I saw that. She talks like a religious visionary.
Not someone I want close to the seat of power.
As far as the other nations' opinion of us, it has repercussions for things like trade and diplomacy. Other nations are increasingly able to supply the same kinds of things as we can, and if a potential trade partner has the choice between Nation Q and us, and they don't like us, who do you think they'll choose? How willing will they be to work with us when we need someplace to hold negotiations?
We need to have some kind of good standing in the world and we don't.
