Re: "But I am talking about the loss of goodwill and friendship with a host of countries that will weaken us on our negotiating positions on a whole range of mundane issues ranging from how we handle our day to day economic affairs, all the way to how we handle future threats such as North Korea. Yep, this is going to not only cost us, but the whole world a bunch of headaches."

Well, I think you are just pessimistic where only time will tell for sure, and the likelihood remains that we'll remain in the strongest of positions for having solved problems in the world.
