Just part of the broader trend.
America failed to build cohesive and stable global institutions after the post-Soviet era.
We spoiled this magical post 1992 golden hour, and now those institutions (WHO, WTO, among others) fail to hold rising powers like China accountable.
Rather than rebuild and reinvigorate those institutions, we turn to nationalism, sectarian politics and isolationism.
That American retrenchment then further weakens those international institutions, hastening their devolution into proxy organizations.
Which the isolationists then use as evidence, to argue for a further reduction in our foreign commitments.
Until the cycle finds a bottom.
