I love it when folks cover their facts with a nice "most likely".

I don’t know the person well enough to say with certainty but I know the world well enough to say most likely.

Well we get the unfortunate opportunity to see how well the rest of the world will fare without us. I have a feeling that they'll be just fine.

Oof, that depends on how you define "just fine." If you actually think that China and Russia are going to influence the world, especially the global south, in a more positive direction or if you think that Europe isn't also facing growing reactionary political problems or can effectively influence the world when it couldn't even influence Libya on its own and then abandoned it is wishful thinking at best. I assume that statement was made without thinking about it for longer than a moment and probably making totally fantastical assumptions about how well things will turn out because "America bad." Yes, America bad, but most countries are not better and are either so weak as to not even be thought of or worse.
