Changes nothing. You can’t deal with a country in good faith if you are only one election away from them abandoning agreements, principles, the rule of law and they switch from ally and partner to direct threat.
A good president in the next election would be a welcome change and could help minimize the fallout for everyone, but the fundamentals of the world’s reorientation away from the US won’t be fundamentally affected by it. Trust is earned slowly and burnt in an instant. The US is not a reliable partner anymore, if ever. They will need 50 years of rock steady reliability before anyone ever dares trust them again like we did in the past.

Exactly, trust call only be rebuilt with a revised constitution that guarantees this can never happen again. Any of it. Pardons included.
