We unilaterally withdrew from the Iran treaty.
We unilaterally withdrew from the START treaty.
We unilaterally withdrew from the NAFTA accords.

We abandoned Afghan translators who risked their lives to help the US military.
We have now abandoned the Kurds who defeated ISIS in Syria.

We have thrown our NATO allies under the bus in order to appease Vladimir Putin.
We sold out Ukraine to Russia (proposed peace plan concedes eastern Ukraine and Crimea to Putin).
