The term snowflake is equivalent to trumpette and namecalling is childish. And Trump uses that childishness aggressively
As for the russian footprint in the middle east, the world will never allow a vacuum. Most of the US, and I think most liberal activists, wanted the US to not get embroiled in any more mideast wars over oil, so there is this mixed goal of getting out of the never ending war cycle and maintaining influence. I will concede that Trump hasn't found the perfect balance of maintaining influence vs extractating US from embroilment, anymore than any other president since 1948.
My point was, and is, that the claim that Trump is destroying the US is overreactive and fueled mostly by innuendo. I did not say we now live in a bubble wrapped world where only unicorns and rainbows exist. We all know that is not the case

When the POTUS doubts the IA’s information and does so publicly it destroys the faith they, and their contacts have in us. When someone doubts, even slightly, our word (trump represents our country) that can be devastating. I think you are underestimating the power of tweets/words of the POTUS can have on our standing in the world.
