I just looked up Afghanistan figures. It appears that in FY 15, it cost us around $60 billion. $4 billion is peanuts to have aseat at the table.
But short sighted morons like you and Orangetweet are too fucking stupid to realize it.
Chinese media says ‘selfish and irresponsible’ Trump has crippled U.S. leadership

Disagree. America didn't agree to anything. Obama did. Only Obama.

Oh, hi
LMAO, so now libs are looking to China to dictate and evaluate US policy and they approve of it. They want Chinas President to be their President, it seems.
This lib isn't, but both China and Russia are loving our decline as a world leader.

Are we declining because we left the Paris Accords? We can still kick the shit out of both of them.

Chinese propaganda media calls the US selfish and irresponsible and this is a bad thing.
We shouldn't care about such superficial global relationships then if our leadership qualities are only measured by our signature on welfare checks to them.

Let's not forget that Chinese media broadcast a conversation between two of their astronauts twelve hours before they even launched.
Let's not forget Orangetweet told the Chinese they could keep our underwater drone about 9 hours after arrangements were made to return it.

Oh, hi
Okay, I should have said some or most.
Our decline started under Obama. Trump is certainly not helping right now, but it remains to be seen how things up.
I honestly think people are freaking out over the Paris Accords. Just because we are not a signatory to it, doesn't mean we can't still make a cleaner earth, as we have been. All he wanted to do was make the deal more fair for America and they outright rejected it without even hearing what he had to say.
Our decline started under Reagan and deficits don't matter, our reputation under Bush 43, in my opinion.

Oh, hi
Interesting opinion, because, due to Reagan's actions against the USSR, we became the sole super power in the world and greatly respected. I think under Bush jr, people didn't like him, but still knew America was great. Then Obama comes along and portrays a weak leader. At first the world was like yeah, no more Bushy jr, and then they were like, what, he is practically continuing his war stuffs. In his latter term, America's position began to slide.
I think Trump believes he can just act like the CEO of his company (read country) and just make everyone do what he wants. He is incredibly naive about government, world politics and geopolitics. They he treated some world leaders when he was first in office, made me cringe. And these are our closest allies! I am not sure how well his first oversees trip went, because it has been marred by only one issue, the Paris Accord or Agreement.
People are literally freaking out over this and acting as if Trump just doomed the world. That is hysterical nonsense. All he wanted was to negotiate fairer terms for the US and they wouldn't even listen. Their loss. Because without the US, the PA is almost a paper tiger.
