, ultimately IL builds trust and without trust, nothing works. So we should expect to see a decline in cooperation, good will, trade, tourism, and an increase in defense and securities spending, alliances with parties that show to be trustworthy, and less tolerating and then ostracizing those who cannot be trusted.

It must be clear to anyone who has lived for more than a few years that breaking trust is always self-defeating. Even the strongest bully will crack.
