"Not putting any weight on the interests and needs of the rest of the world when making decisions." Well I think Israel might beg to differ: they called the shots here. This administration definitely cares about their interests and needs, arguably more than American interests and needs.
About the Arab Gulf states, yes. About Ukraine, less so. The U.S. has supported Ukraine, but it has not carried out direct attacks on Russia at Zelensky’s urging.
Spreading democracy is not a universal good. See the election of Hamas.
In a world where everyone doubts your claimed “primary motive,” I think it’s a good thing to prompt analysis from as many angles as possible. Ethically complicated actions should be judged on the sum of their complex effects, no honest viewpoints should be dismissed as “irrelevant to the cause.”
