The post-Cold War era of America as sole superpower has evolved into a multipolar world where the United States confronts an alliance of autocracies that believe liberal democracy is a dying political system.
If Trump cuts off U.S. aid to Ukraine and rewards Vladimir Putin for his aggression, it will signal American weakness. That would encourage a new period of aggression by Russia, China, North Korea, and a nuclear-capable Iran.
Putin's mocking attitude toward Trump was on display shortly after the election, when he allowed state-controlled Russian TV to troll the president-elect by showing nude photos of first lady Melania Trump in her modeling days.
If, on the other hand, Trump pursues peace through strength, meaning a fair and secure peace for Ukraine, then the new era will start with a win for the president and America.
