U.S. asserting unilateral military authority in Western Hemisphere (Venezuela) and Middle East (Syria/ISIS), potentially reducing multilateral coordination. Domestic focus on border control and security suggests inward-oriented nationalism. Regional actors (Venezuela, Syria, ISIS networks) face direct U.S. military pressure without apparent diplomatic framework.
