I discovered that not only did I feel fine walking around, I'd felt far less safe in some parts of Australia. I suggested that being as well informed as you can is a good place to start.

Instead the dictatorial nature of what I see as an incompetent strategic leader is unilaterally withdrawing the USA from its long standing and beneficial partnerships with the rest of the world.
