"The West is turning inward and going home, leaving the field to the rising authoritarians — Russia, China and Iran."  

What you say assumes organizations like NATO and ASSEAN and the U.N. are irrelevant and ineffective.  That`s absurd.  You need a reality check.  
Without democracy in some affective form there is no freedom. 
There is no democracy in Russia or China or Iran. Nor is their real freedom to think or speak freely. No thanks. 
And I have more faith that a bad movement will fail.  The newly elected President of the DEMOCRACY in Taiwan (the island nation that fled Chinese communism in 1949) called Trump and offered congratulations. Trump called HER back and congratulated HER on her winning the Taiwan presidency!   That has not set well with the BIG China who thinks it owns that little free nation named Taiwan.. If we have a new President who will stand toe to toe with a fear sewing regional bully..instead of appeasing them, well it`s about time.  "Peace in Our Time"?
