Summary/Abstract: US public opinion has long been torn between support for US alliances and a leading US role in the world on the one hand, and a skepticism about the costs and responsibilities of leadership. Democracies have a habit of messing up, particularly in early stages of new challenges. But they have in the past demonstrated a resilience that can astonish both themselves and their adversaries, and are showing some of this now. Of particular interest to Lithuania, a Biden administration would also focus with greater consistency on combating the Kremlin and other forms of disinformation and on ways to combat corrupt money flows (one of the vectors of Kremlin influence).
