Unless the whole world is going to turn completely isolationist, we should care about the leaders and politics of other countries. This world is super interconnected and those connections and interdependences help to make and maintain friendships between countries. People across the world also care about what's happening in the US because we a super power, and what we do or what happens to us has global repercussions. I think the idea of every country putting blinders on and ignoring the rest of the world spells disaster, especially when we think about where food and other resources come from.
