From the AP: In testimony before the House Armed Services Committee former General David Petraeus said that if the United States does not preserve the world order it created, the order will collapse, "which is what Putin wants."
DAVID PETRAEUS: Americans should not take the current international order for granted. It did not will itself into existence; we created it. Likewise, it is not naturally self-sustaining; we have sustained it. If we stop doing so, it will fray and eventually collapse.
Petraeus also urged the new Trump adminstration to resolve the issues surrounding its temporary travel ban from seven Middle Eastern and African nations.
