Trump has been very open in his contempt for the international community as a whole, allies included, and has worked publically towards 'putting America first' no matter the toes stepped on in the process.
American international relations are not what they used to be and when combined with such inflammatory and provocative actions I would expect to see a widespread trepidation towards this most recent escalation towards a major conflict.
It is no longer in the best interests of the larger international community to become haphazardly embroiled in potential dispute, especially considering warming relations among other major global players.
Hence the gravity of this entire situation.
