This admin officially takes a dump on a proud post WWII American history. From HCR:
Walking away from the U.S.-led international systems that reinforce the principles of national self-determination and have kept the world relatively safe since World War II, the Trump administration is embracing the old idea of spheres of influence in which less powerful countries are controlled by great powers, a system in place before World War II and favored now by Russia’s president Vladimir Putin, among others.
Your piece does nothing to address the problem stated above - that we are trashing an alliance that has kept our known world safe, and that we are going back to spheres of influence, etc. It simply blames Europe for its problems, an opinion piece, but you are avoiding any commentary on the above.
So exactly what are your ideas on trashing the alliance? And no, I don't want to hear about how it's all Europe's fault. I want to hear a foreign policy explanation on what we gain, what we lose, how you determine that, and how it is to our advantage to abandon the alliance instead of reforging it. Now is your time to shine as the great explainer of Trump's master foreign policy that will keep us on top for another hundred years. Show us the master plan and explain how we benefit hugely from walking away, but no digression into its all Europe's fault, etc.
You have the floor.
