What a Trumpian foreign policy might look like

Top | New | Old
I’m curious if your opinions have changed any in the past two months? I think the negatives greatly outweigh any positives, but that’s just me. He’s already greatly offended or attacked many of our former allies, and I think this will serve to isolate us further from the rest of the world, with a handful of exceptions. They will certainly fear us, and I doubt any will feel any goodwill towards us, or want to help us when we need it in the future.
@CedricH I agree. I also found Musk’s involvement in far right German politics to be unsettling, and makes me wonder what his end game would be by getting publicly involved in that.

@RockerDad What should’ve been a consequential election was just another affirmation of a deeply flawed and inadequate status quo. Our electoral system and our constitution, however, aren’t primed to enable game changing elections. Even though that’s exactly what Germany, Europe and the free world need right about now.

@RockerDad the endgame would be a world filled with countries ruled by right-wing populists, aspiring to abandon enlightened values in favor of tribal, racial, patriarchal, religious and hierarchical social norms, imposed by an authoritarian and increasingly dictatorial state.

Can you break down why the elements in the positive column are in the positive column? More cooperation from Mexican government is the only one that looks clearly good. Energy exports could be good, but the energy being exported is non-renewable, so that's kind of cashing out our future for profits today.

The rest I'm not sure are positive at all.

@ViciDraco That‘s my personal evaluation, you don’t have to agree with it. This post is more about what I think can be expected of the Trump administration’s foreign policy.

As an European, I believe American economic nationalism and deteriorating transatlantic relationship would be really positive. The survival of Europe depends on stop being an American vassal.
