      1. We have to be as radical as reality itself and accept what is true even if it seems strange & unsettling. The President of the United States wants to destroy the Western alliance.https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/us-assessing-cost-of-keeping-troops-in-germany-as-trump-battles-with-europe/2018/06/29/94689094-ca9f-490c-b3be-b135970de3fc_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.d9398535aa32 …

      2. Now, at the risk of destroying any chance of ever getting a job at a think tank, I have to say: we shouldn't fetishize the Western Alliance. There's a genuine argument that USA should have a more modest foreign policy.

      3. What Trump is doing is very strange, in that he's breaking with 70 years of American foreign policy & targeting the very institutions the USA made: NATO, EU, Gatt, G-7 etc.

          4. But for me the larger problem is not so much Trump's desire to draw back USA power but the way he's doing it, by fiat without buy-in from any American institutions.

          5. Even as Trump is preaching America drawback, there's lots of signs that his Secretary of Defense & others aren't buying it. So USA is sending very mixed messages to world. That's dangerous.

          The US encouraged the formation of the EU, yes.

          He's been a critic of these institutions for 30 years. It is an aberration from 70 years of American foreign policy, but it seems like these institutions were under a lot of strain even before Trump's arrival. New alliances are forming (NORDEFCO, etc.)

          It goes back a lot longer. At least 1890s. Listen to this extremely interesting podcast: http://profcj.org/ep160/?subscribe=success#blog_subscription-3 …

          These are institutions the U.S. created/fostered that enable U.S. leadership & massively benefit the U.S. To dismantle that architecture, with no replacement plan in sight & no assessment of the actual costs to the U.S., is to engage in Brexit-style folly on a global scale.

          And targeting these American institutions by default makes him Un American.
