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 …

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.

There’s certainly valid criticism to be made of the western alliance, and things need to change, but it’s often better to do nothing than do something badly in foreign policy. Trump’s recklessness is terrifying.

It's also not clear to me that *Trump* realizes he is drawing back American power (as opposed to withdrawing from alliances and then still expecting those allies to say "how high" when we say "jump").
