      Irony is Trump, who ran on implementing foreign policy revolution, has less ability to resist National Security elite than other presidents

      To actually implement something like rapprochement with Russia you need to have clean hands. Trump's hands are dirty, so hawks have won

      If Trump had been a more policy-savvy, engaged leader with a deep bench of simpatico appointees, he could've changed foreign policy

      It's very hard to change American foreign policy (absent a Pearl Harbor or 9/11) because NatSec elite very mulish & committed to status quo

          Call it what you will -- the National Security Elite, the Deep State, the Blob. It's very pig-headed & knows how to sabotage change.

          Imagine if Nixon/Kissinger tried to change China policy while having mysterious financial ties to China. NatSec state would've killed them
