Jeet Heer added,
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.
Humanitarian arguments will never work. Only way it really changes is if voters put their foot down re: European freeriding.
Is there any meaningful anti-NATO sentiment in Canada, Jeet?
(I presume)
