      2. The standard bi-partisan consensus since 1941 is the USA is "the indispensable nation" but, you know, what if it's not?

      3. Argument for USA global hegemony: nation is pillar of international order & trade. Without it, return to 1930s chaos. Is that true?

          I think it is clear that the American century is over. Whatever else happens with Trump, he has broken the image of American stability.

          4. Donald Trump's presidency is turning out to be an interesting test of whether USA is "indispensable nation" or not.

          5. While Trump's "America First" policy has been thwarted by the adults, in its place we have incoherence.

          Always worth remembering that before Trump, the W Bush admin spent a lot of time actively undermining international organizations

          They argued that instead of building a multilateral order, we'll have a hegemony. Now, with America-Firsters, we'll have neither.

          Global capitalism weathered the end of Dutch hegemony and British hegemony. It should make it through the decline of US hegemony as well.

          Less worried about 1930s chaos, more worried about 1870s to 1914 great power jockeying, but with nukes.
