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

      6. Major voices of USA foreign policy (Trump, Tillerson, McMaster, Haley) constantly contradicting each other. USA has no foreign policy.

      7. Because of incoherence of messaging, other nations literally have no idea where USA stands on major issues. A vacuum now exists.

      8. So what happens when USA is paralyzed? Will world descend into chaos? Will regional powers emerge? Or maybe nothing much: world is fine.

      9. Unlike 1920s/1930s, there's no major ideological division between great power. China, notably, very committed to trade.

      10. USA has always been a paradoxical hegemon: a global superpower with a parochial population. Trump is this paradox made flesh.

      11. In this article I ask whether America really is an indispensable nation or whether it's a disposable superpower:https://newrepublic.com/article/142571/donald-trump-killed-indispensable-nation-good …

      12. Since people are asking, here's the link to the "where is North Korea" map: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/05/14/upshot/if-americans-can-find-north-korea-on-a-map-theyre-more-likely-to-prefer-diplomacy.html?smid=tw-share&_r=0 …

      13. We can read too much into map poll but there are interesting results: people who could locate NK more likely to support diplomacy

      14. The people who couldn't locate NK more likely to favor bombing. That's electorate that creates destabilizing militarism.

      15. The whole idea of "indispensable nation" is USA is force for stability in the world. But is it really?

          The world has not, generally, been kind to former hegemons, if the US can leave that position gracefully, it might not be a bad thing...

          16. I'd argue since 1945 USA has supported stability in core capitalist countries (NA, Western Europe, Japan) & destabilization elsewhere

          17. Has America really been force for stability in the Middle East? In South East Asia? In Latin America? Nope. Maybe USA retreat not so bad

          Well the world is still more stable now than in any other era. So it seems a testament to what could be if America itself was more stable

          It has always been a sort of strong-arm-pro-West-stability though, Obama typifies that calls for diplomacy and trade and bombs middle East
