      1. The aftershock from Trump's European trip are now being felt and they are seismic. The rift between Europe & USA likely to last.

      2. Key to understanding rift is that European doubts about America pre-date Trump; remember opposition to Iraq war in 2003.

      3. raq War is the Everest of contemporary history. We live in its shadows. It raised fundamental questions about America as global power

      4. It's symptomatic of how entrenched Western alliance is after Iraq, Europeans still wanted to give USA another chance. Obama was reset.

      5. Trump is Bush squared. Bush could be forgiven as someone with a mistaken ideology. Trump is different. He's actively malicious.

      5. From the point of view of a Merkel or Macron Trump is someone actively hostile to their national agendas: he's anti-EU, NATO ambivalent

      6. By failing to affirm Article Five, support for Brexit & wink-wink support for figures like Le Pen, Trump cuts to heart of Europe

      7. Problem is not just Trump but fact that almost entire GOP is either enabling or supporting Trump.

      8. NATO can only be stable if it has broad bipartisan support in USA. NATO countries now know that it doesn't, so they have to move on

      9. Logic of situation is for reconfigured NATO, with Germany & France as heads, USA either out or playing a minor role.

          trumpers are okay with this & see it as success. At the moment. No forethought to long term consequences.

          US fine as is. UK has to decide if it throws down with US or Europe. Russia brought into Europe, rules with Germany. E.Europe fucks itself.

          hope this isn't melodramatic but 2-vs-1 configurations of Russia-France-Germany have not worked out peaceably in the past

          Logic is towards a system no longer in equilibrium. Too many forces and too much energy released to predict anything but uncertainty
