      Kushner accidentally distilled the fundamental error underlying the Trump admin's misguided foreign policy. "I'm a businessman, and I don't care about the past." But international relations ≠ business. Business is transactional. Foreign policy is about building relationships.

      The President is trying to move away from the liberal/conservative world order and replace it with transactional diplomacy. Each speech is about, "what America can get out of it". As for building long-lasting relationships, that doesn't seem to be the goal.

      He literally said "they can vote against us, I don't care, it will save us money" about the UN/Jerusalem declaration... All he cares about is power and $$$ #truth

      But in the world, there's more power in coalitions than going it alone. You don't get to lord it over people though.

      Absolutely. The #President is going to need a coalition if he intends to to militarily engage #NorthKorea.

      Militarily, economically, diplomatically. It's easier to get cooperation on North Korea because most countries' interests align (at least somewhat). Much harder when they diverge. On Iran, for example.

      Russia and China do not want regime change in North Korea. It risks a possible unified Korea, under a capitalist government. In order for a successful military engagement with the North, it requires China and Russia working with the US, or stepping aside.

      No. But neither want war or nuclear proliferation either.

          True. Do you think that Russia or China is willing to accept regime change? Or if a war breaks out, will the US and it's coalition be willing to withdraw to DMZ border, allowing for temporary Chinese control of the North?

          Both are very wary of downside risks, especially China. But, as always, it depends on what happens. China strongly opposes US military-imposed reunification of the Korean peninsula, and can raise the cost enough that, if war broke out, the US would probably wouldn't force it.

          I agree that the US wouldn't push for reunification. I could see a retreat to the DMZ lines and China having de facto control of the North until a stable regime is put in place. Another possibility is that China invades the North to prevent American/South Korean occupation
