Trump doing immense damage by failing to unequivocally support UK over Russian chemical attack. UK fought in Afghanistan and Iraq. Intel agencies fought Cold War together, and then War on Terror. Now UK, and the entire world, sees US not backing closest ally. They won't forget.

Worst part is, the damage is lasting. US and UK always have each other's back. Always. Even if Trump eventually does the right thing, every day he waits weakens that bond built over decades. And if he never does, it shows UK--and all US allies--they can't depend on America. 6/x

How can NATO members--especially in eastern Europe--watch this and think the US will honor its commitments to protect them from Russia? After seeing this, why would east Asian allies think it's smart to keep resisting Chinese influence because they can depend on America? 7/x

And what a slap in the face to the UK! This might be Trump's biggest mistake yet. Shows he clearly doesn't understand how important voluntary, reciprocal alliances are to US power. And none more than UK. Next time US needs help, they'll remember US wasn't there for them. (END)

I agree. There’s only so much damage an idiot can do; Trump seems hell-bent on destroying every shred of domestic and international stability, good and influence America enjoyed. Only if you see that destruction as policy do all his actions start to make sense.

Okay, let's assume Trump's not a Russian agent. But what if he *was* a Russian agent. What would be different?
