HOW TO CONTAIN AMERICA 1) Stop growth of US trade networks. Ideally rollback. 2) Undermine US-Europe relationship. Create doubts about NATO. 3) Weaken int'l institutions and norms. 4) Flip Mexico. 5) Convince world US won't honor agreements. Next steps: Get US out of South Korea?
I don't think there's a grand plan. Seriously, I don't. It's just that if someone wanted to design an anti-American containment strategy, this list would make for a good one. My point is containment's the effect, not the intention.
