    The paperback edition of "A World in Disarray," with a new 5000 word Afterword looking at the impact of the Trump Administration's foreign policy, is out. Hint: The world is in greater disarray now than a year ago.

    . truly has his history wrong here. EU (and EC before it) was not set up to take advantage of the US but rather to so integrate Europe that war on the continent on the scale of WWI or WWII would be unthinkable, something v much in the US national interest.

    Smart piece on why US trade deficits are not bad per se. Increasingly, technology raising productivity is the cause of specific job loss. The response should be training for displaced workers, not tariffs/protectionism, which cost more jobs than they save

    As widely predicted, tariffs will cost many more American jobs than they save. Truly misguided when one factors in additional cost of harm being done to long-standing relationships and US reputation.

    time for "agonizing reappraisal" (to use John Foster Dulles' phrase) of US-Turkey relations given its anti-democratic trajectory at home and independent (often at odds w US interests) foreign policy. F-35 sale should be reviewed and alternatives to reliance on its bases explored

    as expected, the news out of Turkey, where Erdogan got the go-ahead to consolidate powers in the presidency and his party will lead a governing coalition. What we are witnessing is the end for now and possibly longer of Turkey being a political and strategic member of the West.

    Asking Sanders to leave may not have violated letter of 1964 Civil Rights Act (which bans denial of access to public accommodations on basis of race, color, religion, or nat’l origin) but it violated its spirit. It is also one more sign we are coming apart

    Smart important piece by ⁦⁩. the bottom line is that ⁦⁩ claims about immigrants are untrue and the only real immigration crisis is the one the administration and congress are creating by what they are doing/not doing

    The economic pressure is coming off NK far more quickly than it is moving to denuclearize. ⁦⁩ will have to decide whether to live with an imperfect situation and declare victory all the same or confront NK w a credible threat of war

    saddened to learn of the death of Charles Krauthammer. We did not always agree, but it was impossible not to respect him and admire the clarity of thought. His 1991 article "The Unipolar Moment" was seminal and shaped debate over post-Cold War US foreign policy.

    just had a thought: is it possible America not playing in the World Cup somehow related to the Trump administration's lack of enthusiasm for US participation in multilateral fora?

    No successful immigration policy can begin at the border. Yes, we need comprehensive reform, but we also need trade and aid policies in Central America to reduce the poverty and help governments contend w violence so that people will not feel compelled to risk their lives to flee

    WH advisors seem unaware China has options other than tariff hikes (including stopping debt purchases) to respond to US tariff hikes...plus trade is hardly the only issue on the US-China agenda. NSC system invented to integrate US policy missing in action

    The Trump admin has a strong case vs the UN Human Rights Council, which really is institutionalized hypocrisy. What weakens its case is its pattern of walking away from multilateral arrangements that deserve US participation, including the Paris accord, TPP, the JCPOA, etc.

    another area where there are no rules re trade wars once they start is "germaneness." before long china might run out of room to respond to US tariff hikes with tariff hikes of its own and instead suspend US debt purchases. this could cause markets to tumble and force rates up.

    sobering statistic: nearly 1 of every 100 people on the planet (68.5 million) is internally displaced (IDP), a refugee, or seeking asylum. nearly 2/3 (40 million) forcibly displaced within their own countries in situations where protections minimal.

    there are no rules of war when it comes to trade wars. no rules as to proportionality, protection of non-combatants, legitimate types of weaponry, requirement for authority. the Trump administration seems to have ignored all this along w the potential retaliation and escalation.
