Why do I already have a feeling like I know where this is going?
Europe is going to decide they don't want to deal with our crap and will unify and push forward without us. Why wouldn't they just say screw us? They can move forward with a unified plan to help Ukraine and leave us out in the cold.
This is their opportunity to be the leader in global politics. How much is that worth? Why not push to make the Euro the global currency?
Trump's entire life has been nothing more than him trying to act like a tough guy. A tough negotiator that bullies the little guy and tries to establish dominance.
But the response has always been the same: eventually he is blackballed from everywhere and nobody wants to deal with his shit.
The strategy he uses to be an alpha is the strategy that results in him being the beta.
No, but if you think this was bad, imagine what the world would have been like without a liberal-internationalist United States. Actually, you won't have to imagine for very long.
Since the end of the Cold War we have not been a force for good in the world. Constant wars and sanctions have made almost everyone skeptical or hostile. I am not worried about Europe and Ukraine although I had hoped we would give more help not less.

Well said.
Wasn’t really a whole lot of Pax in that Americana was there?
