I gasped at the title, read the article, and had to post it for the grand irony of the author condemning Trump for his foreign policy decisions, while ignoring Obama's failures and retreat from global leadership.

I am inadequate to mock this man. He is the CEO of the board of Foreign Policy magazine, which steadily amazes me by its irrational and surreal leftist, anti-American world view. I post it here, hoping to enjoy your comments. Have at it!

So the globalists don’t like Trump’s “America first” policy?

Well, you know what they say. Eff ‘em if they can’t take a joke.

“Given the changes that occurred in 1991 with the end of the Cold War...”

I’m guessing this idiot was against Reagan’s “Evil Empire” comments and marched in multiple “Unilateral Nuclear-disarmament” marches.

what’s interesting is that the party of change can’t comprehend change

the magnitude of rapid change is so great it is beyond comprehension

...often without benefit of consultation with his cabinet departments, experts of any sort, or the legislative branch of government...

BULL! Trump's style is to consult with experts all the time. Then take confident decisive action at the right time. One of his central life talents is hiring and taking advice from the right people....and knowing who the right people are (and firing the others...).

He has been consulting for quite some time on what to do when he started....rather than golfing and avoiding work...

Maybe not. Trump’s muscular “America First” policy may actually make him a more dynamic world leader than we’ve seen in a generation.

Before the Election, my S-I-L told me that no matter who gets Elected, Globalism is here to stay. I disagreed.

Well, I believe she was mistaken. #;^)

Perfect example of Projection.
Trump is the Big Growling Dog. The World better understand.
An American Nation flexing it’s muscle, and Declaring were No. #1 is extremely satisfying.

Response to headline: You mean versus previous POTUS who put a hand in his pocket as his last POTUS act, found some "spare change"--$221 million--& transferred it to the Palestinian Authority...after giving the Lebanese military $50 million worth of weaponry in August?

Obama Transfers $221M to Palestinian Authority in Final Hours: On his last morning, outgoing President Barack Obama sent more than $200 million to the Palestinian Authority.

Judging from poor prose quality of this piece, one could infer that it was not written tongue-in-cheek. Pox, as in Small or Chicken, is a disease,
whereas Pax, as in Roman, is the period of time where peace existed for many decades thanks to the Roman Empire. Poor word comprehension is not surprising, however, in Alt-Leninist, low IQ journalism.

Foreign Policy is a liberal rag. It reads like the founding editor was Alger Hiss.

What’s wrong with right-wing nationalism?

Multinational institutions are dangerous, cumbersome and damaging to our national interest.

Like the UN. Sooner we leave it, the better off we will be.

The author wrings his hands over Trump backing out of promises to governments and refugees in wars that we started. We’ve been fighting in Afghanistan for 16 years now and that means it is immoral for us to stop, is what he seems to be saying.

For Obama, the idea of “victory” in Afghanistan was distasteful. It was beneath him to articulate what our goal was in the expenditure of so much wealth and young lives. Perhaps Trump will be able to identify some kind of purpose and end point for our war in Afghanistan.
