A number of foreign policy experts came out against Trump. Any American who has travelled to a foreign country knows something about foreign policy. Ordinary Americans are popular and well liked around the world. It does not matter whether they travel as tourists, exchange students, missionaries, residents of military bases, aid workers, etc. Ordinary Americans have a very good reputation in foreign countries.
But American foreign policy is hated. This is because foreign-policy experts engage in foreign social engineering, trying to change foreign cultures and overthrow foreign governments. Americans hate domestic social engineering, when it is carried out in America. Foreigners hate foreign social engineering when it is carried out by foreign policy experts.
It is foreign policy experts who cause America to be hated by foreigners, not average Americans.
We need a school of foreign policy, where ordinary Americans can educate American foreign policy experts about foreign policy.
The Neo-conservative foreign policy is “Bomb First, and ask questions later”. Any alternative foreign policy is better than that.
As far as I’m concerned, any ‘foreign policy expert’ is just another has been, or soon-to-be has been looking for relevancy in a time of change.
Their credentials are largely elitist, fueled by teachings from doddering old fools in ivy league colleges and they are instilled into a good old chap network of assholes that will last them through several lifetimes. Elitist netherworld poltroons who wouldn’t know drive by America if they tripped over it.
I don’t think so. They have to pay attention first.
It’s worse than that. It’s “let’s take out foreign leaders we don’t like/don’t go along with some globalist and/or money making scheme and replace them with guys who are infinitely worse and hardcore mohammedans, thus ensuring mass butchery”.
Well, of course, yes there is that. You first have to engage in some kind of two-way dialogue to discern their true no-value, but I still maintain there still isn’t any “there” there to start with. :0)
You’ve summed it up exactly. When O was first elected, my friends in the Dominican Republic were all excited. That excitement quickly faded when he appointed a gay ambassador to their country. It was a clear lack of respect for their mores and customs.
Pretty simplistic view.
There is NO part of our current Government that isn’t totally corrupt.
Do you put John Bolton in that category?

Good observation. American foreign policy experts are out of touch elitists who do not understand ordinary Americans. How can they understand foreigners, if they do not even understand their own people.
Our federal government is infested by the least pro-American segment of the population, graduates of Harvard, our president being Exhibit A. These “experts” consider themselves smarter than God, whom they don’t believe in, and feel free to play chess, with the citizens of other nations being the pawns. No wonder those countries hate America’s government. That is the real “recruiter of terrorists” at work in our world today. Hillary Clinton will change none of that, because she comes from the same egotistical, elite mold.
No, not really. Primarily because he has endorsed Donald Trump. Regardless his is a ‘singularity’ among many, many plurals not worth the spit to summon up a loogie.

The damage was minimal since Japan and the United States enjoy a great relationship both commercially and culturally. There are over 50,000 Americans living in Japan and 850,000 Japanese living in America who know better. This is the reason why any political appointee might do a credible job as ambassador to Japan.
This, however, is not the case for most countries with whom we do not enjoy such a deep relationship.
Foreign policy “experts”, and the State Department, seem to be dominated by Ivy League types, and thus cultural Marxists.
Who needs that!?

Only the ones we here from. I’ve worked alongside hundreds... and if not thousands of analysts and they have their heads on right.
They just don’t appear on the news. It’s the people that appear on the news that make you think that no one knows what’s going on.
There are Analysts who can rattle off all of the family acquaintances of obscure Kuwaiti emirs, and can tell you where they live, what they do for a living, how they react to things, etc.
We know foreign policy, and we know the global playing field. You just don’t see those people.
