Americas foreign policy has changed more in the week since Donald Trump took office than it has at any time since the end of World War II. Given the changes that occurred in 1991 with the end of the Cold War and after the attacks on 9/11, that is saying something. But the changes ushered in by Trump often without benefit of consultation with his cabinet departments, experts of any sort, or the legislative branch of government cut to the core philosophies that have guided America in the modern era, as well as to the specifics of relations with an extraordinarily wide array of countries and regions.

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.
Looks like he lost a handkerchief at Comet Ping Pong.
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.
I'm flattered! JimRob himself responds to this pathetic leftist.
Thanks everyone, for your invective. And facts.
Gilligan made it off the island?
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.
I’m not sure if this “writer” is being clever or ignorant, but the phrase is usually rendered “PAX xxxxxx-na,” “pax” being the Latin for “peace.” “Pox” is a disease, so maybe he thought he was coining some witty turn of phrase ...
Please delete post 20? Thanks ( I PM’d you too)
Would you delete post 20 ? (I PM’d you too! Thanks)
Excellent !
Does this author truly believe the President just started thinking about these issues at 12:01 pm, Jan 20, all by himself? Good grief, no experts, really?
“Trumps Pox Americana-President has sounded an unprecedented retreat from its role as a world leader”
Nope. just retreat from being the world’s policeman for free, sacrificing our treasure and blood for other people’s problems, in many cases people who actually hate us.
The changes were, however, pre-approved by the American voters.

First I thought it was an ignorant error, then I concluded he meant the misspelling to be cute.
An I wonder how they verified that statement....
