Looks like most in the EU don’t yet get it. Trump’s going to withdraw from international conflicts (except ISIS) and U.S. world policing duties left over from WWII and the cold war, and focus almost exclusively on domestic policy, fixing the many things broken about our country and let the rest of the world take care of itself for a change.
Trump will reach some kind of agreement with Putin, and then bow out, and let Europe fend for themselves against the Russians. If the Germans, French and other European countries want to hollow themselves out with unlimited immigration of Muslim peoples so backwards that flush toilets are a challenge and then are unable to deal with Putin because of such poor decision making, then so be it.
The Koreans and Japanese will be given the go ahead to build a nuclear arsenal and build up their military and then THEY can deal with China militarily, not us.
Trump will still guard the oil in the Middle East but make the oil countries pay for the guarding.
For the first time, the world will be made to take care of itself without the backing of U.S. industrial might, because the parts of the world that matter now have their own industrial might. They’ll also have to learn good decision-making as well, without having Uncle Sam to bail them out should they make fatal mistakes.
This new foreign policy will be one of the major reasons Trump will be able to succeed in fixing our nation, where the Bushes, Clintons, and Obamas have failed.
Good post. Fully agree.
