conversely, whoever is making geostrategic decisions in the white house right now (it is likely not actually donald trump) is reversing decades of systemic strategic error that set in during the bush administration. why didn't the pentagon seek to work with israel to contain iran like it's doing now in the first place? it tried to conquer iraq and afghanistan,which was stupid. the nuclear deal that obama signed was a face-saving strategy to hide the fact that the russians walked in after that, and once the russians set up those missile defense systems, america had no choice but to adjust.
the recent movements in armenia, in lebanon and in syria are smart containment decisions.
the tariffs are stupid. the anti-woke bullshit is stupid. the immigration policy is mostly stupid. the abortion policy is stupid.
the recent geopolitical strategy is not stupid. whatever neo-kissinger is in there making choices is making good choices and knows what they're doing.
what america is doing is leaving europe behind and moving on.
