A summit that would normally send a reassuring message ... faces total uncertainty thanks to the weakness of the United States. The only person to blame for this is Trump.
The Beijing summit did not produce a major agreement between the great powers on the region, but it firmly established that Middle Eastern crises are now deeply tied to the great-power dialogue.
During the Cold War, the United States occupied the apex of this triangular dynamic, pitting China and the USSR against each other. Today, it is Beijing that occupies that apex.

[T]his wretched president has trampled on, chewed up and spat out pieces of sovereignty, not only of Mexico, but also of our sister countries in Latin America.
The United States’ demand for drugs destroys Mexico’s everyday life, and those who escape from this destroyed life are again met with the guns of U.S. ICE agents.
If there’s any “purity” operating in this election it’s Bernie’s “pure FDR.” That Americans (like the author of this article) see that as a dangerous, radical position says a lot about how far to the right the whole of America has lurched since the end of WWII. The country is right next door to fascism, and everything to the left of them looks like anarchy.
Bernie isn’t gonna win the nomination, but if he did, he’d almost certainly lose the election — unless, of course, The Donald should be his opponent. (O, what a lovely circus that would be! Jon Stewart would shoot himself in the head for quitting if it came down to those two.) And if one of those imbecile and/or simply clueless Republicans should win, he would speed up the decline of the American empire, just as Dubya did. They can’t help it; they’re Republicans.
