Eastern Europe: US Expanding Another ‘Dumb War’

Trump, grandson of a German immigrant, is particularly peeved at an independent South Africa, which was the worst example of a Western supremacist-cum-colonial mindset.

Israel [needs] to move from basing relations with the U.S. on a concept of shared values to basing relations on Israel's value as an asset to the U.S.

Trump cannot be bound by any manifesto.

While European leaders want to preserve the American security umbrella without subscribing to Trump’s ideological project, he demands that they adhere to a MAGA-fied global order yet offers little in return.

[H]ad Trump not mobilized the guard for political purposes, the shooting might not have happened.

[T]e MAGA underworld and the Trump administration continue to feed off each other.

One of the most striking aspects of the strategy is the degree to which it personalizes foreign policy around Donald Trump himself.

It is either the American “applying pressure” or the Israeli “being pressured,” per the ubiquitous epithets of the moment.
