  1. Trump is disbanding the Imperialist Dream. You call it 'Destroying Global Influence' -- the logical contradiction to your opener is lost upon you.

  2. Trump is whipping around, on-a-dime, just as expected. Big Negotiations are NOT an academic treatise. They are usually quite sloppy, crass and even ugly. We're not even at the first-turn... and you are moralizing... and you don't even have the insider's knowledge. Good luck with that.

  3. Stop, the USA is not an Empire -- as defined going back millennia. It's an ANTI-Empire. It got 'big' by being against Colonialism. Remember its birth, its ethos? Sheesh. As time went by, just about everyone decided that they wanted the American Dream: End of Empire, usually by aping the Europeans. Much was learned. The economic function of Empire is to suck up economic advantage and drop it in the Royal Treasury, real old school; or to drop it in the king's capital city, and by extension, his home-boys. Britain absolutely followed this model, was the greatest empire for all time. It's elites have not dropped the Great Game, though. Being 'UN-Britain' was what America was all about. Being 'Anti-Slavery' was adopted about 1865. Paul, you've been to college. It will take a bit longer to deprogram from your Marxist professors.

  4. Wait, you had to let Putin, Xi grow noxious and yet the phenomenon eluded you?
