The new world order:
“The American empire may be creaking, and Trump may be extraordinarily unattractive, but an alliance with his new administration is still surely preferable to being dependent on Russian energy, Middle East oil producers, or the cadres in China.”
One would hope.
The American empire may be creaking,…
Oil exports along with its derivative petroleum based greases, should help stop the creaking….
“Whereas his predecessors sought engagement with other countries, Trump’s style will be to cut deals narrowly perceived as beneficial to the United States.”
These two are not mutually exclusive.
Unpredictability arises from the cognitive dissonance of people who consume propaganda and lack the ability to filter it. It works in Trump’s favor and has been termed, the Trump Effect.
“Trump may be extraordinarily unattractive”
What a bunch of crybabies.
