    Attempts to sanewash Trump always end up silly. How’s US going to defend Taiwan if push comes to shove? They just committed to Middle East indefinitely while also blowing through AA munitions.

        You’re assuming those things were planned and not just unintended consequences due to lack of planning. That’s the definition of sanewashing. In a few weeks Trump will do something at whim that will disprove that there is a consistent strategy, as has been happening over and over during his term so far.

          Yeah, totally. In a few weeks Trump will flip sides and suddenly lift the embargo on Cuba and become a supporter of their regime.
          Let’s not kid ourselves. Republicans or Democrats, the Usaians have generally kept a steady trajectory when it came to their global hegemony status.
          That is not changing any time soon.
