Who is left to alienate?

"This conflict has revealed in America that is unreliable and incapable of finishing what it started. Defeat for the United States, therefore, is not only possible, but likely."

Robert Kagan nails it in The Atlantic

Trump is clinging to a false choice: a bad deal, waiting for Iran to collapse, or more war.

None of these paths work. Never did.
Strip away the rhetoric—this isn’t strategy. It’s drift. And yes, it’s a quagmire.

https://thedemocracyadvocate.com/2026/02/robert-kagan-predicts-trump-2026-dictatorship/

#robertkagan ein führender konservativer #us - Politikberater beurteilt die politische Situation in der #usa . Es fallen Worte wie #faschismus , #rassismus und #imperialismus zur #politik von #trump . Nur #europa könne den #liberalismus erhalten, sei aber gegen #russland und die USA auf dem Weg in eine #diktatur auf sich allein gestellt.
Trotz der bitteren Botschaft ist das Interview sehr lesenswert!
