Steve HermanThe Trump administration's move to dismantle key elements of U.S. soft power "represent a systematic contraction of the United States’ capacity to make a credible and compelling case for its policies and behaviors in the global information space." https://uscpublicdiplomacy.org/blog/strategic-impatience-and-undoing-american-soft-power
AnnieBuddyWhat credible and compelling policy are they trying to advance other than their own agenda of supremacy and unilateral control over other sovereign nations?
Soft power comes from respect and the US has been showing very little respect for others over the last 30 years, not just during the Trump regime.
There’s a lot of correcting that must happen and it won’t begin until the entire US learns that violence and force harm them as much as everyone they inflict it on.
