Trump vies for Bush’s crown for worst foreign policy decision in history (www.theguardian.com)

In the space of eight minutes, Trump proceeded to upend half a century of US foreign policy [...?], renege on his campaign promise to avoid the risk of forever wars and leave the Fifa boss, Gianni Infantino, with some explaining to do about why he gave Trump a made-up peace prize.

“There is also a beautiful medal for you that you can wear everywhere you want to go,” the oleaginous Infantino had told Trump last December. Trump was not wearing that medal on Saturday. Instead he delivered a performance that would have had soccer fans chanting: “Are you George Bush in disguise?”

Bush dragged the US into a tragic war in Iraq in 2003 that costs hundreds of thousands of lives and trillions of dollars and was recently crowned by the Council on Foreign Relations thinktank as the worst foreign policy decision in history. The avaricious Trump seems determined to seize that title for himself with another act of Middle Eastern regime change.

He has irreparably broken the alliances with Canada and all NATO countries, which are only nominally maintained while they reorganize without the USA, he traded it for a flimsy personal friendship with Putin and sheer servility toward Israel. He won that trophy a long time ago.

I guess this what the us public sees as a viable 'save gaza' solution: if everyone ia dead, will anyone care?

Don't forget killing USAID, and the untold numbers of unnecessary deaths that will result, to say nothing of the harm to US soft power abroad.
