Foreign policy is not something that fits on the back of a cereal box.

Obama put China on notice we would defend our interests in the south china sea and Trump just did a lot of damage to that effort.

It is complicated and usually subtle e.g. don't you understand when trump unilaterally decided to stop the military exercises with South Korea, he sent a message to our allies that he might not support them in the future.

Don;t you realize that his doing that without consulting Japan and south Korea was a major foreign policy blunder.

Don;t you understand that Trump played right into the hands of Russia,China and North Korea when he did that and got nothing in return. i am sure they had a huge party at how dumb Trump was.

They have wanted that for a long time. And when he did that he was siding with them against our allies.

He did great damage to our foreign policy around the world with that little stunt.

Foreign policy is complicated and nothing the village idiot should be doing solo!

And what exactly came of it, koan? Any permanent changes?
