The New World Order?

Much to consider here.

I am not sure I agree with the article that the new diplomacy and foreign relations that we are seeing are here to stay.

Maybe the US is acting like the late 1900's but the world was a very very different place. I just dont see the President Trump brand of foreign relations being something that the US will "adopt" going forward long term.

I'm not as concerned with the diplomatic aspects. That ebbs and flows. They are, I think, right about re-industrializing the country.

Agree with @taiwan_girl that (hopefully) the Trump approach is not a long term thing. What is long-term unfortunately is the realization by our allies that our electorate every few years can put in a nut job that can undercut diplomacy and trust BIGLY. I'd imagine eventually the weaker Russian, Chinese, and Iranian economies will prevent them from becoming too strong or aggressive out of self-preservation.
