Mulcair: Während Carney und andere Führer zurückweichen, schlägt Trump im Iran heftig um sich

We’ll see where it goes, but so far it’s an interesting case study in the limitations of Trump’s strong-man „diplomacy“.

He wants other countries, especially NATO, to take more of the burden of policing the world.  But because he launched into this war unilaterally, without so much as a heads-up to his nominal allies, he owns this entire quagmire.

If he had approached NATO countries, especially the UK, ahead of time and sold them on the need for action against Iran, I bet they would have been a lot more willing to support in roles like mine clearing and convoy duty.

Trump is learning in real time that while America doesn’t „need“ its allies, life is a lot less comfortable without them
