State of the Union: Dysfunctional US fuels global anxiety
After a dizzying round of speaking engagements in Washington D.C. one can but help coming away with the impression that the capital of the United States is not only deeply divided but also mightily dysfunctional. Beyond the many wars that Mr Trump is fighting with the American media, the intelligence community and a host of world leaders — from Mexico to Australia — there is a sense of deep dread among the policy community that the Trump presidency may end up undermining the decades of hard work that has been done to establish America’s global position. It would enable us to thicken our advisory efforts across the Afghanistan mission.” With US allies in no mood to step up to the plate, if Mr Trump heeds the general’s request this would mean that he will step back from the Jacksonian imperative that is running through the “Trumpies” that the US must disengage from its global role. If the US would require Pakistani assistance in myriad forms in Afghanistan then it obviously cannot and will not come down heavily on the terrorist infrastructure in that country and therefore the conventional American policy of paying lip service to Indian democracy while perpetuating an incestuous relationship with the Pakistani deep state will not only continue, but perhaps, intensify. If Mr Trump is indeed serious about “Make in America” and “America First” then this should translate into reshoring of American manufacturing facilities.
