I am looking forward to the fight to the death between Vance and Musk for the control of tDrumpf and to be his eventual successor. Vance will 25 him to beat Musk to the punch.
A nice overview, I think, although you might have given some consideration to the "special", more or less, case of Iran, where Trump seems to carry a particular grudge, which could be helped along by pressure from the Saudis and the Israelis. Back in 2016, I wrote a piece for my blog, "The Eighteenth Brumaire of Donald Trump". Trump certainly won't rebuild Washington, DC the way Napoleon III rebuilt Paris, but he might lose a war and create a revolution. Thanks to Trump, Mitch McConnell, Mike Johnson, and, especially, John Roberts, we no longer have a Constitution. I definitely think we will have a new one sometime within the next 50 years.
Do they not have editors at Foreign Policy? You might want to correct this: "First, Trump will come into office with a more homogeneous national security team than he had in 2025. Second, the state of the world in 2025 is rather different than it was in 2017. And third, foreign actors will have a much better read of Donald Trump."
Europe now has to get serious about operating in a world where not only can they no longer rely on America as a solid ally, the real possibility of an America that no longer shares their values will be operating on the world scene in a way that if not a full fledged enemy, is a country that is closer to that than it is to the protector it has been
Also the huge problem is that Korea and Japan almost certainly will, while countries like Germany, Australia and Canada will start considering whether they need their own nuclear weapons as the US nuclear umbrella can no longer be relied on to protect them

This is scary for us in the defense and security sectors.

Whoops! Thanks for the catch, will have them copy-edit that. It's already fixed in this post.
P.S. It's Foreign Affairs, not Foreign Policy -- all too easy to make that mistake.

I guess it’s a whole new level but the other level was nevertheless grotesque. Though I guess there’s nothing worse than direct bribes.
That assumes it had a beginning. It frankly never existed
