 https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/12/19/how-trump-changed-my-country/

US to be a potential adversary.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

The Mexican government and banks have the money.
They just don't seem to want to return it to the workers.
It's important to Americans because bracero labor played
an important part in World War II.

All bets are off.

Europeans are realizing that even if a non-Trumpist is
elected in 2020, another Trumpist might come along in 2024
or 2028, and they can't plan on the basis of a traditional
consistent bipartisan American foreign policy.

Want to do something about Mexican drug cartels?

Stop Americans from buying drugs from Mexicans, and stop
Americans from selling guns to Mexicans.  No foreign
intervention required.       And a wall won't help.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/03/opinion/trump-mexico-drugs-terrorism.html

Scotland the Brave.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/27/world/europe/uk-general-election-scotland.html

Does Putin prefer Scotland part of UK or part of EU?
Of course his first choice would be Scotland completely
independent of everybody - and weak.      Putin generally
favors independence and separatist movements that weaken
established nations.

Another reversal reversed.

But will it stick?       The Afghan leadership has
certainly figured out how to talk to Trump.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-makes-surprise-visit-to-us-troops-in-afghanistan/2019/11/28/7fe71f2a-11e8-11ea-bf62-eadd5d11f559_story.html

Visualize progress and maybe it will happen?     Or at
least a photo op?

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/trumps-talk-of-afghanistan-cease-fire-appears-to-surprise-the-taliban-afghan-government/2019/11/29/3a661a34-12d1-11ea-b0fc-62cc38411ebb_story.html

"we suffered from a mismatch between our stated
objectives and the means we were prepared to employ to
achieve them - in Libya, Syria, Ukraine and, arguably,
Afghanistan" - Susan Rice, a National Security Advisor
for Obama.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/susan-rices-memoir-prompts-nostalgia-for-the-obama-years/2019/11/27/833a2c66-1153-11ea-9cd7-a1becbc82f5e_story.html

How will Trump remedy those mistakes?      He can't
"win" AND bring the troops home now.       It's
one or the other.

==

And what about North Korea?      Kim has also figured
out how to push Trump's buttons.         But Trump can't
defeat Kim in any sense by reducing our commitments to
our allies.         By the latter Trump once again does
the bidding of our enemies.

Another win for Putin!

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/18/world/europe/johnson-brexit-uk-fracture.html

A possible upside is that after they get used to the idea,
the people in Northern Ireland will see union with the
Republic as a relief rather than a disaster.

Is the rule of law important?

Putin doesn't think so.     On the other hand,
he and others like him around the world find
"corruption" and "terrorism" to be
useful charges against political opponents.    If he
tried to explain that to Trump in one of their private
meetings, he probably discovered that Trump, in his great
and unmatched wisdom, had already figured it out.

The media pretty much overlooked Trump's UN speech today.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-touts-nationalistic-view-of-foreign-affairs-at-un/2019/09/24/e4a8486a-ded2-11e9-8fd3-d943b4ed57e0_story.html

He obviously didn't write it but it was a good summary of
the attitudes of the original America Firsters up through
December 6, 1941.

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Lindbergh

Amazing how the pre-Pearl Harbor Lindbergh sounds just
like Trump sounds now.   The next day the America Firsters
discovered that the world is indeed connected, America is
not protected by oceans, and what happens anywhere affects
everybody everywhere.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2019/09/25/new-un-climate-report-massive-change-already-here-worlds-oceans-frozen-regions/

That discovery was the basis of the relatively peaceful
70 years after 1945.        Trump is doing his best to
undo that regime, but he keeps getting distracted by
domestic issues.     Did he get any applause at the UN?
Probably nobody laughed this time.

Meanwhile, you can't get from one end of the Bay Area
to the other without dealing with many uncoordinated  Me
First transit districts.       Everybody would be better
off if they thought more widely.

Yemen = Afghanistan + Iraq + Vietnam?

Do we really want to get involved in another land war
in Asia?

Persians and Arabs have been contending for supremacy
since before the Hebrew scriptures were written down.
It's an ethnic battle plus a political battle (Iran vs
Saudi Arabia) plus a religious battle (Shiite vs Sunni).

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/09/18/saudi-iran-rivalry-isnt-new-its-getting-riskier-by-hour/

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/15/world/middleeast/iran-us-saudi-arabia-attack.html

Looking at Yemen - which side is the one that aligns with
America's ideals?     Neither.      Looking at Iran vs
Saudi Arabia?   Neither.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/16/opinion/iran-saudi-arabia.html

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/18/opinion/iran-saudi.html

The Israelis have a preference but that might change and
in any case Netanyahu is not the Israeli politician that
should be leading the US into confrontation.

Trump wants a simple fight he and his base can understand
- good guys and bad guys with a quick decisive permanent
defeat of the bad guys, just in time before the election.
It didn't work in Afghanistan or Iraq or Syria.  There's
just an array of bad guys, some worse than others, in
ever-shifting constellations of alliances, but none of
the guys with military forces are interested in American
democratic ideals.       Of course, neither is Trump.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/09/15/mideast-is-tinderbox-trump-has-aggravated-crisis/

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/19/opinion/saudi-arabia-attack.html

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/19/world/middleeast/saudi-iran-attack-oil.html

Intervening is hazardous.     Not intervening is
hazardous -

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/19/opinion/trump-iran.html

But that's what makes a decision presidential - there
are only bad choices, and the president has to decide on
the least bad choice and take the blame.    There is no
glory in making the least bad choice.   There's hope in
incompetence -

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/09/16/can-this-president-be-trusted-prevent-spiral-into-war/

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/09/17/how-trump-played-himself-gave-irans-hard-liners-what-they-wanted/

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/the-escalating-crisis-with-iran-is-trumps-self-inflicted-wound/2019/09/19/b7edb4c8-db16-11e9-a688-303693fb4b0b_story.html

Iranians and Saudis alike know that Trump is constrained
in a way that they are not - by an election in 14 months.
Gas prices in a local cheapie gas station went up 11 cents
between morning and afternoon today.     This is not a
good background to be running for a second term.

Except we have been in Afghanistan longer, so an honorable

The new feudalism.

The democratization of technology means that everybody
can get the same weapons.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/14/world/middleeast/saudi-arabia-refineries-drone-attack.html

That makes it impossible to defend a large area against a
vaporous insurgency - they always strike where the defenses
are weakest.       Civilians have to accept, and pay for,
the protection of modern robber barons.       When so many
young men are idle, willing recruits are plentiful.  And if
not, unwilling recruits can be impressed into service.

What happens to a little country surrounded by much larger

What if none of those powers care about any higher goal
than national self-interest?

You can read all about it in the Hebrew scriptures.

Iran's secret weapon is the same as China's - Trump's
re-election campaign.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/29/world/middleeast/iran-trump-talks.html

But as with China, Trump would have to accept
Iranian concessions without bragging publicly that he
"won."     That's hard to imagine.

What does Trump like about Putin, Xi, Kim?     So what do
Assad and Maduro lack?

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/what-does-trump-see-in-putin-anyway/2019/08/27/a474f73c-c8f4-11e9-a4f3-c081a126de70_story.html

The only certainty is that Trump doesn't want any
information released about his finances.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/08/28/clock-is-ticking-trumps-tax-returns/

Republicans and Democrats seem to agree that if he's
trying that hard to hide his finances, it's because he
has something that's important to hide.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/28/business/deutsche-bank-trump.html

Of course the lack of real news makes it easier to
propagate news that might be fake -

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2019/08/28/msnbc-host-retracts-blockbuster-trump-russia-story-trump-had-threatened-sue-him/

But Trump the birther conspiracist is hardly in a position
to complain if other people make up stories that sound
plausible to them.

It's a tough time to be president of Ukraine.

Even for a comedian, there's not much to laugh about.
How do you maintain correct relations with both the current
American administration and whatever the next might be?

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/21/us/politics/giuliani-ukraine.html

And you have to deal with Rudy Giuliani, who might, or
might not, be representing the USA, or Trump, or just
hiimself.

What happens in future depends on the circumstances.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/21/world/asia/india-pakistan-kashmir-imran-khan.html

Trump offers to mediate.     No need for Modi to respond;
his thinking is so much like Trump's that he feels no
restraints on whatever he can get away with.

Pakistan is not without leverage, though.       They get
to decide what happens in Afghanistan if the US evacuates
as Trump has promised.

Will this become the first two-sided nuclear war?

Tariffs?    It's really world power.

Trump is driving away all our traditional allies.     Xi is
trying to buy new friends around the world.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/06/opinion/trump-china-trade.html

If we continue backing ourselves into corners, the social
media "my country right or wrong" extremists in
both countries will usher in an unpleasant future for the
whole world.     Facts don't matter to them.

The Kurds shouldn't expect gratitude from anybody -
they've never gotten it in the past.     Their geopolitical
position has always been untenable and unsupportable.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/instead-of-thanks-a-critical-us-ally-faces-only-more-threats/2019/07/25/c3ff6786-af04-11e9-a0c9-6d2d7818f3da_story.html

And it doesn't look like they'll get anything from the
Trump administration in return for defeating ISIS.

How to win friends and influence nations.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/07/23/trumps-ignorance-was-full-display-his-meeting-with-imran-khan/

Anything the US says about Kashmir makes matters worse.
Everybody knows that the cease-fire line is the permanent
boundary between nuclear powers.  But no Indian or
Pakistani politician has ever been strong enough to dare
to admit that in public.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/i-just-dont-want-to-kill-10-million-people-trumps-comments-reverberate-in-afghanistan/2019/07/23/88e8d15e-ad0c-11e9-b071-94a3f4d59021_story.html

Getting out of Asian land wars is a good idea.    But if
that were possible without making things worse, it would
have already happened.

Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere reborn

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/06/27/chinas-efforts-undermine-democracy-are-expanding-worldwide/

Except now the capital is Beijing.

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_East_Asia_Co-Prosperity_Sphere

While Putin is mainly interested in hindering governments
which oppose him, China is targeting the entire third
world of weak democracies and corrupt governments, even
friendly ones.

Did he read the position description?

There are lower pay grades to make easy decisions and
solve easy crises.

They pass the buck if it's too difficult for their pay
grade.  The buck stops on the president's desk, and there
are no easy decisions.     No matter what the president
does or doesn't do, there's going to be intensely negative
pushback from somebody.

Complicated problems have complicated solutions, if they
have any solutions at all.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/06/17/buttigieg-shows-solid-judgment-key-issues/

But do voters reward intellectual integrity?  "Is
everybody in here getting this?"

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/17/magazine/elizabeth-warren-president.html

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/16/opinion/elizabeth-warren-dollar.html

Simple solutions work best on the campaign trail.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/06/16/danger-tom-cotton/

Often it's a good thing that politicians can't or won't
carry out their campaign promises.

Be careful what you wish for!

Haven't we learned by now that overthrowing a corrupt
dictatorship does not necessarily lead to an improvement?

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/02/world/americas/venezuela-coup.html

Especially if we act militarily without coordinating with
all the other players in the region.

Sanctions on Iranian oil couldn't possibly affect gasoline
prices, could they?

Maybe Trump can issue an executive order to OPEC.
Or to Saudi Arabia -   NO PRICE INCREASES UNTIL AFTER
THE ELECTION!!

No political leader is going to make a deal that leads
to his downfall, no matter what.      Trump wouldn't.
Why  would he  expect anybody else to?

Wealth inequality and, worse, opportunity inequality are
even more dangerous between nations than within nations.
There's always a populist politician eager to explain that
all the problems are caused by the bad people.

Was this a joke?

No - it's serious.    After a generation of peace, the
major powers of Europe, and smaller countries as well,
consider warfare no longer unthinkable.     We can thank
Putin and his fellow travelers for that.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2019/04/12/switzerland-wants-declare-coffee-non-essential-human-survival-real-story-is-even-more-dire

But even without Putin, there might be a billion refugees
by 2050 -

 https://reliefweb.int/report/world/climate-migrants-might-reach-one-billion-2050

Or maybe that's just environmental scare tactics and there
will really only be 100 million refugees that nobody wants
and have no place to go.

using 21st century technology for social control

No peace anywhere without peace in Kashmir.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/07/opinion/kashmir-india-pakistan-nuclear.html

There is probably no resolution in Afghanistan, for
instance, until there is a resolution in Kashmir:

 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/22/opinion/india-afghanistan-pakistan.html

But Kashmir is unresolvable by the US and probably by
anybody: supposedly a State Dept veteran interviewed new
college grad job applicants by asking  what they'd do
about Kashmir - and the only correct answer was silence.
If they said anything at all, they failed that test.

To solve refractory problems like these requires a
rare coincidence: leaders on both sides have to WANT
a solution, and they must have the political capital
to negotiate a solution even against their own muscular
internal opposition.     The current leaders of India and
Pakistan do not want a solution.  The net result is that
no third party can negotiate a solution for them.

But now, God knows, anything goes.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/05/opinion/trump-netanyahu.html

But you can't count on that, because tomorrow it might be
the opposite.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/i-think-you-mean-that-too-trumps-aides-struggle-to-defend-explain-his-foreign-policy-statements/2019/03/05/b196149c-3ea1-11e9-9361-301ffb5bd5e6_story.html

So lavish him with praise and a big photo-op and then you
can probably do whatever you want.

The new edition of Art of the Deal - subtitled Getting
Something for Nothing.

 https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/03/us-south-korea-end-spring-military-drills-to-back-diplomacy.html

No wonder the North Koreans were satisfied with the summit.
Sometimes personal diplomacy just isn't enough.

 https://www.philly.com/opinion/trump-kim-vietnam-summit-north-korea-collapse-20190228.html

Or maybe it was all Michael Cohen's fault.    Or the
Democrats.

Or maybe Trump just doesn't get what it takes to run an
unmitigated dictatorship.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/trumps-flat-out-failure-in-vietnam/2019/03/01/980305f8-3ab4-11e9-a06c-3ec8ed509d15_story.html

And why are the strategies for the same goals in North
Korea and Iran so different?

Now all politics is personal?

Why is Trump, who heretofore never met an authoritarian
kleptocratic populist strongman he didn't like, so down
on Maduro?

Apparently due to the influence of some of his Florida
golfing buddies.     Even so, give him credit for doing the
right thing about economic sanctions in conjunction with
our allies,  even if for the wrong reasons.       Military
intervention would be a step too far, and hinting that it's
possible is a step too far too, that weakens his  and our
credibility in the future.

A familiar story in the graveyard of empires -

echoes of Vietnam in 1973 and Afghanistan in 1989.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/02/sunday-review/war-vietnam-afghanistan-withdrawal.html

Trump is right about one thing - if we are just going
to give up, admit defeat, and go home sooner or later,
then the sooner the better.   Trump is wrong in thinking
that abandoning Afghanistan can be spun as anything other
than defeat.

What happens if Maduro falls?

What happens if he doesn't fall?    American intervention
has a very good track record - at making things worse.
Especially under Republican presidents who aren't able
to get Congress to invest the 90% of the cost that comes
after the intervention.

How empires get sucked into the graveyard of empires

The Afghan experience led to the breakup of the Soviet

Who decides how to avoid the next Balkan war?

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/28/opinion/russia-eu-balkans.html

It's a tough nut to crack - like Afghanistan and the
Caucasus and other poor mountainous regions.

Muslim politicians aren't so different from ours.

They can be flexible about theology when the price
is right.      And accept that the enemy of my enemy is
my friend.

Time to disentangle from the graveyard of empires?

Could Trump be right about the strategy even though wrong
about the tactics?

To see what outsiders are up against, one could do worse
than read this book -

The future of Taiwan decided by whom and how?

Taiwan is vastly more significant than the Falkland
Islands, yet it's possible to imagine repeating the history
of two governments talking themselves into corners that
lead to war, to avoid falling to their domestic opposition.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/xi-offers-promises-and-threats-as-he-calls-chinas-unification-with-taiwan-inevitable/2019/01/02/85ae5ece-0e82-11e9-92b8-6dd99e2d80e1_story.html

The people of Hong Kong, Tibetans, and Uyghurs could all
testify about how semi-autonomy works out in the PRC.

It might have been better if Nixon had clearly enunciated
that recognition of the PRC did not diminish Taiwan -
which like the PRC and the USA established its current
government by force of arms, but unlike the PRC, maintains
its legitimacy by free contested elections and so has
the same rights of self-determination as other sovereign
nations.     But that didn't happen.     But the subsequent
economic opening of China and its integration into the
global economic infrastructure might be the best deterrent
to a forceful confrontation.

Xi probably senses a historic opportunity to resolve the
Taiwan question once and for all on his terms, while the
US is distracted by internal politics and an incompetent
administration.
