President Donald Trump\u2019s\u00a0recent statement<\/a>\u00a0on the Jamal Khashoggi killing by Saudi Arabia\u2019s Crown Prince might well be considered a metaphor for his foreign policy. Several commentators have suggested that the text appears to be something that Trump wrote himself without any adult supervision, similar to the poorly expressed random arguments presented in his tweeting only longer. That might be the case, but it would not be wise to dismiss the document as merely frivolous or misguided as it does in reality express the kind of thinking that has produced a foreign policy that seems to drift randomly to no real end, a kind of leaderless creative destruction of the United States as a world power.<\/p>\n

Lord Palmerston, Prime Minister of Britain in the mid nineteenth century, famously said that \u201cNations have no permanent friends or allies, they only have permanent interests.\u201dThe United States currently has neither real friends nor any clearly defined interests. It is, however, infested with parasites that have convinced an at-drift America that their causes are identical to the interests of the United States. Leading the charge to reduce the U.S. to \u201cbitch\u201d status, as Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard\u00a0has artfully put it<\/a>, are Israel and Saudi Arabia, but there are many other countries, alliances and advocacy groups that have learned how to subvert and direct the \u201cleader of the free world.\u201d<\/p>\n
