Trump's speech was as if the DNA of Lindburgh and Coughlin were brought to life and recombined into a great Orange Monster. Imagine an alternate history where the America Firsters won the '36 or even '40 election. Except this time around we live in a world of warfare under high tech conditions, and the major players are all armed with WMD including thermonuclear devices.
If there's going to be a major nuclear war - say between China and India over Asia, or between Russia and the EU over Eurafrica - I for one would be happier staying out of it. Fortunately for us, we're the only nuclear power in the Americas.
