My single biggest issue with Trump in foreign affairs is the opaque motivation for his moves. We know he likes dictators more than democrats, so is this part of that paradigm? If not, then why now? He seems to have no interest in foreign affairs except for the photo ops they generate. On the other hand, Putin may be pushing this behind the scenes in the same way Putin and Erdogan pushed him to dump the Kurds and pull out of Syria. Or is this an impeachment counter ploy?
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
