    Is this that “reigning in of empire” or whatever that that post was talking about a few days ago?

      The empire is simultaneously retracting and over extending itself, because Trump is a button masher who doesn’t have any respect for the game. It’s fascinating, but a lot of people are going to suffer and die because of it

      I don’t think anyone for a moment thought that the US ditching some vassals would include Israel.

      But, I’m starting to think that a lot of the foreign policy of the second Trump administration is rhetoric/bluster. I think the actual/lasting changes will primarily be domestic.
