The presidents disregard or disdain for established US foreign policy has alarmed enemies and allies and got experts nervously shortening the odds on a major warThe Trump effect on international relations is likely to be studied for generations to come, but first we have to survive it. With the presidency sliding towards two major conflicts, that is no foregone conclusion.Experts on nuclear weapons and the institutionalised madness of mutually assured destruction, are increasingly making nervous jokes about living outside the blast radius in Washington DC and not bothering to buy wines that age well.

The Republican partys radicalised base is ingrained in the US and will outlast Trump. The sooner we realise this, the sooner we can find a way to beat itThe author Tom Wolfe once wrote: The dark night of fascism is always descending in the United States and yet lands only in Europe. He was reflecting a consensus, shared by public and scholars alike, that far right politics is a European phenomenon, at odds with American values. It is a conviction so deeply held that it has left the US blind to reality.Any example of far-right politics is explained away as exceptional, not representative of the real America, from lone wolf terrorists such as the Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh to the rise of Trumpism.Calling the far right ‘un-American’ might make for good politics, but it expresses a blatant lack of historical understanding Related: Trump, Putin and Xi: a year of tough-guy leaders and foolish brinkmanship |
