"It doesn’t seem to have occurred to the administration that spending the last several months going scorched earth on the rest of the world might make other countries the tiniest bit disinclined to deal with us."
We're the baddies now. Our new Security Strategy shows it.
It's a gift to the Kremlin and a middle finger to our erstwhile allies.

for a decade I have struggled to understand why Musk is rewarded, rather than destroyed, for unabated racism and misogyny

Will be nice for Austrians, Belgians, Hungarians and Slovaks to, for the rest of their lives, carry the shame of having been on Russia's side in its genocidal war against Ukraine. We remember few things as well as who did what and who supported who during a war.
Slovakia threatens to block the EU’s €210bn Ukraine loan days before the December summit.
PM Robert Fico says he will veto any funding tied to Ukraine’s military, invoking Trump’s peace efforts and rejecting last-minute compromises—putting Kyiv’s 2025 financing at risk.
