So far in his second term, Donald Trump has focused chiefly on destroying democracy here at home. Except with respect to tariffs, the larger world generally—and Europe specifically—has been spared his depraved intercessions. That ends this week, when he meets Vladimir Putin in Alaska, and much like Hyman Roth and Michael Corleone in The Godfather, Part II, they start slicing up their little pieces of the Ukraine birthday cake.
When sober analysts of foreign policy start offering their sober foreign policy analyses, they typically have certain analytical and historical frameworks in mind—concepts like realpolitik and idealpolitik, or whether America’s approach to a given situation should be more Morgenthauesque or Niebuhrian. I still remember an old David Brooks column from 2007 when he was dazzled that Barack Obama not only knew who Reinhold Niebuhr was but could actually discuss his theories with subtlety. Pundits (yes, including me), having bothered to learn about all these notions, want desperately to employ them when the time comes.
