“Donald Trump took to the stage at Davos yesterday and made clear what keen observers of American politics already knew: the old order is dead. This past week, international relations experts like Robert Kagan and Paul Musgrave and commentators like Jonathan V. Last have all detailed how Donald Trump’s aggression against Greenland, use of unilateral military action, and repeated rebukes of our global allies have finally brought an end to the post-war international order that sustained American power for eighty years. NATO has been rendered little more than a walking corpse. The same can be said domestically, particularly as Trump has applied federal power on American citizens in ways unseen in modern history. Nothing is as it was.” (01/22/26)
