598: Did Donald Trump destroy the post-Cold-War world order or reset it in America’s favor?

The boys drink and review some homebrewed porter, then ask if Trump is resetting the entire global order. Many people believe the international system built after 1991 has become unsustainable, unfair, and disconnected from American interests. Trump is trying to reset it from an America First perspective. * The old world order depended on American sacrifice without reciprocity* Trump replaced globalism with a more nationalist, power-based approach* Trump has been pressuring NATO allies to strengthen the alliance and make Europe step up * We've seen a shift from engagement with China to strategic competition* Trump believes foreign policy should answer to American interests, not international institutionsTrump has moved the U.S. from a system where America carried the burden for everyone else to one based on leverage, sovereignty, and shared responsibility. Critics see the same actions as reckless disruption.If you’re interested in foreign policy, the future of the world order, or the debate over nationalism vs globalism, this discussion lays out the logic behind one of the most controversial shifts in modern American politics.📬 Send us your thoughts: [email protected] 🌐 More episodes: pigweedandcrowhill.com👍 Like, subscribe, and tell a friend
