The End of Pax Americana

Jonathan Last: “We cannot overstate what has just happened. It took just 71 days for Donald Trump to wreck the American economy, mortally wound NATO, and destroy the American-led world order.”

“He did this with the enthusiastic support of the entire Republican party and conservative movement.”

“He did it with the support of a plurality of American voters.”

“He did not hide his intentions. He campaigned on them. He made them the central thrust of his election. He told Americans that he would betray our allies and give up our leadership position in the world.”
