Trump's foreign policy blunders continue to haunt us

In a recent interview, Trump seems to be signaling that the path to peace is blocked by Russia, while the CIA is outright rejecting Putin's claims about a drone attack. This is rich coming from a former president who once praised Putin like a fanboy at a rock concert. It's almost as if he believes that cozying up to authoritarian regimes is the way to ensure global stability... Spoiler alert: it's not. The irony here is thick. Trump has consistently undermined American alliances and weakened our standing on the world stage, and now he's trying to play the role of a geopolitical sage. The man who once said he could solve everything with a tweet is now signaling that he’s somehow in the know about complex international relations. It's a classic case of 'do as I say, not as I did.' His administration's approach to foreign policy was riddled with contradictions and chaos, and now we see the repercussions. The fact that he still commands any sort of attention in these discussions is a testament to how far we've fallen. We need leaders who prioritize democracy and diplomacy, not those who treat international relations like a reality TV show. This matters because the stakes are higher than ever. The world is watching, and we can't afford to have a leader who thinks that appeasement equals strength. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/tag/donald-trump
