I am so confused. Do we have a foreign policy?

Am I just dumb or us our foreign policy just a scrambled up mess?

Which sanctions are in place for who? Are the sanctions against N. Korea still in place? What about China? Are those gone now?

John Bolton just threatened Europe. Huh?

Did the sanctions against Russia ever happen? Are we just ignoring those now?

And our sanctions against Iran? Those are helping Russia?

Good God.

it's too large for one administration to fuck up in 4 years. But, having said that, that administration can certainly cripple it and kill 10s of thousands of people in the process.

version with 25% more confusion. Or just stay tuned, Trump will likely announce a totally different foreign policy at anytime.

Its all foreign to him, unless they pay him off. That;s the only thing he knows, or wants to know. What's in it for himself.
