Two months into the second Trump administration what can we make of its aspirations for the next four years and the four to follow? Is the battering of the Constitution seen so far to expand from assaults on the 1st and 4th Amendments to perhaps the 5th and Heaven help us, the 2nd? Will the table-flipping, chair-strewing diplomatic performance exhibited towards allies like Panama, Canada, Denmark, Ukraine, and the European Union be visited too upon America's friends in Asia, Latin America, and Africa? And what does Trump's continuity of agenda mean for the Gaza genocide and more wars in the Middle East?
Dr. Christopher Mott is a Washington Fellow at the Institute for Peace and Diplomacy who formerly was placed at the US Department of State and Defense Priorities. His work now he says focuses on, "… historical geopolitics, grand strategy, and the intersection of defensive realism and conceptions of sovereignty in an era of increasing multi-polarity."
Chris' book, ‘The Formless Empire: A Short History of Diplomacy and Warfare in Central Asia’, traces the historical "…rise of indigenous forms of geopolitical strategy on the Eurasian steppe," and his articles appear at the Institute for Peace and Diplomacy's PeaceDiplomacy.org, The American Conservative, and at his site, GeoTrickster.com.
