WORSE THAN I THOUGHT [IS THAT POSSIBLE?]

This story in the Washington Post is very troubling.  It seems the call with Taiwan wasn't a blunder but a deliberate and carefully planned move by the hard-right types pulling Trump's strings.  Those folks are smart, knowledgeable, and genuinely dangerous.  Their view, I suspect, is that America won the Cold War and now should be the world hegemon.  If you think current US foreign policy is bad [as I do], what is coming down the pike is horrifying.

    The fall of Roman democracy came with the rise of the empire, did it not?
    Very portentious

    Here is the BBC's write up on the above-mentioned twit's twitter tantrum. I can't fathom why the NYT, WaPo, etc. have not given this coverage.
