Just read a neswaper article by the acclaimed historian Herfried Münkler who refers back to Joseph Nye's politics of soft power (read Nye!!), and his conclusion is grim: The more successful Trump is, the more America's soft power will dissolve, a process that cannot be reversed. The outcome, says Münkler, will be the end of "the West" that has once been created by the US. The American Century: 1917 (the US enters WWI) - 2017?
Redwritinghood A lot of us see this happening, but the division he has helped create makes it hard to change the course. So frustrating! 7y
MeikeReads @Redwritinghood I have not yet abandoned all hope- I know that the US is so much more than Trump and full of wonderful people. I hope this insanity will end soon! 7y
