But the U.S. secretary of state, who also served as national security adviser, knew different when it came to dealing with major powers. His hero was the Austrian statesman Klemens von Metternich, who somehow brought together the unlikely combination of Austria, the United Kingdom, Prussia, Russia, and a number of even smaller allies and their incompatible leaders into the alliance that finally defeated Napoleon in 1815. As Kissinger understood, even lone rangers need friends.</p><p>It is an insight that appears to be lost on U.S. President <a href="https://www.foreignaffairs.com/topics/trump-administration" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Donald Trump</a>. Since returning to office in January, Trump has called the United States’ closest allies cheaters and freeloaders. Japan and other Asian trading partners, he insists, are “very spoiled”; immediate North American neighbors stand accused of exporting drugs and criminals. He freely and publicly labels the leaders of some of the United States’ most important democratic partners as has-beens, weak, or dishonest, while heaping praise on autocrats he finds easier to deal with, such as Hungarian President Viktor Orban (“a very great leader”), Salvadoran strongman Nayib Bukele (“a great friend”), North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un (“a smart guy”), and—at least until very recently—Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom he has called “a genius” and “very savvy” in attacking Ukraine.In what would have been unthinkable in previous administrations, including Trump’s first, the United States in February even sided against its own democratic allies and with Russia and other authoritarian states, such as North Korea and Belarus, in voting against a UN resolution that condemned Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and upheld the latter’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.</p><p>Perhaps most baffling, at a time when Washington is trying to contain <a href="https://www.foreignaffairs.com/regions/china" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">China</a> and shore up U.S. defenses in the Indo-Pacific, the administration is preparing punitive tariffs on South Korea and Japan, the United States’ closest Asian allies, as well as on a sweeping list of European partners it is trying to keep away from Beijing. U.S. allies around the world are also rattled by the public musings of Trump and members of his cabinet that the so-called nuclear umbrella under which the American nuclear deterrent was a guarantee for their defense is no longer a sure thing. Such is now the level of doubt that in July, France and the United Kingdom announced a new agreement to begin providing extended nuclear deterrence in Europe for themselves, and allies such as South Korea, Poland, and even Japan have begun to contemplate acquiring their own nuclear weapons.</p><p><strong><em>Editor’s Note: Read the rest of the story, at the below link.</em></strong></p><blockquote></blockquote><p>Continue/Read Original Article Here: <em><a href="https://www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/making-america-alone-again-alliances-margaret-macmillan" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Making America Alone Again: History Offers Few Parallels for Washington’s Repudiation of Its Own Alliances</a></em></p> <p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/alliances/" target="_blank">#Alliances</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/donald-trump/" target="_blank">#DonaldTrump</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/foreign-affairs/" target="_blank">#ForeignAffairs</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/health/" target="_blank">#Health</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/history/" target="_blank">#History</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/isolationism/" target="_blank">#Isolationism</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/libraries/" target="_blank">#Libraries</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/library-of-congress/" target="_blank">#LibraryOfCongress</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/national-security/" target="_blank">#NationalSecurity</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/politics/" target="_blank">#Politics</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/resistance/" target="_blank">#Resistance</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/science/" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/trump/" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/trump-administration/" target="_blank">#TrumpAdministration</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/united-states/" target="_blank">#UnitedStates</a></p>

I am sure they are. Trump is trying to distract all of us, but particularly his base, by throwing stuff out, calling for the renaming of football teams and other stupid ideas. Trump is hoping his base is will be lured away.</p><p>Here is a NY Times article which is very informative on <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/19/us/politics/inside-trump-epstein-friendship.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Epstein and Trump</a>, I highly recommend it. An Epstein accuser <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jul/21/jeffrey-epstein-maria-farmer-trump" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">told the FBI years ago to look into Trump </a>for behavior she witnessed. Maria Farmer was among the first women to report Epstein sexual crimes back in 1996 when, according to a new interview with the Times, she also identified Trump among others close to Epstein as worthy of attention. I know more will come out.</p><p>In the meantime:</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jul/21/democrats-texas-republicans-maps" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Republicans are attempting to redraw</a> the voting map for Texas as the state is recovering from the devastating floods.</p><p><em>“It is more than redistricting. It’s really theft,” </em>said Democratic representative Al Green, whose Houston-area congressional district is likely to be one targeted by Republicans in a redrawn map. <em>“It’s the kind of election theft that you use when you realize that you can’t win playing with the hand that you’ve been dealt. So, you decide that you’ll just rearrange the cards so that they favor you.”</em></p><p>Opponents of redistricting launched a website, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jul/21/StopTheTexasSteal.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">StopTheTexasSteal.com</a>, which accuses the Republican majority of using the flooding for partisan gain and is raising money.</p><p>Trump is eyeing other states for <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/07/21/trump-2026-midterms-congress-control" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">possible redistricting.</a></p><p>Trump is laser focused on the races for 2026. He is using money to fund Republican candidates and looking to recruit new ones. The administration is traveling to key battleground states to try to sell (and lie about) his recent bill, which is <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/07/21/trump-2026-midterms-congress-control" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">very unpopular at the moment, even with his base.</a></p><p>He is promoting those candidates who he thinks will win <em>and</em> do his bidding, and punishing those members of the GOP who have crossed him.</p><p>Is this a distraction, as well as a horrific implementation of Project 2025?

Kaplan works on a contract basis as a website administrator at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and was speaking on her own behalf and not that of her employer or of NASA.</p><p>Kaplan says she does not expect Duffy to read the document or to care much about it if he does. When Duffy ran for a seat in the US Congress more than a decade ago, he released a campaign advertisement that featured him wearing lumberjack clothing and saying he would bring his axe to “topple the big spending in Washington”.</p><p>The agency is not interested in sustaining “lower-priority missions”, said NASA spokeswoman Bethany Stevens. “We must revisit what’s working and what’s not so that we can inspire the American people again and win the space race.”</p><p><strong><em>Editor’s Note: Read the rest of the story, at the below link.</em></strong></p><blockquote></blockquote><p>Continue/Read Original Article Here: <em><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-02296-1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">‘We dissent’: NASA staff declare opposition to Trump cuts</a></em></p> <p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/america/" target="_blank">#America</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/donald-trump/" target="_blank">#DonaldTrump</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/health/" target="_blank">#Health</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/history/" target="_blank">#History</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/libraries/" target="_blank">#Libraries</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/library-of-congress/" target="_blank">#LibraryOfCongress</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/nasa/" target="_blank">#NASA</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/politics/" target="_blank">#Politics</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/resistance/" target="_blank">#Resistance</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/science/" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/technology/" target="_blank">#Technology</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/trump/" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/trump-administration/" target="_blank">#TrumpAdministration</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/united-states/" target="_blank">#UnitedStates</a></p>
