Trump is a buffoon. He’s destroying the only alliance that matters for maintaining American hegemonic power. Without India, there isn’t a real competition with China. It’s also weird given he is softer on China than on India or many European countries. Almost as if he stands to benefit from being soft on China.

This focus on Russian oil also seems oddly hypocritical. Why is America buying things from authoritarian China? Where’s the outrage against that?
