That sounds like a brilliant idea. First get all your bases in the Middle East destroyed, then pull out of Europe. And there goes your global power projection.

its like a Russian foreign policy whitepaper writ large

Khrushchev could only dream of such actions

		I suspect Khrushchev was far too sensible to have dreamt of that - he'd have worried about the chaos the sudden American collapse would have unleashed.

Yeah this is why none of this is really happening. The US bases in Europe cannot be replaced.

To my knowledge Ramstein has never been hit by a suicide terrorist or drone.

		Thinking that no sane person would do it doesn't seem like standing on the solid ground that it used to be.

Trump should have a street named after him in Moscow. Any Russian asset, historical or present, achieving a tenth of what he has done would had been granted legendary status in Russia. If he is not a Russian asset texting Putin in the middle of the night, then is the most useful tool in the human history.

The seeds of this decline were planted by Reagan (Heritage foundation was not created yesterday) but nobody before has achieved this level of damage inflicted upon USA in so few months. Is impressive if we think about if.
