Ignorance, the root and stem of all evil

University of Chicago Professor John Mearsheimer: Trump's policies have undermined US authority on the international stage. "I think all of this will ultimately destroy Trump's presidency. I mean, he may remain in office for the rest of his term, but he's seriously damaged as a political figure. But it's important to understand where we stand on the world stage today. Even before this war began on February 28, the Trump administration had already inflicted enormous damage on the US's standing in the world, largely because the president, a staunch unilateralist*, was destroying international institutions with no regard for the rules on which they are founded. He ignored and disrespected international law and treated allies with outright contempt, especially Europeans. He even talked about invading Greenland."
