When the captain has no compass, the crew starts fighting over nautical charts and the rudder. So it is with the United States, which now has several foreign policies rather than one, as factions inside Donald Trump’s White House wrestle over how to deal with Russia and Ukraine, as well as Venezuela and much else. The primary victim is Ukraine, which must fear for not only its sovereignty but its “dignity.” The collateral damage is the world.
The rudderlessness and infighting became clear again with the emergence last week of what was billed as an American “28-point peace plan” for Ukraine (since reduced to 19 items), but instead became 28 points of embarrassment.
