The IISS is a European political think tank whose recent report was reported on Radio Netherlands. The short is that the US and Europe are on a direct collision course over most disagreements as a direct consequence of this new right wing administration. Again, as it is always cited everywhere outside the US - George Jr's. global warming theories are top of the list for a major falling out between the US and Europe. We could be talking trade wars. Also listed is something that myopic, blood thirsty, right wing extremist, "bomb the into the stone age" hawks advocate. A need to conduct all future military campaignes without the approval of or support of any allies. The destruction of so many treaties that built the end of the Cold war was also cited.

Also cited by the report is an incoherent and ill conceived Asia foreign policy. Cited specifically is George Jr's mishandling of both China and N Korea.

We have the right wing extremists we deserve. It will be interesting how far this president can destroy foreign relations before he learns the names of a few world leaders.
