Excerpt from Big Think -- "I think American foreign policy is in the critical state that it is in part because the Americans are less interested in playing the role that we have historically. Some of that is 3 trillion dollars in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that were seen to be very, very badly managed. Part of it is an energy revolution and a food revolution that means that ... we don't depend economically on other parts of the world, unstable parts of the world the way we used to. A part of it is the United States with... tools of power, like cyber surveillance, drones, the weaponization of finance... All of those policies don't require a lot of coordination with allies."
