Attempts to revive the Quad won’t succeed in the foreseeable future because of a fundamental shift in the Trump admin’s policy: from containing China to appeasing it and from courting India to containing it.

Containing India?
You are probably being too generous in implying that India is worth 'containing'. Already, its servility to the USA is all too obvious, e.g., its requests for a US waiver to buy Russian and Iranian oil.

's India now reminds me of Australia, which masochistically remains saddled with the role of #USA's #DeputySheriff.

Indian in Persia
Indeed! On what grounds was #Usha's inclusion justified, unless, of course, it is assumed that because of her Indian ancestry, she fulfilled an advisory role on #Persia, now that #FoggyBottom has been denuded of professional diplomats with Middle East expertise.
#Nepotist politicians elsewhere now have a ready retort to charges of nepotistic behaviour.

America at War
Come, come, now. This fellow should instead be commended for telling the truth about #USforeignpolicy in four words. #America has enjoyed peace for only 17 years in its 250-year history. As Jimmy Carter observed, "America is the most warlike nation in the history of the world."

America at War
Or so ignorant of the need for Allies. Apart from the wars with Mexico (1848) and Spain (1898), America has never fought international wars - lost or won - without a coalition or without significant foreign support.

Toxic Fusion: Evangelism+Zionism
It is extraordinary, is it not, that at no time has the Iranian Foreign Minister or other spokesmen evoked Allah or Islam or divinity in their public pronouncements? This (un)Christian Evangelical diatribe, matching those from the #ZionistCult zealots, provides a startling contrast with calm and collected presentations of their case by the Iranians.

America, the Warmonger
A brilliant and precise summation of underlying truths about #USforeignpolicy since the 1990s.
As I have noted elsewhere:
The #US has enjoyed only 16 years of peace in its 250-year history, making it, as Jimmy Carter observed, "the most warlike nation in the history of the world."
Since 2001, the US has spent over $7 trillion on military operations, money that might have been invested at home in such sectors as infrastructure. In this context, it is estimated that #China now pours more cement every three years than America did in the entire 20th century.

USA to Colonise Arctic Penguins
Last year, #Trump imposed 10% tariff on the #AustralianExternalTerritory of #HeardMcDonaldIslands, part of a chain of barren #Antarctic islands. Penguins are the majority inhabitants and have refused to pay any tariffs to the US.
No wonder, in a retributive action, #America is now looking to @Greenlandish pastures in the Arctic to punish the #Penguins .
Unfortunately, the @WhiteHouse is obviously unaware of one problem: There are no penguins in the #Arctic or Greenland. Penguins are native exclusively to the Southern Hemisphere, primarily around Antarctica and sub-Antarctic regions, where they have evolved without major land predators like those in the north.
God Bless America! Ignorance is bliss; it saves the megalomaniac and imbecilic Orange Buffoon and his apparatchiks much time from having to think.

Trump's Desire - Iranian Oil
Thank you for this. If history is not repeating itself, it is certainly rhyming with the events of 1953.
It is inconceivable that #Trump is seeking to bring democracy to #Iran. Or wants to 'protect' anti-Mullah protestors unless, of course, this visceral Muslim-hater Orange Buffoon does not realise that "Persians" are Muslim!!
More realistically, he has probably reached a deal with the American puppet #Pahlvi (an American citizen) to install him as Iran's dictator - as the #US did with his father, #ShahPahlvi - in return for Iranian oil rights in one form or the other.

The important part to note here is Taiwan.
Taiwan is vital to the Western world and if China takes it they could cripple our countries overnight. No one can match TSMC's knowledge of semiconductors. They also produce over half of the worlds advanced semiconductors.

End of Hypocrisy?
The latest US national security formulations cast aside the post-war mantra of America and its Western allies, championing democracy and upholding a “rules-based international order. For decades, Western governments have echoed this ideological refrain, aligning themselves with Washington’s moral script. Now, they face the task of crafting a policy architecture that is less doctrinaire and more pragmatic. That is no bad thing. For too long, the wand of “Democracy” has been wielded to till the soil of the 2nd and 3rd world, cultivating playing fields that largely yield political and economic benefits for Western nations themselves.

U.S. National Strategy - Seriously?
If there is anything that negates the rosy self-assessment by WH/Foggy Bottom, it is encapsulated by the patent nonsense about the state of the #USsoftpower:
"America retains tremendous assets—the world’s strongest economy and military, world-beating innovation, unrivaled “soft power,” and a historic record of benefiting our allies and partners—that enable us to compete successfully. President Trump is building alliances and strengthening partnerships in the IndoPacific that will be the bedrock of security and prosperity long into the future."
