What's even in it for America? This is "Make Israel Great Again" politics.

Washington has brokered a peace deal that it’s very proud of and expects a Nobel Peace prize for if it holds. At this point, we’re dealing with one man’s ego more than any policy position of the United States.

Well let’s not forget the extrajudicial murders in international waters the US is currently performing.

Sure. Every one of the great powers is currently engaging in killings that are highly illegal under international law.

We’re pretty even to each other at this point. Threats of annexation, no rule of law, murder on the high seas, allegations of genocide.

The next series of horrors will emerge around robotics, lasers and potentially the collapse of free navigation of international waters. (I don’t see deëscalation until both Trump and Xi are dead.)
