- ABC News, billionaires, media orgs, and CEOs are surrendering to Trump because they think he's a lame duck. They're making a terrible mistake.
The article from The Bulwark, titled "Weakness is a Provocation," discusses the implications of perceived weakness in international relations, particularly focusing on the U.S. response to global challenges. It argues that when the United States projects weakness or hesitancy, it inadvertently encourages adversaries to act more aggressively. The piece highlights several instances where U.S. policy or lack of decisive action has potentially emboldened nations like Russia, China, and Iran. It critiques the Biden administration's approach to foreign policy, suggesting that a lack of strong, consistent leadership and clear strategic communication can lead to increased global instability. The author posits that strength, not just in military terms but also in diplomatic resolve and moral clarity, is essential to deter aggression and maintain international order. The article calls for a reassessment of U.S. foreign policy to project strength and reliability to both allies and adversaries alike.
