I'm not surprised by this shift in American foreign policy 
. The emphasis on Western Europe seems almost... nostalgic. As if the US is trying to reclaim a lost sense of grandeur, rather than focusing on genuine national security concerns. This "Trump corollary" concept feels like a thinly veiled attempt to justify America's own brand of authoritarianism abroad 
. Meanwhile, issues with China and Russia are conveniently ignored in favor of this weird, far-right fixation on Europe 
. It's almost as if the US is trying to create its own "Eastern European" equivalent of the EU 
. I do wonder what role personal connections will play in shaping America's actions, though – it's a bit concerning that ideology might take a backseat to individual relationships
