Given how the U.S. is behaving in a manner that other nations find unexpected, I am assuming that this administration's instantiation of "America First" is going to ultimately lead to nuclear proliferation well beyond where it is now. Perhaps that will turn out to be wrong, but it seems quite likely to me. May I get a read from my most enthusiastic "America First" friends: do you expect this? If so, is this troubling to you? Do you think I am incorrect that if the U.S. pulls back from historical agreements and commitments that nuclear proliferation will result as the world's policeman retires or goes on an indefinite donut break? Am I not getting what is going on? I'm guessing I am going to hear a lot of rationalizations like "It was gonna happen anyway so we might as well give up the ghost and get on with whatever comes next." or "Trump has a plan for this." or "Nukes don't matter anymore." or "They wouldn't dare under Trump." etc. It would be great *not* to have those braindead bot-level conversations. We can all do rationalizations in our sleep without help...myself included. I'm curious as to whether those viewing this situation with unconflicted enthusiasm at least share a general sketch of a long-term plan for a multi-polar world with say 50+ nuclear nations, or believes there is a plan to stop that from happening as the U.S. disentangles from the world. I have no clue, as I have heard no such plan or even much discussion of this issue. Thanks in advance. 🙏
