American power is not half as scary as its absence would be.
That’s the punch line from this Economist article.
American interest in the outside world has ebbed and flowed throughout its history. We are now in an ebbing phase, and I’m not convinced that the GOP will produce and internationalist candidate to buck the trend rather than a neo-isolationist like Rand Paul. It’s interesting to watch the world squirm though, especially the freeloading Europeans (the British excepted).
