Trump will use the cease fire and the reopening of the Strait to highlight the brilliance of his negotiating skills. Only I can fix it, etc.
But the bell can’t be unrung, and his recent statements take us into new territory. The US is (again) a country that openly threatens war crimes and uses the specter of genocide to advance its interests.
We shouldn’t be disingenuous. US history has had its genocidal aspects. George Washington and others espoused and accepted it.
