The fact that they are tripping over themselves to align with Trump’s attacks on international norms is a warning sign.

I wrote yesterday that Miller is a shitty realist. But Drezner is a very good one and the people he cites are excellent International Relations theorists. So, read the piece, it helps to explain where we were, where we are going, and how Trump is so very different even from unilateralist, dim Bush

Endorsed!
That said, the next Democratic president should absolutely lodge an Article 12(3) declaration with the ICC covering the entirety of the Trump administration
Withdrawing from treaties that require Senate approval to join, by executive order. It’s absurd & wildly anti-democratic that we allow this norm to persist. The deck stacked against international cooperation.
Presidentialism, & the post-WWII imperial presidency in particular, was a grave mistake.
