(1) Foreign policy consistency is a means, not an end. It's not sacred. Thus, it's Trump's right to shift policy, alliances, strategy.

(2) What has happened in the last 48 hours is not a shift. These are major pivots in foreign policy w/out any plan. That's how wars start.

(3) And if they aren't pivots - just radical temporary deviations - allies will walk if they have no clue what we stand for. Just as bad.

3. i really think this undermines our legitimacy on the world stage.

certainly he has no mandate. when the rest of the world absorbs that we are being led by a man who didnt get the most votes, i shudder.
