I am talking about international politics and you are talking about domestic politics. (Even with domestic politics, the political institutions of America are quite robust, and can withstand an assault on it. Not saying it won't hurt, but no long-term damage that can't be easily addressed is going to happen in America.)

> you are talking about domestic politics.

It turns out it matters who runs the country and how they run it.

Respectfully, we are in the comments section of an article about international diplomacy and the parent commenter really went out of their way for their comment to be exclusively about US foreign policy.

It’s also worth discussing domestic policy, that’s just not this thread.

Who do you think is setting foreign policy? How sure are you that "Trump is going to be a President only for a few years"? Even if elections proceed as normal, how sure are you that JD Vance, for example, won't win the next term? You don't think JD Vance's foreign policy would be different, do you?

This is precisely this thread.
