Isolationism and Endless U.S. Concessions

I was wrong when I wrote that for the first time in its history, U.S. diplomacy lacked a coherent framework. I had been led to that mistaken belief by gratuitous concessions to the Cuban dictatorship, the awful preliminary agreement with Iran, tolerance of the excesses of Chavez and Maduro in Venezuela, and the contradictory manner in which U.S. diplomats had handled, for example, the crises in Ukraine, Honduras, and Egypt.
