I always take these articles to mean the policy of the admin as a whole. The relevant part there is the acknowledgement that the aggressive and confrontational foreign policy US has been pursuing is now backfiring. It’s basically saying that US coercive policies are no longer working, and US needs to start rediscovering how to conduct actual diplomacy.
The core of these bureaucratic machines have intellectually disintegrated. All the incumbents climbed the ranks during “the end of history”, the apex of Amerikkkan power. When it could say whatever and bomb whomever without repercussion. Now these cretins have to deal with the opposite. A world with opposition.
There’s such vitriol in media, which trails White House opinion, for the realist perspective. As foul as those people are, acknowledging the security interest and rationality of other nations is anathema to this generation of leaders.
The Republican party, the more overtly reactionary of the duopoly, after feeding and nurturing a base of football hooligans has become infested with those same people and now openly litigates whether antebellum slavery was a good for the slaves or not.

I agree. Just that seeing someone who could be wearing adult diapers being upheld as the helmsman of an empire gets tiring lol
