The Shift from Bipartisan Policy

The changing nature of U.S. foreign policy is highlighted by the recent trend toward isolationism, with several consecutive administrations moving away from a traditional interventionist stance. This shift, encompassing presidents from Obama to Trump, has created an uncertain landscape regarding the country's strategic goals and global engagements. The lack of a cohesive strategy has resulted in a fragmented approach to international relations, reminiscent of historical patterns where new administrations initiated entirely different foreign policies based on their coalition's interests. The discussion around this topic suggests that the U.S. may be entering a phase similar to earlier periods characterized by a lack of institutional knowledge and fluctuating military interventions.
