Trump vies for Bush’s crown for worst foreign policy decision in history (www.theguardian.com)

In the space of eight minutes, Trump proceeded to upend half a century of US foreign policy [...?], renege on his campaign promise to avoid the risk of forever wars and leave the Fifa boss, Gianni Infantino, with some explaining to do about why he gave Trump a made-up peace prize.

“There is also a beautiful medal for you that you can wear everywhere you want to go,” the oleaginous Infantino had told Trump last December. Trump was not wearing that medal on Saturday. Instead he delivered a performance that would have had soccer fans chanting: “Are you George Bush in disguise?”

Bush dragged the US into a tragic war in Iraq in 2003 that costs hundreds of thousands of lives and trillions of dollars and was recently crowned by the Council on Foreign Relations thinktank as the worst foreign policy decision in history. The avaricious Trump seems determined to seize that title for himself with another act of Middle Eastern regime change.
