You cannot help admiring the American political and legal rigour and tenacity at home. It is captured in President Donald Trump’s campaign slogan in 2016, “America first.” When everything is done, where does it leave the country? Hence the founders of America built strong institutions that always place America first.
In foreign affairs, the law does not matter. It is always America first. Theirs has always been a lone-ranger policy. In August 1945, President Harry Truman bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki to force Japan on its knees in World War II. Not even Churchill, until only a month earlier the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister and foremost ally in the war, knew what was coming.
