Nonetheless, the MSR 2026 points out: “Washington’s bulldozer politics promises to break institutional inertia and compel problem-solving on challenges marked by gridlock. The breakthroughs on NATO defense spending targets and on a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas are cases in point.” Yet the report does not believe such successes justify the means by which they were achieved. President Trump does have a way of pushing policies and initiatives based on a single alternative: his. With the absence of viable options from the Europeans, Trump’s approach is often not just a “single” alternative among many; it is the only alternative on the table.
MSR 2026 laments that “The US administration’s renunciation of core elements of the existing international order is impacting different regions of the world and disrupting various policy domains.” Maybe those policy domains need to be disrupted. The notion that there is a mutually agreed-upon and adhered-to rules-based order to geopolitics is a fiction. It doesn’t exist, as if it ever did.
