Independent foreign policy

The former Australian Foreign Minister is so dismayed by Trump that he recommends a foreign policy independent of the U.S. I agree. More ideas/proposals/policies is how innovation occurs. To use my economy metaphor, evolution needs a wide array of memes to act on.

Comment at Crooks & Liars:

Trump is so awful, he's marginalizing U.S. foreign policy, even with close allies. With the U.S. no longer setting the 'moral compass/standard' of foreign engagement, perhaps a higher ethical standard can be established by another standard bearer.
