  He has irreparably broken the alliances with Canada and all NATO countries, which are only nominally maintained while they reorganize without the USA, he traded it for a flimsy personal friendship with Putin and sheer servility toward Israel. He won that trophy a long time ago.

    I guess this what the us public sees as a viable ‘save gaza’ solution: if everyone ia dead, will anyone care?

    Don’t forget killing USAID, and the untold numbers of unnecessary deaths that will result, to say nothing of the harm to US soft power abroad.

  W does not have the worst foreign policy decision in history. major recency bias and Statesia bias there. For example, the city state of Sparta pretty much did not make a good foreign policy decision, but they made them with enough style that we remember them.

    Yeah, kicking that guy into a hole was a pretty bad foreign policy decision.

    My guess for worst foreign policy decision of all time would be Germany giving Carte Blanche to Austria-Hungary for their invasion of Serbia.
