Nowhere did I say nothing should be done.
What I think is that Trump is incapable of accomplishing anything of any import on the diplomatic front, whether it be trade, WMD or promotion of respect for human rights. The latter he has only eroded.
Over the past year, the U.S. should have been building leverage by enlisting allies and working through the World Trade Organization. Instead, the Trump administration has postured, picked needless fights with friends, and undermined global institutions.
