A Question of Trust: Will the US Remain a Reliable Partner?

Red lines in Syria. The Afghanistan pullout. International aid cuts. Declining domestic support for foreign engagement, entanglement and war. Just how committed is the US leadership to an active foreign policy? Can its allies in the developed and developing
worlds really count on America as a reliable partner anymore? Zanny Minton Beddoes, Editor-in-Chief, The Economist moderates a panel with Gerald M. Butts, Vice Chairman, Eurasia Group, Bilahari Kausikan, Chairman, Middle East Institute, National University of
Singapore and Gayle Smith, Chief Executive Officer, ONE Campaign at the 2022 Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore.

“To be an enemy of America can be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal.” - Henry Kissinger

[@tohweecheng]

if democracy is the thing, why is the US not abiding by the majority votes in UN? Why would there be 5 countries with veto rights in UN?

[@stevenchow5684]

If you want to avoid Fatalities keep your eyes open all the times

[@kooisengchng5283]

No one wants US to maintain strategic balance. Strategic balance is not determined by one country. It is NOT strategic balance when one country holds sway and tells everyone what to do, as what US is doing now, at least in ASEAN. Asia does not want hegemonic balance. Multipolarity is the key to getting along with everybody. Threats of war american style is not what we want. Offers of economic cooperation, etc is the key to good international relationships. That is why china is benefiting from the American dysfunctional approach to international relationships. It offers trade whilst america offers war. America has not realised this and keeps doing its warmongering.

Well Most if not all Loves the US presence as a Strategic Counter Balance . Without the US presence, The rest cannot derieve much value from the domineering local powers.

If you want the woman (matriarchy in this case) to be a reliable partner, get her pregnant.

[@russiasucks7170]

Kausikan is clearly more nuance and ‘smarter’ in his view as compared to the other 2.

[@Thekidisalright]

He is a fucking embarrassment.

[@fr21_org]

indeed, its always good to bring in an non-emotionally attached speaker. it doesn't help the other 2 where ideological pairs :/

[@fleurty1844]

This panel provoked a visceral reaction of disgust in me on several occasions! Laughing and giggling about a war?!? Let’s hope those individuals are a product of some old school way of thinking where being cynical was perceived as being smart and they are not bad or cynical people otherwise, but just old and on their way to irrelevance (in terms of behavior, not necessarily ideas).

Good work guys God bless you
