Rush Doshi(@RushDoshi):Thanks! Alas, the quote in this FA tweet is sadly out of context. The key line comes immediately after and inverts this frame. “But Americans would be wiser still to invert Carrington’s admonition. At a time when the United States needs its allies more than ever, forbearance is essential. They are, after all, the only allies Americans have.” The key point is the 1980s declaration by Carrington should reversed: America needs its allies.
