America's great transformation in the age of brute force

In her work "La Puissance sans principe," Maud Quessard critiques the shift in U.S. power under Donald Trump, highlighting a departure from principled leadership to brute force. She argues that the U.S. has abandoned its role as a stabilizing force in global order, leading to a politicization of institutions like the Pentagon. This transformation reflects a deeper conflict between the spectacle of Trump's presidency and the foundational promises of the republic, marking a troubling trend in American governance.
