America’s Global Retreat: How Trump Broke Our Foreign Policy

In Chapter 5 of New Millennials


We take a scalpel to what may be the most critical failure of our time: America’s vanishing credibility on the world stage. With Trump embracing strongmen, MAGA parroting Kremlin propaganda, and Democrats too afraid to lead, it’s time for a new coalition to step forward one that speaks with clarity, conviction, and global vision.

Foreign policy isn’t just about diplomacy. It’s about moral clarity. It’s about knowing who your allies are and acting like it. It’s about knowing the difference between strength and bravado. Under Trump and yes, even under current Democratic leadership, we’ve lost our way.

The Ukraine Disaster: Stop Taking the Bait


The mainstream media let Trump control the narrative after his Oval Office meeting with Zelensky. The story became “Should Zelensky go?” when the real headline should have been “Why is Trump siding with Russia?” Zelensky’s only “crime” was telling the truth that Russia is the aggressor. That should have been amplified by every Democratic leader, over and over. Instead, silence. Meanwhile, MAGA eats up the propaganda, and Democrats chase headlines instead of setting them.

Don’t take the bait. Don’t dignify clown questions. Lead with truth.

MAGA is a cult, not a policy platform. If Trump decided tomorrow that EU was an enemy, they’d fall in line. You don’t reason with that. You organize around it. You outnumber it. You offer a better path forward.

Instead of performative outrage, create real headlines:

“U.S. Affirms Commitment to NATO”

“Bipartisan Plan to Rebuild Ukraine With Frozen Russian Assets”

“Democratic Leadership Meets With Greenland PM to Discuss NATO base expansion ”

That’s how you project power by showing up, not shouting.

Gaza and Israel: Complex Truths, No Simplified Takes


New Millennials hold space for nuance: Israel has the right to hunt Hamas. Hamas started this war. But we must also hold Israel accountable to international law. Annexation talk? Dangerous. Reckless. It hands recruiting fuel to extremists for generations.

This isn’t America’s war. Let Israel decide if it wants to be a beacon or a bully. But let it also be known: we will not send troops. Instead, our focus should be building up legitimate leadership in the West Bank real governance, not terror-backed militias. Gaza’s been destroyed. Rebuilding it begins with diplomacy, not blind loyalty.

The Prestige Collapse: America’s Word No Longer Matters
Germany is considering going nuclear. That’s not a footnote that’s an alarm bell. The country that once trusted American leadership so deeply it gave up its own deterrent now questions if we’ll show up when it counts.

Why? Because Trump broke the alliance structure. Democrats haven’t fixed it.

Heck, we voted with North Korea and Russia at the U.N. Just let that sink in. Imagine if Obama had done that the GOP would’ve lit the Capitol on fire, it’s kinda their thing.

This is the cost of inaction. Not just credibility but peace, progress, and global stability. Greenland, Canada, and the war on common sense. Trump loves annexation fantasies. First it was Greenland. Now it’s Canada. Meanwhile, the U.S. is placing more tariffs on Canada our top trading partner than on authoritarian regimes like China or Saudi Arabia.

That’s not strength. That’s instability. That’s not America First. That’s America Adrift.

We need to reaffirm our values with the people who actually share them. Bring Greenland’s leadership to Washington. Deepen U.S.-Canada trade ties. Create new diplomatic channels with the EU. Invite Ukraine and the Baltics into NATO. Show some MCE.

A Real Foreign Policy Doctrine for the 21st Century
Here’s what New Millennials propose:

Freeze and redirect Russian oligarch assets to rebuild Ukraine.

Enforce sanctions with teeth, not tweets.

End rhetorical warfare and return to statesmanship.

Build relationships rooted in shared values, not fear or favoritism.

And when MAGA screams “what about the children,”#PizzaGate hit them with the truth: thousands of Ukrainian kids were kidnapped and sent to Russia. Want to talk about kids? Start there.

Final Thought:

This chapter doesn’t ask for war. It demands clarity. It doesn’t call for outrage. It calls for order.
The world still looks to America but it won’t for much longer if we keep playing like amateurs on a global chessboard. The next generation must lead differently. Smarter. Sharper. Unified.
This isn’t about being louder. It’s about being right. It’s time to be better. It’s time to lead with integrity not ego.

New Millennials won’t pander. We won’t take the bait. We’ll build what they broke

We’re not here to take sides—we’re here to take over.

The New Millennials movement is reimagining what American leadership should look like. Inspired by the ancient ideal of the Philosopher King, we believe governance should be rooted in wisdom, not wealth… in truth, not tribalism.

We’re building real infrastructure:
– A political HQ.
– A content team.
– A digital presence with reach.
– Outreach to the disillusioned and the unheard.

From rewriting the Constitution, to launching a Real Green Deal, to overhauling the education system—this is the blueprint for an evolved America.

If you’re tired of being forced to choose between broken parties, help us build something new.
