## Resource

Donald Trump has threatened to bomb long-time diplomatic mediator Oman and unilaterally reduce joint military exercises with South Korea—demonstrating a severe breakdown in foreign policy strategy. By severing critical diplomatic backchannels and catering to authoritarian leaders, these uncoordinated actions drastically heighten the risk of accidental global conflict and nuclear escalation.
