    The “speak softly” era of American diplomacy is over, but the big stick is still bigger than ever. There is effectively a zero chance of anyone being willing to go toe to toe with the big stick. Although its possible the current leadership runs itself out of resources to wield the big stick against a large enough coalition of other countries. That part remains to be seen while we waste time fighting Iran for no reason
