Richard Haass Warns that Shift to ‘Crude Force’ Marks the End of 80 Years of U.S. Global Leadership

EXCERPT:

HAASS: "For 80 years the United States has been successful in the world because we had people work with us because they wanted to. We have basically been the leader of the world through consent. What we heard yesterday was a very different United States. We've thrown consent out the window. Now it's about coercion."
BRZEZINSKI: "Mm-hmm."
HAASS: "It's about crude force. To the victor goes the spoils.”
