While it's probably a mistake to assign too much method to Trump's madness, I can't help but think that at least one function of all this resurgent "Monroe Doctrine" stuff -- Venezuela, Cuba, Panama, Canada -- plus Iran, Europe & Greenland, is to serve as psychological compensation for the less edifying adjustments that are begrudgingly being made elsewhere, namely in relation to China. Ok, so maybe we can't dominate China, but we can sure kick the shit out of all you little people and feel good about doing it. Psychologists would call this "displacement".
