In a little more than 100 days, Donald Trump has set about dismantling much of the international order that has prevailed since World War II. That’s true of traditional U.S. approaches to trade, to conflict, alliances, international organizations, and more. But as much as we focus on Trump, Michael Beckley argues that much of this change in U.S. foreign policy has deeper roots, going to the very nature of American power.

In February 2022, as Russian forces advanced on Kyiv, Ukraine’s government faced a critical vulnerability: with its Internet and communication networks under attack, its troops and leaders would soon be in the dark. Elon Musk—the de facto head of Tesla, SpaceX, X (formerly Twitter), xAI, the Boring Company, and Neuralink—stepped in. Within days, SpaceX had deployed thousands of Starlink terminals to Ukraine and activated satellite Internet service at no cost.

En las semanas antes de que Edgar Tumiñá fuera asesinado de nueve disparos en la cabeza, el líder indígena había tomado todas las precauciones para evitar ser visto mientras visitaba a su familia en Toribio, un pueblo del Cauca, en el suroeste de Colombia.

Tres meses después, lo mataron.

In the weeks before Edgar Tumiñá was killed with nine shots to his head, the indigenous leader had taken every precaution to avoid being seen while visiting his family in Toribio, a town in the southwestern part of Colombia called Cauca. Tumi, as everyone knew him, had gotten so many death threats that it had become a monotonous form of terror. “They want me dead,” he told me in November. Three months later, he was assassinated. Tumi was a quiet, muscular man in his late 40s.
