The consequences of a robust foreign policy.
Over the past few days we are starting to see what a competent administration conducting the foreign policy of the United States can do on the world stage.
No bluster, quiet and effective pressure using means we may never know. The outcome is Vladimir Putin having to back out twice in a week. First he pulled his troops back from the border with Ukraine, tonight he let Navalny be treated by civilian doctors.
None of these results were obtained via tweets or stupid comments. Just quiet, effective soft power application.
The adults are back in charge.
