You're confusing tactics for strategy (as is the media, which is entirely necessary for the strategy to work). I could point you at the policy papers, but if you think the US can upend 70 years of foreign policy in the blink of an eye and without a fight, you can believe anything.

If you think it can't do that at the whim of the President (with or without a fight, since no opponent can win that fight), especially after a massive purge of the military leadership, you have an even more exaggerated fantasy view of the power of the "deep state" than even the paranoid fantasies -- that those presenting them don't even believe -- used as a pretext for the purge. Yes, radical breaks in policy are possible, and the Trump Administration has been doing them in virtually every domain.
