Russia Ukraine war, page-141

The US is expected to be naiive on geopolitical issues. This is because a lot of Americans lack interest in what's beyond their front gate.

I recall Pompeo not being able to point to Crimea on a map. Trump can't even recognise the names of African nations. Obama was better on some basics but his ME policy was a naiive disaster until the Yazidis needed rescue.

Thus the need for key US Allies to underpin the relationship with a more robust and pragmatic dialogue.
