Nothing this crazy has ever happened, probably ever, in history.” That observation by journalist Tucker Carlson, in a post-American Presidential election interview done November 11, is a far more useful evaluation of the present state of world relations than most in the trans-Atlantic sector are likely to accept. It is, nonetheless, the truth.
