Note Albright implies that putting America first and working with other nations are mutually exclusive.

This is typical of progressives and globalists for whom working as a partner implies giving up national sovereignty. .


Madeleine Albright: Trump’s Message Should Not be ‘America First but America as a Partner’
by Pam Key10 Jan 20171,332

Tuesday at the U.S. Institute of Peace’s Passing the Baton event, President Bill Clinton’s former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright criticized President-elect Donald Trump’s “America First” policy.

On Trump’s use of Twitter, Albright said, “I’m going to try to be polite. Let me just say that I am very concerned about the tweets and generally about the messages that are going out.”

Albright continued, “And if I could say, Secretary Kerry said I invented the term ‘indispensable nation.’ Actually President Clinton did. I said it so often it became identified with me. But there is nothing about that term that says alone. It means that the United States needs to be engaged. I think that that is a message I think we need to get out there, not as ‘America First,’ but as America as a partner. There is nothing wrong with partnerships. I know Americans don’t like the word multilateralism. It has too many syllables and ends in an ism. The bottom line is all it means is partnership and understanding the world as we see it in terms of what you call the global issues out there, whether it’s terrorism or global diseases or nuclear proliferation, those issues require partnerships.”

Albright, wading into the issue at the next panel, also argued against the U.S. pursuing a foreign policy of “America First,” a phrase Trump used repeatedly on the campaign trail to describe his vision of focusing on jobs and other priorities at home. Albright referenced President Bill Clinton’s label of the U.S. as an “indispensable nation” and argued that the U.S. “needs to be engaged” as a partner with nations abroad.

“I think that that is a message I think we need to get out there, not as ‘America First,’ but as America as a partner,” Albright said.

What is The US Institute for Peace and who funds it ?

The United States Institute of Peace (USIP) is an American non-partisan, independent, federal institution that provides analysis of and is involved in conflicts around the world. The Institute was established by an act of U.S. Congress that was signed into law by President Ronald Reagan in 1984. The board is appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Its headquarters, in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of Washington, D.C., sits at the northwest corner of the National Mall near the Lincoln Memorial and Vietnam Veterans Memori

.................................................................

USIP is funded annually by the U.S. Congress. For fiscal year 2012 Congress provided $39 million.[10] Occasionally, USIP receives funds transferred from government agencies, such as the Department of State, USAID, and the Department of Defense. By law, USIP is prohibited from receiving private gifts and contributions for its program activities. The restriction on private fundraising was lifted for the public-private partnership to construct the USIP headquarters.

In other words it is an institute funded by taxpayer dollars, working against the interests of the US.

This from a woman who thinks of partnering as a form of losing gracefully. Winning and partnering are the same for a good negotiator like Donald Trump.

Partnering to a Globalist means America should lose to show others how magnanimous she really is.
