The members of Barack Obama’s administration in exile have become conspicuously noisy of late—even more so than usual. In her estimation, America has abdicated its role as a “force for good.”It’s no coincidence that these overheated condemnations accompany abundant evidence that the Trump administration is finding its legs. By contrast, and to the surprise of just about everyone, the Trump administration has been tough on Russia. For now, at least, the Trump administration has declined to govern as Trump campaigned; not as a populist firebrand but a conventional Republican. Susan Rice and her former White House colleagues have every reason to worry, but not for the United States.
