On July 21, 2016 Jeffrey Goldberg published an article in ''The Atlantic'' entitled, ''It’s Official: [[Hillary Clinton]] is Running Against [[Vladimir Putin]]'', using the same opposition research material from the ''[[Steele dossier]]'' paid for by [[Hillary Clinton]]: “The [[Republican]] nominee for president, [[Donald J. Trump]], has chosen this week to unmask himself as a ''de facto'' agent of [[Russia]]n President Vladimir Putin.”  Goldberg alleged Trump’s admiration for Putin and other “equivocating, [[mercenary]] statements are unprecedented in the history of Republican [[foreign policy]]making.” However, insofar as Trump’s fundamental aim was to find some common ground with Putin, it’s a goal that has been a 25-year [[American foreign policy|U.S. policy]] constant across party lines. Starting with [[George H.W. Bush]], every American [[commander-in-chief]] since the end of the [[Cold War]] sought to “reset” relations with [[Russia]]. But Trump, according to Goldberg, was different. “Trump’s understanding of [[America]]'s role in the world aligns with Russia’s geostrategic interests.” Goldberg alleged “watered down” the [[RNC]]'s platform on [[Ukraine]] and “questioned whether the [[U.S.]], under his leadership, would keep its [ [[NATO]] ] commitments,” including [[Article 5]]. Thus, Goldberg concluded: “Donald Trump, should he be elected president, would bring an end to the [[Liberal World Order|postwar international order]].”<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2016/07/clinton-trump-putin-nato/492332/</ref>
