How is it the media thinks foreign policy works? Can anyone think of any foreign policy ever established that wasn't at its core quid pro quo? Is it even possible to have foreign policy without quid pro quo?

Then for them to back up and say we are too stupid for the quid pro quo accusations and switch it to bribery...? Pathetic!

The breaton-woods agreement was for the United States to be the guarantor of the worlds trade routes utilizing the US Navy following WW2, as well as the market of last resort. This allowed the rest of the developed world to trade thier broken and ruined countries back into affluence... in exchange for thier support in the cold war against the Soviet Union. This quid pro quo was the natural order of all foreign policy until the Berlin wall fell.

For some reason we kept that order in place for the next 30 years with no benefit to our country whatsoever. Now instead of asking about quid quo pro we should be asking que bono? Because if it isn't us then they should no longer have a spot at the table.

If you ask me helping us bring international criminals like the Biden's, Romney's, and Schumer's to justice sure as hell does the trick...
