U.S. has gone from resisting idea of a multipolar order to an attempt to dominate it on new terms, writes Julian Zelizer .

Zelizer: Under President Trump , realpolitik has reemerged, driven by transactional pragmatism rather than ideology.

The era of liberal internationalism is over, Zelizer says.

F. Andrew Wolf Jr. says Russia must continue its efforts toward a closer relationship with the U.S. , built on economic and political cooperation, not intransigence.

Wolf : The old order is slipping into irrelevance. The objective now is to claim one’s place in the new multipolar world.
