Free Dictionary definition: rogue state - a state that does not respect other states in its international actions.
A few examples of the disrespect that America has recently shown other nations:
Threatening other nations with sanctions if it doesn't do what America wants - most recently against Germany, France and UK regarding Iran.
Threatening "fire and fury like the world has never seen" against North Korea.
Pulling out of the Paris Agreement without providing any detailed explanation.
Childish Twitter attacks against other international leaders, for example the Mayor of London (who is Muslim).
Wanting to ban all Muslims from entering USA.
Lecturing other nations about NATO contributions/defense spending.
Calling other nations "shitholes."
Threatening other nations who don't support USA Football World Cup bid for 2026.
Stating a trade war with other nations.
Calling Mexicans "rapists and murderers."
Do you think America is now a "rogue state?" And if so, what, if anything, should other nations do about it?"

We have a treasonous POS squatting in the WH.
But you notice how tRump loves dictators and is isolating countries which used to be our allies, they will go it alone, and we will be shunned. Very dangerous for us right now.
America 1st???? no we will be isolated, this is not very insightful not for 2018.

What is that saying My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.
But then again, if push comes to shove.

For all of the right-wing Republican blather about President Obama making the US look "weak" and "irrelevant", nobody could actually make us look worse than Donald Trump has so far. George W. Bush got the ball rolling on making us a pariah state with only a brief interlude with Obama where we were respected again.
