With about two weeks remaining before the Transitional Presidential Council’s mandate expires on February 7, political actors have once again waited until the eleventh hour to determine what comes next.

The Trump administration exposed a myth many of us carried about what America was and what it guaranteed, not by diminishing American power, but by stripping away the story that once framed it.
