Do you have any links to those combined views?

To me, an analogy is the market. Yes, we can all steal from each other, true, and that comes down to might makes right, but if we start to buy and sell, and trade with each other, both parties benefit.

This is one of the foundational ideas of libertarianism.

This is the truth. People have to stop pretending, and to realize that between nations, there can only be force or the threat of force.

Should they so choose, there can of course be cooperation, but at the end of the day, there is a reason we call them sovereign nations.

Become a political realist, and gain the benefit of not being particularly surprised at how Trump is acting or what he is doing.

Add to that, the realization that he is a business man, and you will no longer be surprised by anything he does, and you will easily be able to predict what he will do.
