@colinsmo The withdrawal policy and talks with the Taliban began under Trump. It’s not complicated. Biden executed it disastrously, but the policy was a disaster to begin with. The common thread between progressive foreign policy (Obama/ Biden) and populist foreign policy is that America…

Eight years ago, a GOP member saying “peace through strength” would have been something to ignore. Maybe even roll your eyes at. Today, with a pro-Putin caucus at the core of the party, it’s notable.

It is true — and I have said many times — that I think the Trump admin’s policy towards Iran was a proper course correction. But the disaster in Afghanistan went into motion under Trump, and his policy towards Russia was as ambiguous as (or worse than) Biden’s.

The settler movement deserves criticism and scrutiny, but it has nothing to do with the war in Gaza. Quite the opposite — settlers were uprooted and forced out of Gaza by the IDF in 2005. Talk of the settlers in regard to this war is a non-Sequitur. Likewise, if we are going to…

Yes… a good correction here from Matt. I was thinking of the leaders on the board and in the “C-Suite (equivalent)” more than the core of mars. What motivated that coalition was different than early years — and reformed theology was a secondary priority (at best).

McCarthyism was about falsely accusing people of being covert Communist revolutionaries and ruining their careers. Jodi Dean wrote a grotesque apologia for 10/7 in a communist framework. Also, ma’am, please see your profile. Whatever this is, it ain’t McCarthyism.
