I often wonder, what...if any..."Conservative principles" were real. That all foreign policy priors were so quickly shed or reversed is telling.

Perhaps the non-Maga base still believes in the same foreign policy that Republican officials trumpeted endlessly just a decade ago, but the moral bankruptcy of the GOP is as deep as it is wide amongst officeholders.

Meanwhile, the world is burning and Biden is forced to row with a single oar...the collapse of the party will have repercussions for decades.

Trump may have read the advice(s) of George F. Kennan. The writer of this article probably never heard of the man.

Too bad. It is becoming clearer to anyone going beyond the msm headlines that Kennan's approach to Russia would have prevented the Ukrainan intrusion, and as for the Middle East, our best course is to make the US independent of the region's crude.

Anything else is just blather, straight from Foggy Bottom.

The people of this countgry deserve much better leadership --- even if that includes (the odious) Donald Trump.

Silly comment. Religion, real religion, is pretty much dead in the US. Clubbish Sunday-parties are not even a good copy.

If you want to see fanaticism, it was nakedly displayed on October 7. Once again, as Muslims plowed over my Europe for centuries.

Nicolas, evangelicals aren't kidnapping, raping, torturing, and murdering women at music festivals, nor are they putting babies into ovens and burning them alive. Only someone who is completely divorced from reality would think evangelical Christians in America are anything like Hamas. Also, a great deal of Israelis are not even religious, they just want to be left alone by the hijabis blowing themselves up at bus stops. A Jewish Israeli girl can make an OF but a hijabi in Gaza or the West Bank will be murdered by her own family for daring to walk outside without a hijab on. For the love of Christ, why do some westerners still defend those bastards?
