Kamala Harris could be a strong candidate on foreign policy, especially in the Middle East. It’s a bad optional choice to embrace bad policies on Gaza and the wider Middle East. Harris and Dems could easily and quickly change course. Here’s how. 1/11

Imagine talking to normal human beings - rather than DoD lawyers - and telling them that yes, there are rockets being fired at US troops but no, this is not a combat zone because that means something very specific. They'd rightly laugh you out the room.

It's Debatable is up! Did Trump or Harris win the debate on foreign policy? Depends if you're looking at style or substance. foreignpolicy.com/2024/09/13/har…

Once again I'm begging people to realize that history has been very long and that in addition to 1938 there has been many other years.
