Oh really? 🙄 Russia’s Foreign Ministry has been drawing up plans to try to weaken its Western adversaries, including the United States, and leverage the Ukraine war to forge a global order free from what it sees as American dominance, according to a secret Foreign Ministry document. | Washington Post

"But Republican voters don’t want Reagan Republicanism. Old-school conservatives may pine for a return to balanced budgets, personal responsibility, and American leadership in the world (guilty).

“The protesters and many voters are upset about something more than a regular matter of foreign policy. Many believe that they are witnessing a genocide aided and abetted by an American president whom they supported. They feel personally implicated in a conflict in which the death toll continues to rise, with no end in sight. This is a moral issue for them, and their position won’t be easily altered.”

A Self-Absorbed America Means Disorder for the World
Whatever the next year holds, the world owes U.S. President Joe Biden a debt of gratitude for the past three. Against rather long odds, he has managed to hold back the chaos that has long been flooding into U.S. politics.
But the next year—and likely the years beyond—promises to be a maelstrom for U.S. foreign policy.

“Asked whether there were ‘any changes to the President’s policy toward Israel and Gaza as a result of yesterday’s strike,’ White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre declared, ‘[n]othing has changed.’
In an earlier statement … White House National Security spokesman John Kirby asserted, ‘We make no bones about the fact that Israel is going to continue to have American support for the fight that they’re in to eliminate the threat from Hamas.’”
