Biden Hits India and Hurts America in the Indo-Pacific

The Biden Administration has threatened India with sanctions at a time when the US needs India to contain China more than ever.

What Are Biden’s Foreign Policy Priorities?

China,. Iran, Russia, and the future of America in space are all topics of concern in this wide-ranging, freewheeling discussion between popular author and leading geopolitical analyst, Brandon J. Weichert, and Salem Radio Network’s Seth Leibsohn. Weichert assesses the efficacy of current early Biden foreign policy priorities and whether or not the 46th president will rise to this most serious historical challenge. Thus far, it’s a rocky start. Here’s to hoping things can get better over time, though!

Neoconservatism: The Handmaiden of Big Corporations

“Only time will tell whether the Trump reaction to neoconservatism will bear the policy fruits we hope for. At any rate, one thing is clear: Understanding the influence of big corporations on the neoconservative movement is essential if we are to combat it effectively.”

The Buzzwords and BS of American Foreign Policy

“The democratic globalists were, at best, simply wrong about the threat that Iraq posed (and presented incorrect solutions to that reputed threat) or, at worst, they simply lied and exaggerated about the Iraqi nuclear weapons threat in order to implement their absurd theory for turning the Mideast into the Midwest.”

Make the Other Guy Die For His Country

“A balance of power paradigm that pits one group of foreign states mostly serving American interests against another, is the best way. Enough of over-committing U.S. forces to the field of battle at the outset of any potential conflict. Play all sides until the best deal can be reached.

The United States isn’t opposed to fighting. The country has been engaged in warfare of some kind for 222 out of its 239-year existence (that’s roughly 93 percent of American history). It’s not about being afraid to fight. The issue is when to fight and how (also, why, particularly in the case of the Middle East). 

American policymakers cannot formulate a cogent answer to those questions. At least, not until the wonderfully disruptive Age of Trump.”

Stop Listening to Foreign Policy Experts

“It’s not surprising that the neoconservatives who pushed us into the most self-destructive war in recent history (and also spearheaded the neoliberal economic policies that led us into the Great Recession of 2008), then got rich and famous off books detailing the “coming collapse of the United States” because of the failed wars and economic policies they had spent the previous two decades advocating for!”

What’s In A Doctrine?

In my most recent article at American Greatness, I attempt to define how American security and independence are at the core of the best U.S. foreign policy doctrines…and why these concepts are at the core of the budding Trump Doctrine.

LECTURE: Trump’s Russia Policy After Flynn

Our friend and guest author, Dr. Marek Jan Chodakiewicz gives a lecture at the Institute of World Politics in Washington, D.C. on his recent article at The Weichert Report, “Trump’s Russia Policy After Flynn.”

Saving South Sudan: Taking a Pre-Failed State Toward Successful Statehood

South Sudan is the world’s youngest country. It was created after having fought a brutal war against Omar al-Bashir’s Islamist government of Sudan. President George W. Bush, more than any foreign leader, is the man most responsible for midwifing the birth of South Sudan. Now, South Sudan has become consumed by tribal civil war and is what many experts refer to as the world’s “first Pre-Failed State.” This article advocates for the cantonization of South Sudan to save the 3 year-old country.
