If you don't like Trump's foreign policies today, don't worry he will have changed his mind the next month. Remember not to long ago when Ukraine started the war and was the problem and Zelensky was preventing peace? The US now is signing an agreement with Ukraine which declares Russia started the war and is the aggressor, and protection of Ukraine is now in the US interest (as is their minerals). Anyone expecting a stable US policy is in for a rude awakening. And you thought tariffs or the college football Portal was chaotic?

It wouldn't surprise me if we bombed Iran and signed a peace deal with them on the same day

Over the past several days:

- A trade deal with China
- A trade deal with the UK
- A ceasefire between India and Pakistan
- Putin and Zelensky will meet this week in Turkey to discuss ceasefire

Can we get back to this buried bit about hitmen to assassinate Trump?
I'm very interested in that.

Political Assassination is a dastardly thing, with horrible consequences.

The assassination rumors about Iran have been around for a while. I recall it being mentioned when Trump's ear got nicked in PA.

I would say tariffs are part of the foreign policy and yes, just as chaotic.

The thing about Trump is he's totally transactional so if the Arabs can out bribe the Jewish lobby that might be a good thing for our current foreign policy

He's also got a huge ego and so is less prone to being bossed around by Netanyahu.

I'm not a neocon,*I just don't trust him.

*….and that is why I have always thought this is one of the best articles on the roots of the pretextual invasion of Iraq.

Macgregor is very much aligned with Buchanan's non-interventionist stance.

^To Tequila above: neocons are defined as advocates of forever wars and proponents of the wars and interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and now Iran.

Huge speech in Riyadh. Trump was directing his remarks to the globalists in Europe and the necons here in the U.S. as much as he was speaking to the Saudis.

"In the end, the so-called nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built and the interventionalists were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand themselves."

In case it isn't clear to everyone, that Gabbard quote is from 2018.

1. It clearly says 2018; and
2. The statement is more accurate 7 years later than it was back then.

Thanks for clarifying that. I read the post thinking this just happened because 2018 has no punctuation and blends into the rest of the text.

…..and even more importantly, it is no longer a valid criticism in 2025 since both Tulsi and Trump have evolved.

Trump's policy in Syria looks to be a slap in the face to neocons. Lift sanctions and endorses new President, ex Al Queda, ex fighter against Americans in Iraq. This is also a major nod to Turkey and the gulf states and a blow against Israel who want to control airspace and geography in Syria.
