  • Trump doesn’t have a foreign policy

    1 week ago | vox.com | Zack Beauchamp

    This story was adapted from the On the Right newsletter. New editions drop every Wednesday. Sign up here. For years, there has been an increasingly bitter foreign policy fight between two factions of the Republican Party. On one hand, you have the GOP hawks like Sen. Lindsey Graham (SC) who want the United States to impose its will on the world by force.

  • Trump’s DC military parade is a warning

    1 week ago | vox.com | Zack Beauchamp

    Donald Trump’s military parade in Washington this weekend — a show of force in the capital that just happens to take place on the president’s birthday — smacks of authoritarian Dear Leader-style politics (even though Trump actually got the idea after attending the 2017 Bastille Day parade in Paris).

  • Israel-Iran war: Three things that will determine the conflict’s outcome

    2 weeks ago | vox.com | Zack Beauchamp

    Last night, Israel went to war with Iran — launching a bombing raid targeting Iran’s senior military leadership and top nuclear scientists. The strikes were a tactical triumph for Israel: The heads of both Iran’s entire military and its Revolutionary Guards were killed in the opening hours, and Iranian air defenses took a massive hit. Israel suffered few, if any, losses and suffered no immediate major retaliation.

    When President Donald Trump and Elon Musk had their dramatic falling-out last week, it appeared the right was on the brink of civil war — with Musk’s allies in the “tech right” poised to battle Steve Bannon and his faction of populist tribunes. The battle lines reflected deep disagreements between the right’s factions about the nature and purpose of government, divides made increasingly salient by Trump’s policies in areas like trade.

    3 weeks ago | vox.com | Zack Beauchamp

    Last week, the State Department published a strikingly radical screed on its official Substack. Titled “The Need for Civilizational Allies in Europe,” the piece accused Europe’s governments of waging “an aggressive campaign against Western civilization itself.”These Western nations, according to author Samuel Samson, have turned on their own heritage: abandoning democracy in favor of a repressive liberalism that threatens to snuff out the heart of their own civilization.
