  • Foreign Policy Splits the Parties

    In 2024, foreign policy doesn’t pit Republicans against Democrats so much as it pits Republicans against Republicans and Democrats against Democrats. For Joe Biden’s party, Israel is the fault line, with Democrats split between supporters of the Jewish State and those of Palestinian sympathies. For the party of Donald Trump, the internal conflict is over Ukraine, and the bitterness of the battle risks costing Mike Johnson his speakership.

  • Japan's Foreign Policy Revolution

    Washington is hardly the nation’s glamor center, and even so, visits by foreign dignitaries usually produce more style than substance.
