How Washington Fails the World

In a continued effort to provide you, dear listener, with a break from the incessant debate coverage, Jonah invites American Enterprise Institute foreign policy superstar Danielle Pletka on the show to find out what the hell is going on in the rest of the world.
The tour begins with the Ukraine-Russia war, with Danielle and Jonah setting their sights on Kursk to discuss how the incursion will affect the course of the conflict and the Russian psyche. They then turn their sights to Israel, making the case for moral clarity on the left, highlighting the nefarious forces behind pro-terrorist activity in the U.S., and calling out the useful idiots in the isolationist camp.

If the Philadelpi corridor is so important, why didn't Netanyahu say so earlier and move to take it earlier? It suggests that this is just something he made up to torpedo any chance of a hostage deal. You then have to ask yourself, why would he want to torpedo the deal? It may be because he doesn't want to negotiate with Terrorists. Which is a valid point of view that has it's arguments. I think the problem with Bibi is that no one knows what he is really after; which engenders distrust in the man.

Great commentary. The president should be the wind, not the windsock.

[@handle8431]

Excellent.

It's deranged dick Cheney nonsense majority of Americans don't care about Ukraine or Israel

[@tchoupitoulos]

@@DarlaKajca They care about Russia, though, and don't want them rebuilding the Soviet empire.

[@tb8865]

@@tchoupitoulos Maybe old people feel that way. Most younger Americans don't care that much and many are only vaguely aware that a Soviet Empire ever existed. It would be hard to explain to them why we still have troops in Germany and Italy, which is, in part, why few public officials even bother to try.

For the lady, can't remember her name, the vice-president's name is pronounced ",-la".

[@josephsaulski]

Nice to hear that she is all for regime change in Iran ... would be better to hear how that could be effectuated. Militarily, it would make Iraq and Afghanistan look like a simple easy weekend chore. Oh, and with all the talk of "nukes" they failed to mention that Israel has nukes and why they would need them (and how that differs from others in the region).

I don't understand how you can mispronounce someone's name for an hour straight and be expected to be taken seriously
