The United States accomplished its goal of preventing a hegemon in Europe. It's time to bring the American troops stationed there home. Explain Justin Logan and Joshua Shifrinson: cato.org/commentary/pos…

Recently, Justin Logan and Jon Hoffman discussed why centering US Middle East policy on a US-China rivalry is bad for the United States. Take a listen on Cato Institute's Podcast: cato.org/multimedia/cat…

Did a pod with Wess Mitchell, Stacie Pettyjohn, and Ryan Evans on sequencing, scarcity, and solvency in US strategy. The WOTR copywriters describe it as a "charged episode" featuring "scintillating debate." You be the judge: warontherocks.libsyn.com/strategy-in-co…

I joined Morning Joe to discuss Trump's failure to end wars and avoid new ones — the standard he set for himself in his inaugural address.

"It is time to return to the foreign policy of a republic rather than an empire." Argues Doug Bandow: cato.org/commentary/nat…

If what’s happening in Gaza right now was happening anywhere else, it’s likely you would be hearing lawmakers on Capitol Hill vocally pushing for a humanitarian intervention of some kind.

That’s not to suggest a humanitarian intervention would work on the merits—previous ones (Somalia, Libya, Syria in some respects) were either ineffective or led to more problems. It’s only to reinforce the narrative dissonance we’re seeing right now.

In a NEW policy analysis, Jon Hoffman explains why the United States should not revolve its Middle East policy around competition with China: cato.org/news-releases/…

The Old Right has long challenged U.S. interventionism in the Middle East and questioned the alliance with Israel. Argues Brandan P. Buck in a piece for The American Conservative: cato.org/commentary/ins…

Israel repeatedly said it wants "total victory." It should be abundantly clear by now that means ethnically cleansing Gaza, which Trump proposed. They're saying it themselves. We enabled this. The ramifications of US support for these atrocities will be felt for generations.

Stating the obvious, but this is a really bad sign. Israel won’t offer steps to a permanent ceasefire and it was obvious Hamas would reject any deal without them. Fear it was all a pretext to justify escalation when Hamas inevitably said no — as designed. Echoes of July 1914.

This is categorically true.

The premise that the US and its allies and partners should be able to fight wars without feeling the retaliation just sort of crept into policy and is getting unsustainable.

New piece in FP:

I think the reality is in between: A majority of Americans clearly reject the Israeli government's war of annihilation that is being waged with US financing and US prestige, and that frustration is now bleeding into antagonism toward Israel itself (53% disapprove of Israel the

You can't separate the United States from Gaza. Israel's atrocities wouldn't be possible without Washington. No red lines, no consequences—only total impunity while sowing the seeds of future conflict. Every death is a casualty of US foreign policy.
