Foreign Policy
Israel, Ukraine, Russia, China, Iran — the global decisions debated at home.
American foreign policy is the rare arena where the conservative–liberal divide cuts across both parties. Realists, neoconservatives, restrainers, and progressive internationalists all argue past each other on the same questions: how to deter Russia, contain China, support or condition aid to Israel, manage Iran, navigate Taiwan. Bilateral covers each major decision with the strongest version of the case for action and the strongest case for restraint, so readers can see which assumptions actually drive the disagreement.
