US Foreign Policy - Whose Interests Should It Serve? | David Woo

Biden says he will support Ukraine "as long as it takes" for it to win the war. For a country that Obama once declared was not a core US interest, why is Biden putting everything on the line for it, including risking a nuclear war? To understand the deepening US involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war, we need to understand the debate between realism and idealism in US foreign policy over the past 300 years. At the heart of the debate is whose interests US foreign policy is supposed to serve. A former top-ranked Wall Street global macro strategist tells it as it is. You may not agree with everything he says but he will make you reassess everything you thought you knew.
