Retired US army general likens Trump foreign policy to Dolly Parton song

"I'm a big fan of Dolly Parton – do you remember her song Jolene?" McChrystal replied, referring to the country star's Grammy-nominated 1973 hit. "This poor wife says, 'Jolene, please don't take my man; don't take him just because you can.  

"And that's what worries me – I think we might be in a period where we think what we can do, we should do because we can. And I think the world is starting to view us that way."…

Trump’s UN speech: Five takeaways from the yearly foreign policy address | CNN Politics

He addressed the most pressing foreign conflicts — the wars in Ukraine and Gaza — only in passing, instead reserving most of his speech to bemoan efforts to combat climate change, tout his own approach to world issues and take swipes at his predecessor (he used former President Joe Biden's name six times in the speech). 

 "I'm really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell," he said at one point while talking about migration, a sentiment that neatly summed up the thesis of his speech…

Is Zohran Mamdani the Future of the Left - Plus the Fate of the Middle East (The Find Out podcast)

In our first two-part episode, we kick things off with a massive W for progressives: Zohran Mamdani’s win over Andrew Cuomo didn’t just shock the system—it shattered the illusion that establishment democrats are untouchable. It’s a crucial moment that could reshape democratic politics ahead of two incredibly consequential election cycles.

Then, journalist (and expert on the Middle East) Dan Perry joins us to explore Trump’s escalation with Iran. Does he have a plan? Or is this just more foreign policy roulette?

Is Trump Good for Israel? (John Donvan; Open to Debate podcast)

Many Israelis celebrated Donald Trump’s election victory and view him as an unparalleled ally. His first term solidified that perception: he recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital by moving the U.S. embassy there and brokered the historic Abraham Accords. To them, Trump understood Israel’s security concerns, international challenges, and sovereign aspirations.

That belief persists into his second term. So far, he’s backed Israel militarily in its war with Hamas and suggested ideas like evacuating Palestinians from Gaza. Supporters argue that Trump’s alignment with Israel is deep-rooted and enduring. But critics view his support as transactional, not ideological — subject to change if broader U.S. interests, such as relations with Iran, come into play. They also note his wavering commitment to resolving the Gaza conflict, citing recent remarks that suggest a lack of interest in pushing for peace. Some argue his resistance to a two-state solution ensures long-term regional instability.

As Israel navigates a volatile geopolitical landscape, Trump’s role remains divisive. Is his support a genuine strategic partnership—or one driven more by political convenience than principle? We ask: Is Trump Good for Israel?

This release is the first installment of our inaugural foreign policy debate summit: The Trump Doctrine: A Global Reckoning?— a three-part series examining how Donald Trump’s foreign policy in his second term is reshaping U.S. relations with Russia, Europe, and the Middle East.
