The “Department of War” Is Designed to Fight American Citizens
['Jonathan V. Last']
The Bulwark
QuanticoThere is an inherent tension in MAGA between the obsession with “warriors,” and “war fighting,” and “lethality,” and the “Department of War” on one hand, and the “no more wars,” “we ain’t the world’s policeman,” America First isolationism on the other.
The America First foreign policy doctrine is one of malign isolationism: It courts strategic adversaries, so as not to antagonize them.
And it antagonizes our allies in order to make sure they know they cannot count on our assistance.
