Foreign Affairs This Column Is Not About Trump’s Foreign Policy Does this sound familiar? NORBERT SCHILLER/AFP via Getty Images The leader of a major nation decided to launch an assault on the Islamic Republic of Iran after observing its recent bouts of internal disorder. That leader, backed by pliant and corrupt political elites largely drawn from his own social circles, didn’t seem to have given much thought to strategy or tactics; his plan was just to project overwhelming force into Iranian territory and wait for the regime to collapse. He was surprised to encounter a foe who fought back with ferocity, ingenuity,…Open

VIDEO SYNTHESIS / President Trump called his European NATO allies “cowards” for their lack of enthusiasm about a new ForeverWar in the Middle East. Yet I think 75% of the US’s signalling over this war isn’t targeted at the US’s allies — or even Iran. Instead, I suspect the primary intended audience of these declarations is the American people itself — specifically MAGA. And that’s because there’s a real sensitivity that approval will rapidly evaporate if the war drags on. Especially if the US sends “boots on the ground” and body bags start to get shipped back in large numbers.

Foreign Affairs Never for War My veteran father taught me not to get swept away by military fervor. I was about two months shy of my eighth birthday when the Gulf War began in January 1991, but my memory of it, and of my father’s stern admonition against war-making in general and that war in particular, left me with enough antiwar spirit to last a lifetime. As improbable as it may sound, given how young I was, I still remember the eruption of the war on the television in my family’s living room. The personages on our side were rather memorable: Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, TV reporters Peter Arnett and Arthur Kent, singer Whitney…Open

Foreign Affairs Not So ‘Mission Accomplished’? The Iran intervention could well turn into an open-ended misadventure. (CARLOS BARRIA/POOL/AFP via Getty Images) In the wake of the 1991 Gulf War victory, then-President George H.W. Bush rode on a wave of public opinion that would not carry him to reelection. Celebrating the recent victory in Kuwait, he uttered one of the most famous remarks of his administration : “It’s a proud day for America. And, by God, we’ve kicked the Vietnam syndrome once and for all.” American wariness over war stemmed from the quagmire that was Vietnam, along with its domestic protest…Open
