It’s peace and prosperity vs war and impoverishment.
It is that simple, why the messaging can’t be that simple is beyond me.

Above is a link to a recent policy seminar put out by the Richard Nixon Foundation. It is an hour long but I found it interesting to listen to while I was doing some busy work.
They talked about how foreign policy is directly linked to national issues and problems. And that it has to be explained in those terms. Biden took 6 months after the Russian attack on Ukraine to even talk about it! And NOW he is sending billions of dollars to them.
And how America needs to have a strong economy - which is our best weapon.
I learned some interesting facts. Last year Iran’s GDP grew at a faster rate than the USA! Partly due to the USA getting rid of the sanctions on Iran (and Russian) oil, while imposing more restrictions on USA production!
The USA restrictions are in the name of climate control. But to keep the gas prices down we then allowed Iran and Russia to sell their oil. It is just crazy!
