BESIDES BEING BILLIONAIRES and spending much of their fortunes to promote pet causes, the leftist financier George Soros and the right-wing Koch brothers have little in common. They could be seen as polar opposites. Soros is an old-fashioned New Deal liberal. The Koch brothers are fire-breathing right-wingers who dream of cutting taxes and dismantling government. Now they have found something to agree on: the United States must end its “forever war” and adopt an entirely new foreign policy.
In one of the most remarkable partnerships in modern American political history, Soros and Charles Koch, the more active of the two brothers, are joining to finance a new foreign-policy think tank in Washington. It will promote an approach to the world based on diplomacy and restraint rather than threats, sanctions, and bombing. This is a radical notion in Washington, where every major think tank promotes some variant of neocon militarism or liberal interventionism. Soros and Koch are uniting to revive the fading vision of a peaceable United States. The street cred they bring from both ends of the political spectrum — along with the money they are providing — will make this new think tank an off-pitch voice for statesmanship amid a Washington chorus that promotes brinksmanship.
“This is big,” said Trita Parsi, former president of the National Iranian American Council and a co-founder of the new think tank. “It shows how important ending endless war is if they’re willing to put aside their differences and get together on this project. We are going to challenge the basis of American foreign policy in a way that has not been done in at least the last quarter-century.”

Yeah who buys this stuff?
They’re POS
Given that neither party is known to be even remotely antiwar, what’s their angle here?
In the movie, Jack Reacher, the villain is a disgusting, truly ugly man named “Zec,” who has one of those puke-worthy faces.
A horrible man...He is the picture of what George Schwartz/Soros looks like and is to me.
Hopefully, not long for this world.
None of them believe in the American way. War is not something any of us ‘want’ but unless we are willing to back up our play with force if necessary; we are nothing more than some feckless whore with no teeth.
Those knuckleheads need to learn history and what happens to those who just sit on their thumbs all day rotating without taking action as needed.
Their father was part of the Nazi party. That’s who gave them their wealth.
Why do I get the feeling that this is a different form of Anti-Trump?
Fascist, leftist, anti-American morons. Their kind are so slimy, that they refer to Jewish people and people who support Israel as “neocons.” They’re so full of hate, that they’re pushing for us to allow foreign enemies to nuke the U.S.A. in hopes that Israel will be nuked, too.
The Cato Institute is a Charles Koch hobby horse. If it had been up to the guy we’d have had to raise a posse to respond to 9/11. He does love open borders, though.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Right.
We prolly saw a roll out of the new soros/koch collaboration last week at the DNC debates.
Open borders, immediate benefits including health care for invaders, civil vs criminal violations for invader, guaranteed monthly income, drivers licence, voting rights........
Why waste time & money on “wars” when invading forces & their society weakening bio bombs can simply “wade the river”, register for motor voter, and take over the country at the ballot box.
SCOTUS referring gerrymandering to the states sets up more little Mogadishu congressional districts for migrant dominated communities.
More judicial activism & soros old trick of embedding local DA’s takes over justice at the neighborhood level. Expect to see more sharia compliant laws & law enforcement ala London (or EU model).
Given enough time, & popular vote control of the electoral college the globalist take control of the USA without firing a shot.
We saw a preview of the Koch/Soros partnership on stage last week.
“Get Ready”
One big uni-party of evil.
“I’m just praying President Trunp isn’t playing us.”
I am convinced this is not the case. The TDS is REAL. The known dimocrat left is throwing everything, including the kitchen sink, at him to take him down. The so called ‘republicans’ in government, with the exception of a few, aren’t lifting their fingers to help a bit. Hardly any of them even give any praise at his accomplishments. The UNI-PARTY is in full view. This is the same uni-party that knew and let the usurper take over.
“Trita Parsi, former president of the National Iranian American Council and a co-founder of the new think tank.”
Oy. The Clinton/Obama phoney. The Iranian regime must all have big smiles on their faces.
Goes to show no matter how much money you have, you can still be a fool.
The democrats got us into more conflicts than republicans did last century. I’m not downplaying legitimate wars.
“....Soros is an old-fashioned New Deal liberal.....”
Click.
Your statement is mind boggling ignorance. Simply because the Kochs don’t like Trump does not mean they and Soros are the same. But then again, FR is not the place I go to for intellectual stimulation.
Soros’ son is just as bad if not worse.
Honest go God, the Boston Globe thinks they can get away with such a bizarre fabrication?
Soros is farther left than Stalin. He's farther left than Hitler. And he's just as genocidal as both.
“George Soros and Charles Koch team up”
End times, one-world crap.
What a Kroch.
Thanks for shopping, Mrs. Koch.
