From what I’ve seen of her, McFarland is a pure Reaganite in every way. She is not PC at all and often points out the dangers of Islamic terrorism. She’s got as sharp and clear a mind as anybody on international issues. This is not one of Fox’s bubbleheaded bobbleheads. She has said she sees Trump’s foreign policy as identical to Reagan’s, peace through strength, neither hawkish nor isolationist.
There can no more ‘monkey business’ in the Middle East like there’s been for the past 15 plus years with Saudi interests and Qatari interests foremost meaning no real solution to the terrorism since Saudis and Qataris fund it.
Bush genuflected to Saudi-Gulf Arab interests by waging the war in Iraq instead on them.
When the terrorist base was invaded in Afghanistan, their leader Bin-Laden found a safe haven in Pakistan, another terrorist creating nation responsible for the Taliban that gave Bin-Laden haven in Afghanistan.
And then this “Arab Spring” insanity of the Obama years bookmarked by an attempt to overthrow Iran’s government and a successful operation to overthrow Ukraine’s government leading to Russia’s seizure of Crimea, the Syrian intervention etc. etc.
