Ken Harbaugh and David Bellavia take on Trump's latest — scaling back joint exercises with South Korea over his relationship with Kim Jong Un, and threatening to bomb Oman if it gets in the way of Strait of Hormuz talks.
David calls it shocking and alarming but argues there's a logic buried underneath the chaos — stop North Korea from sending troops to Ukraine and get South Korea back on side. Ken pushes deeper into whether American foreign policy should be values-driven or purely transactional.
They also cover nuclear proliferation and why every country on earth just learned they need a nuke, Saudi Arabia's nuclear capability, the mess of Middle East alliances where even supposed partners are playing both sides, and the USS Lincoln — where crews are breaking down after months at sea with no relief and no end state.
👇 Who are America's real allies right now? Tell us in the comments.
