Elizabeth Shackelford weighs in on how the United States might respond to conflicts in Israel, Gaza, and Ukraine.

The biggest obstacle to American understanding of China appears to be Washington’s seeming determination to misunderstand it, Paul Heer argues.

"Once you start down this road, you better know where it's going to end," Ivo Daalder says with Alicia Menendez.

"Because US support for Ukraine is now squarely associated with Biden as his signature foreign policy achievement to date, it makes it a partisan issue," Paul Poast explains.

"President Biden simply cannot provide new aid for Ukraine and Israel unless Congress provides that money through appropriations legislations," Jordan Tama explains.

"MAGA Republicans are playing into the perception that foreign crises are soaking up scarce dollars that could be used at home," Paul Poast writes.

"Fury on the Arab streets has now made the prospect of escalation more likely," writes Ivo Daalder.

"A military solution alone will, at best, postpone the next outbreak of violence," says Elizabeth Shackelford.

"A China beginning to lose the underpinnings of its new-found international influence could prove even more dangerous," John Austin writes.

"What you're seeing on both sides of the border there right now is just complete despair," says Cécile Shea.
