Dear Mr. Kristol,
Nice try with the motte-and-bailey routine. The "motte" is that Iran must not get nuclear weapons, a point nearly everyone agrees on. But the "bailey" you're really defending is that we should intervene and force Iran to become a liberal democracy.
Rejecting globalism is not the same as isolationism. "America First" means protecting U.S. interests with strength. Neutralizing Iran's offensive threat without dragging us into another nation-building fiasco would be a textbook example of "America First."
But let's switch topics.
I've been digging into the history of globalist "successes." One recurring theme is how elite efforts to democratize foreign regimes often lead to the opposite of what was promised. Look at Russia in the 90s: after the fall of USSR, Western NGOs rushed to make a liberal democracy out of Russia.
They enriched oligarchs, fueled resentment, and laid the groundwork for the rise of Putin. But nobody speaks of this history. Globalists swept this under the rug, without any accountability. The same thing is happening in South America, but I digress.
Let's pivot to Afghanistan, a failure that became too publicized to hide.
After 2001, we launched a war that cost thousands of American lives and left tens of thousands more wounded. Hundreds of thousands of Afghan civilians died, millions more became refugees. But there was a moment of hope: the drafting of Afghanistan's 2004 constitution.
The Journal of Democracy, the flagship publication of the NED (our quasi-governmental soft-power front), published an article by Barnett Rubin noscriptd "Crafting a Constitution for Afghanistan." Rubin, who advised the UN during the process, openly admits that this constitution was written not by Afghans, but by NGOs, foreign governments, and elite consultants.
Apparently, democracy doesn't mean government by the poeple. But... let's look at the end of the article.
"My work on Afghanistan's constitution has been supported by the Open Society Institute."
So the man who helped draft Afghanistan's new government, and documented it for America's own soft-power journal, gives full credit to George Soros for funding the process.
Let that sink in.
The UN's constitutional adviser in a U.S.-backed war zone was financially backed by Soros. And we wonder why the effort failed.
So take note:
America First is very much alive.
But the Open Society's ideology of NGO-run democratization is dead. It failed in Afghanistan. It failed in Russia. It failed in Iraq. It fails wherever it's imposed.
It's now up to the MAGA movement to give it a proper burial.

I don't have any words of wisdom tonight. What President Trump did was a powerful show of strength. But we don't know how Iran will respond.
But I think, President Trump vindicated himself either way. If Iran doesn't respond, then it ends here and we all move on. If Iran responds, then that is an extraordinarily foolish thing to do and validates that they are too insane to be trusted with serious offensive capabilities.
I'm praying for a quick resolution and peace, as always.

Yes. Trump went an entire 4 years being told that Iran was about to build a weapon NEXT WEEK and didn't bomb them.
Vance alluded on X that a lot had changed since Tulsi's testimony in March.
At some point, you have to trust they have access to information that we don't have.

Hello Senator Schiff,
Please don’t confuse the fact that you weren’t shown certain evidence with the idea that no evidence exists. You were never going to see it, and you know exactly why.
You repeatedly leaked classified information. Even Kevin McCarthy found your behavior so reckless that he removed you from the Intelligence Committee, along with Eric Swalwell, who was compromised by a Chinese spy. Donald Trump called you the biggest leaker in Washington, and few disagreed.
Now you’re demanding access to sensitive intelligence, as if anyone believes you’d handle it responsibly. Thank God you didn’t get it, because history says it would have ended up in Iranian hands.
Instead of throwing a tantrum over not being consulted, you should count your blessings. You’re lucky you aren’t in jail right now.

Democrats do not have a leaking problem. Democrats have a foreign operative problem. Change my mind.

Hello Senator Graham,
We get it. You love war. You jump at any chance to bang the drums for another "democracy-building" war.
So let's talk about something you probably hoped stayed buried. One of Hunter Biden's leaked emails reveals Liz Schrayer, the CEO of USGLC and former AIPAC National Director, personally asked him to host a fundraiser for your re-election. And the reason why: because you were such a reliable champion against cuts to USAID.
Apparently, not cutting USAID transcends party lines such that Biden's son was asked to host your fundraiser.
Fast forward to 2025. Now, you claim to back President Trump in cutting USAID. Interesting pivot for someone who was publicly honored, multiple times, for defending USAID.
So which is it?
Were you blindly cheering on USAID spending without understanding how it works?
Or were you fully aware that USAID funnels money to corrupt NGOs and elites under the pretense of "democracy promotion?"
I'm betting it's the latter, because your record is so consisten

Doutaghi is a member of Samidoun, one of the organizations who stormed Penn Station yesterday. Both United States and Canada have declared Samidoun to be terrorist groups. Doutaghi claimed it was a smear without evidence, but in reality, Samidoun's own website declared her to be a member.
Samidoun is financed by the Alliance for Global Justice (EIN 52-2094677). Last year, the Ways and Means committee called on the Biden administration to revoke its nonprofit status but the Biden administration did nothing.
Why are we permitting terrorist groups to study and protest in the United States?

And why is it evidently legal to be a nonprofit which funnels money into terrorist groups? @RepLuna waysandmeans.house.gov/2024/10/16/tre…

Well, well, this is interesting intel from @JamesHartline . Alexander Soros single-handedly credited Adam Schiff with preserving American democracy. And if you read between the lines... maybe even delivering the 2020 election to Biden.
But what is Adam Schiff actually known for? Leaking classified information.
If Alex Soros is right, then Schiff wasn't being careless. Schiff was running interference for unknown masters. Who are they? I don't know yet. But I hope to find out.
No wonder Joe Biden's autopen pardoned him.

I don’t know if this makes sense, and maybe I’m being naive, but here’s maybe a perspective framing. Every single recent President has done airstrikes. Obama bombed a hospital and had to apologize for it. None of those escalated into WW3.
The only one that came close was the 2017 MOAB which also caused a good number of my fellow MAGA friends to panic.
How much of the framing we’re experiencing is due to the media amplifying it as a policy failure? How much of our anxiety is due to us paying attention to every step President Trump makes and praying it is not going to be another Bush?
I’d argue that between distorted media framing, and going through four years of President Trump already, and Trump surrounding himself with foreign policy realists, gives some cause for optimism that we aren’t entering a new war.

Take note, GOP.
Discard the conventional wisdom of defending your seat through pork spending for your district.
Just run hard with mass deportations.
Moderation is the losing stance.
