Toward a New Realism in Foreign Policy

Dr. Veltmeyer takes on U.S. foreign policy in this episode, challenging the neo-conservative vision of the world in the post-Cold War era. He argues for the America-First policy of President Trump and America's founders who opposed unnecessary foreign entanglements, alliances, and wars. He argues that endless U.S. intervention abroad from Afghanistan to Iraq, from Bosnia to Serbia, from Libya to Syria only bleeds our national treasure and sacrifices the best of our fighting men and women and results only in additional  political and economic destabilization abroad.
