#410 โ€“ Ben Shapiro vs Destiny Debate: Politics, Jan 6, Israel, Ukraine & Wokeism

A little bit, yeah. I think on the macro, I agree. Maybe we get at the weasel a little bit on some things. On the final thing that he said, though, I wish that Americans could have honest conversations about foreign policy. I think that it would just be better for everybody.

I don't know if it's Red Scare after the Cold War, where it was literally the behemoths were fighting against communism, and we felt like after 91, every single foreign policy decision needs to be able to be explained correctly. in like seven words, like he's the bad guy and that's it.

#410 โ€“ Ben Shapiro vs Destiny Debate: Politics, Jan 6, Israel, Ukraine & Wokeism

I wish we had more honest conversations about what our foreign policy interest is in a particular region, because I don't think most Americans honestly could even articulate why Israel would be an important ally or why it's important to defend Ukraine against Russia, or why should we care about Taiwan at all? I don't know if most Americans could articulate anything there,

even though they might have very strong opinions about why we ought to be involved in certain conflicts. So I do agree with that. I wish we had more honest conversations about foreign policy. In terms of how Biden has handled Ukraine, the things that I liked the most were, one, that he was very clear in the beginning about what we wouldn't do.

So Biden saying that we're not going to do, not a red line, no-fly zones over Ukraine. We're not going to be deploying troops on the ground in Ukraine. We're not going to be doing Anything that would have US soldiers and Russian soldiers crossing swords with each other, that's not going to happen. I like that he made that very clear at the beginning.

And I like that he coalition built between NATO and the EU to get people to send funds, training, soldiers, airplanes, and everything to Ukraine. I thought those two things were really good. In terms of basically writing Zelensky a blank check,

I would like to hope that Biden and the entire United States learned a lesson from Iraq and Afghanistan that open-ended missions with unlimited budgets and no clear goal are like the worst foreign policy decisions you can ever do. They've like defined US foreign policy for the past two or three decades, which is unfortunate, but seems to be the case.
