Certainty and predictability. Thats the best way to make business decisions. Having the president make this controversial announcement, then indicate right away they may or may not be committed to it is not the kind of certainty Corporate America is looking for. Those are some of the broader impacts. Whats the potential impact inside his own administration, and for his own Press Secretary who has to go out and defend a policy shes not sure is etched in stone . Obviously shes in an impossible situation. I think what it does inside the white house, its corrosive to any effort to put in place a process to make decisions. Because people know that the Decision Making process is precarious at best, that theres never a final decision thats made and theres an opportunity to influence it at a variety of junctures or to go in and intervene with the president at the last minute. It means theres no coherent process in place and the result is you have decisions that are halfbaked at best. This has
bargain with hanoi then humphrey would. and it worked. with the peace talks stalled, and nixon won the election. the delay and subsequent expansion of the war cost 20,000 american lives and millions of vietnamese, laotian and cambodian lives. a similar thing happened in 1980 when the next democratic president was facing a foreign policy crisis of his own. good evening. the american embassy is in the hands of muslim students tonight, spurred on by an anti- american speech. they stormed the embassy, fought the marine guards for three hours, overpowered them and took dozens of american hostages. more than 50 americans are being americans were being held hostage and it was discovered his opponent set up a secret back channel of his own. john connell traveled to a
i actually thought that ron desantis is trying to he made civil appeals to her on a reaganesque kind of language. morning in america so he was kind of doing this. things are really tough but we can be optimistic, decline is a choice, american decline is not inevitable. and i think that you need that right now in a cold war with china. but i think he needs to flush out the concept. i agree with morgan on the ukraine issue. ron desantis said that he still supports ukraine but he wants you up to will help so he is the defensive of ukraine. it was vivek who really had to take a terrible evening on foreign policy where he really did seem to be pessimistic about america for america s future and weak on how he would handle the foreign policy crisis. we have been in a foreign policy disastrous cascade of national security crisis from afghanistan on and there s really only several candidates that captured that. nikki haley had a standout moment tonight on foreign policy because the american
surrogates about voters concerns about his age is to respond by saying with age comes wisdom and experience. because of that wisdom and experience that he s been able to enact major consequential pieces of economic legislation, navigated through a divided congress to deal with a foreign policy crisis on the scale of russia s invasion of ukraine, but we couldn t help but notice, especially in these last few weeks that the president himself seems to be trying to diffuse this issue by making light of it, and there s ample political precedent in doing so, yasmin. perhaps one of the great debate one liners in political history of this country is when ronald reagan running against walter make an issue of his opponent s youth and inexperience. we remember bob dole and john mccain running against decades younger candidates, trying to go on snl, on late night talk shows to diffuse this. so the president is doing this as well, and it is really something that they have found as you heard in th
blackmail attempts to produce unrest will fail. this is a story about a villainous war criminal, and a more villainous until their dramatic bust up this week was basically putin s military fixer carrying out brutal acts on the battlefield. ambassador mcfall, former ambassador to russia described them on saturday as events were unfolding as quote, two thugs. one of them, the leader of the wagner group, yevgeny prigozhin released a message today claiming he did not intend to overthrow the putin regime. the washington post adds this reporting, quote, prigozhin said in his video message that the rebellion, which he refers to as a, quote, march of justice, came after orders that would have resulted in the absorption of wagner mercenary forces in ukraine into the conventional military beginning july 1st. one of the biggest questions right now, what does it all mean for the largest land war in europe since world war ii and the biggest foreign policy
