Democrats need a foreign policy
Trump’s approach to the world has left Republicans floundering as the midterms approach. Liberals should plan their own strategy now

“Sea Change” by @ranaforoohar.bsky.social is an important read. Russia & China have ~60 icebreakers; the US 3, Canada 18. Canada is investing heavily in Arctic defence. As Arctic routes offer alternatives to Hormuz, Suez & Panama, defending our Arctic sovereignty is vital to 🇨🇦's security and trade.

The Arctic is the microcosm for the American trade paradigm. I sat down with @stephruhle.bsky.social at @ms.now to explain how Chinese and Russian trade routes in the North Pole threaten American dominance. My new book on this, #SeaChange, is out now at prh.com/seachange
