The Liberal Alliance Confronts the Axis of Resistance

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : NATO membership -- in tandem with European Union membership -- would put Ukraine beyond Putin's military and economic reach.
57% : No wonder the Saudis have signaled their continued desire for American protection and normal relations with Israel, that EU membership for Ukraine is on a fast track, and that NATO's members have agreed that Ukraine will join.
44% : By truckling to Putin in public and delaying military aid to Ukraine in private, Trump may have contributed to Putin's overconfidence.
39% : It was Trump who let attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities go unanswered in 2019, diminishing the Saudis' confidence in American protection and increasing the Iranians' sense of impunity.
39% : Although he might be able to push ahead with an Israeli-Saudi deal (his record negotiating the Abraham Accords was a bright spot), that deal will require deft handling of the Palestinian issue, in which Trump has shown no interest.
38% : In his 2024 campaign, Trump has gone much further than he did in the past toward repudiating America's commitment to NATO.
37% : By sowing doubt about America's commitment to NATO, and by implying that any U.S. commitment is purely transactional, Trump undermined confidence in the Alliance.
36% : By scrapping an agreement to freeze Iran's nuclear program, Trump eased the way for Iran to reach the weapons threshold.
23% : There may be something to that charge, even though the Afghanistan withdrawal was negotiated and sealed by Trump, not Biden.
