Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : It includes many of the politicians that Applebaum, McFaul and Boot believe embody the best of America - those dedicated to supporting Ukraine and keeping Donald Trump from re-entering the White House - chief among them Joe Biden.
50% : She has not done so despite a Washington Post investigation in December that found that Israel has "conducted repeated and widespread airstrikes in proximity to hospitals", thus contributing to a public health catastrophe in which, according to the World Health Organization, only 15 of Gaza's 36 hospitals remain even partly functional.
39% : On 15 January, Post columnist Max Boot reminded readers that, according to the United Nations, Russia has killed more than 10,000 civilians in Ukraine.
32% : Why do commentators who write so passionately about the human rights abuses committed by Russia and other US adversaries find it so hard to oppose a war that, according to the United Nations, is putting half a million Palestinians at risk of starvation?
22% : To the contrary, they warn that under Donald Trump, the US could go over to the dark side and join the autocratic world.
19% : Whether or not one agrees with the policies that Applebaum, Boot and McFaul advocate in Eastern Europe and East Asia, they're aimed at defending liberal democracy - a commitment that extends to the United States, where all three writers staunchly oppose Donald Trump.
