The race for Biden’s foreign policy agenda
Progressives must, therefore, make a concerted effort at real influence in a Biden administration and at narrowing the space for the Never Trumpers.

There’s a more constructive way forward that doesn’t involve the military or incendiary rhetoric.
As the Democratic Party continues to shift left on issues related to Israel and Palestine, will Joe Biden resist?
“The fundamental problem with U.S. policy toward Iran has been a ridiculous inflation of Iran’s importance to the United States.”
If Israeli governments come to believe there is no price whatever to be paid by them for denying Palestinian statehood, they will never allow Palestinian statehood nor end their occupation.
The U.S. should fully withdraw its forces from Syria and use its remaining leverage to facilitate diplomacy between Syria’s neighbors that are heavily enmeshed in the civil war.
Speaking in a web broadcast organized by the so-called Democratic Majority for Israel, Blinken stated bluntly that Biden “would not tie military assistance to Israel to any political decisions it makes, full stop.”
No one believes for a moment that any plea for mercy, let alone a call for justice, for the Palestinians will be met with anything but mockery by the Trump administration. But it is possible to move Biden.
A cold war is heating up with China, particularly after a new report that Joe Biden is going to try to — mistakenly — try to out-hawk Trump.
If there’s a silver lining to Israel’s impending annexation of the West Bank, it’s that it will force the world confront more directly the reality of what Israel has been doing in the occupied territories.
Joe Biden and some of his supporting super PACs are choosing to adopt, rather than challenge, the anti-China premise of the Trump campaign’s attacks.
Biden will lose the argument on China if he tries to run to Trump’s right.
Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden are saying the right things on foreign policy, but they’re not talking as much about how they’ll work within the confines of the United Nations.
The former vice president also doesn’t have much to say about the Obama administration’s foreign policy failures.
Biden adopts quite a restrained stance toward China relative to much of the rhetoric that has been generated by the foreign policy community for the past several years.
