10/23/20 Daniel Davis: Trump vs. Biden on Foreign Policy - a podcast by Scott Horton

Daniel Davis is back, this time for a discussion of Trump and Biden’s foreign policy positions in light of last night’s presidential debate. Overall Davis thinks it’s good that Trump hasn’t started any new wars—unlike all of his recent predecessors—but is disappointed by the extent to which he has been unable to put his antiwar campaign promises into practice. Davis think Trump made good strides toward peace with North Korea, something that Biden predictably attacked him for during the debate. This is one signal that Biden, along with the rest of the establishment, would seek a return to “normalcy” should he win the presidency—meaning a return to the disastrous and hawkish foreign policy consensus that has been getting America into so much trouble for decades.
