Robert Reich
I can't overstate the worry I find in the rest of the world about the possibility that either Donald Trump or Ted Cruz could be our next president.
That's because Trump’s foreign policy is crackpot isolationism: Build a fence along America’s southern border (financed by Mexico), keep Muslims out of America, let Japan and South Korea build their own nuclear weapons to protect themselves against North Korea and China, and defund NATO.
By contrast, Cruz’s foreign policy is crackpot war: "Carpet bomb [the Islamic state] into oblivion."
The Republican Party used to have foreign policy strategists who thought deeply about America's place in the world. You might have disagreed with Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger, for example, but they at least viewed foreign policy as a serious undertaking. Now the Republican Party offers nothing but simplistic crackpot ideas.
No wonder the rest of the world is worried.

This blog will focus on political images I have found all around the Internet, though I will intersperse some commentary and quotes that I find interesting.
