“Democrats would rather not talk about national defense. It’s a rather remarkable place for the party and its wonks to find themselves today. Four years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine inaugurated the most intense period of conventional military conflict in living memory—and on the doorstep of America’s longest and, until President Trump’s return to the White House fifteen months ago, strongest alliance—Democrats and sympathetic commentators on the broad center-left in the United States still cannot bring themselves to think much about questions surrounding hard power and the use of force.” (04/14/26)
