GlobeAlert Desk · curated from Responsible Statecraft · North America
There is no debate as to why Donald Trump and the Republican Party suffered a historic and humiliating defeat at the polls on Tuesday: it all comes down to the Iran war and the cost-of-living crisis it has brought about. But lost in the conversation is that this was not just a rejection of the Iran war. It was also a repudiation of the broader foreign policy that repeatedly gets the U.S. into wars — or into supporting the wars and war crimes of U.S. partners. In many contests on Tuesday, the U.S.-Israel relationship was on the ballot too, and it was rejected by Republicans and Democrats alike
