Nov 18, 2024 | 10:01 amDonald Trump's first term as president was the best thing that ever happened to MSNBC.

WATCH: Trump Foreign Policy Picks Are ‘Dream Team’ for Israel
Nov 17, 2024 | 11:00 amJERUSALEM—Donald Trump named more than half a dozen pro-Israel hawks to key foreign policy roles this week, reassuring Israelis that the president-elect’s incoming administration will be as supportive as his first.

Sleeping With the Enemy
Nov 17, 2024 | 10:01 amIf Martha Dodd Stern had been a minimally important or competent Soviet spy, her story would make a rip-roaring Hollywood movie. But despite Brendan McNally’s effort to inflate the damage she did to American interests—Traitor’s Odyssey: The Untold Story of Martha Dodd and a Strange Saga of Soviet Espionage—the fact remains that her career as a spy was relatively brief and largely unsuccessful. Soviet intelligence agencies had high hopes for her, mostly because of her[…]

Mesopotamia Through the Millennia
Nov 17, 2024 | 10:00 amIn the years on either side of General Petraeus’s surge (2008) I spent many a month living in Baghdad covering culture for the Wall Street Journal’s arts section. That meant abiding not in the secure Green Zone but out among the locals—very rare for outsiders—unarmed, unembedded, and frequently exposed to the city’s turbulence in search of stories: the last art gallery in Baghdad, the Iraq Symphony Orchestra, the embattled Ballet School, historical sites, and much[…]

Rubio and the Return of the Monroe Doctrine
Nov 16, 2024 | 10:00 amPresident-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday tapped Florida senator Marco Rubio (R.) to lead the State Department. Rubio is, among other things, a full-spectrum opponent of China's nefarious activities, and the news of his nomination dismayed the soft-on-China crowd. He is also tough on Iran and should focus America's diplomats on promoting the nation's interests rather than exporting the culture wars. But Rubio's most distinctive foreign policy contribution is likely to be in Latin America, where[…]

The Real Reason Harris Lost
Nov 15, 2024 | 21:30 pmKamala Harris's stunning defeat in the 2024 election left many Democrats searching for an explanation. Some blamed the racism and misogyny of Latino men, while others suggested (correctly) that Democrats were hopelessly out of touch with normal Americans.
