Treating adversaries better than allies is a recipe for isolation
Original: Opinion | Treating adversaries better than allies is a recipe for isolation
A Washington Post opinion column argues that a foreign policy which rewards adversaries while taking allies for granted ultimately leaves a country isolated. The piece contends that siding with rivals over long-standing partners erodes trust, pushes friendly nations to hedge or look elsewhere, and weakens a state's own influence. The argument is resonating amid ongoing debates about alliance management and great-power competition.
Why now: Debates over how the US balances relationships with allies versus adversaries like Russia and China are currently prominent in foreign policy discussion.
