Foreign Policy

On Monday’s installment of Late Night on NBC, left-wing host Seth Meyers freaked out over Fox ’s Maria Bartiromo accurately pointing out that despite all the rhetoric coming from President Biden, he is still partnering with Vladimir Putin on significant issues. Of course, Meyers never actually refuted the claim.

Oh, for the good old days of the Soviet Union. America’s foreign policy and goals were clear then: containment and opposition to communist expansion. Nuclear weapons were a deterrent, but neither side believed the other would use them. Russian President Vladimir Putin has changed the game by threatening to use nukes should the U.S. directly confront his forces now raping Ukraine and…

According to MSNBC’s The 11th Hour host Stephanie Ruhle and Washington correspondent Yamiche Alcindor, President Biden took a huge risk on Tuesday when he announced that the U.S. would ban the importation of Russian oil. The risk being that Republicans will say they support the move while also blaming him for high gas prices.

Before President Biden gave a speech on Tuesday announcing the ban of Russian oil imports, the cast of At This Hour on CNN warned that gas prices will go up and that Biden has no good options to fix that problem -- as if his own policies have no impact on the situation.

Tiffany Cross, the namesake host of The Cross Connection, became the latest MSNBC personality to compare Ukraine’s literal war of survival to the alleged “rampant voter suppression” in America on her Saturday show during an interview with Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal.

MSNBC PoliticsNation host Al Sharpton prepared for the 57th anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama, by joining MTP Daily host Chuck Todd on Friday where both he and Todd lamented that President Biden did not use his Tuesday State of the Union address to tie the fight for “voting rights” to Ukrainians’ fight for freedom.

After the end of the Cold War, foreign policy experts across the spectrum assured us that things had changed. Wars of pure border conquest were over. Wars over oil would soon be a thing of the past. Instead, the increasingly intertwined world would move toward peace. Thomas Friedman suggested in his massive 1999 bestseller “The Lexus and the Olive Tree” that no two countries with McDonald's…

After Wednesday’s installment of The Daily Show on Comedy Central, host Trevor Noah should wonder if he has good job security because an appearance by Stacey Abrams was more hilarious than anything Noah has ever done. Abrams unintentional joke: that she and her “voting rights” movement are comparable to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and ordinary Ukrainians fighting for their freedom…

On Wednesday morning’s MSNBC Reports, Washington correspondent Yamiche Alcindor pushed the view of leftist Democrats who were unhappy that President Biden did not use his State of the Union address to tie Ukraine’s fight for national survival to the fight for democracy here at home.

Immediately after Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds gave the GOP response to President Biden’s Tuesday night State of the Union address, CNN chief political correspondent Dana Bash defended Biden from attacks from Reynolds on his Russia record.

CNN didn’t waste any time heaping praise on President Biden for his State of the Union address on Tuesday night with Jake Tapper proclaiming his performance was “quintessential Biden” and Van Jones declaring that “Uncle Joe is back”

Presidential historian, sometimes Biden speechwriter, and frequent MSNBC Jon Meacham joined The 11th Hour on Friday to recap what turned out to be a very eventful week. For Meacham, the week both the defense of Ukraine and the nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court are critically important for democracy, just like winning World War II.

Along with his co-hosts for Showtime's The Circus, MSNBC’s John Heilemann traveled over to CBS's The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday night to falsely claim in a twisted train of thought that Republicans and the 2016 election are to blame for Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine and that Russian President Vladimir Putin is using the moment to weaken…

As Russia continued preparations to invade Ukraine on President Biden's watch, on Tuesday, MSNBC’s Morning Joe bizarrely tried to point a finger of blame at former President Trump instead. Hosts and pundits claimed the only reason Vladimir Putin didn’t further dismember the eastern European nation during Trump's presidency was because the Republican already gave Putin everything he…
