Translation: The US can’t be the world’s policeman and we must deal with all kinds of unsavory regimes to advance our national interests. It is called Realpolitik. It is the exact opposite of Jimmy Carter’s human rights foreign policy that led us to crack down on our allies (like the Shah) and do little to our adversaries.

Yep. Finally an administration that has the guts to tell it like it is. In politics one has to deal with the lesser of evils -- always.

Yep. Realistic Foreign policy in America's interest, or #bringbackourgirls and other totally ineffectual--e.g., "global warming is more dangerous than ISIS"--"foreign policies."
