I think the big issue on the table is Ukraine. Was it a mistake to seriously oppose Putin? Should we just have let him have it, as we let Putin have Crimea? And with respect to China, is Taiwan worth going to war over?
In either case, I don't think Trump would have made the choices Biden has made and has indicated he will make in the future. Would Trump have been right?

A basic question that has been overwhelmed by history is whether, in 1939, the allies made the right choice in deciding to go to war over Poland. Hitler didn't think they would and was shocked that they did. After his Poland campaign was won, he halted aggressive military operations for months. He did not put Germany and it's economy on a war footing. He waited for the allies to come to their senses. Could WW II have been avoided if we did what Hitler anticipated we sould do? What, after Munich, he could quite reasonably have assumed what we would do? It's an unanswered question, but it's also an unasked question. But it is a relevant question to ask today.

A basic approach to problems and the solving of them is to erect a wall around them. This takes a number of different forms but the idea is to isolate the issue to keep it from spreading and hope that either the problem will disappear or the barriers around it will prove effective. I don't want to discount this approach. Often times this is the best and even the only thing we cand do. In dynamic situations, problems do solve themselves.
We can think back on history for examples of problems we tried to isolate. In America, slavery comes to mind. In order to form our union we tried to ignore and then isolate the problem. It is a policy that failed ultimately, but which was successful for a long time.
We have a lot of problems today. Is the best solution to any or all of them, to isolate them, to manage them, or perhaps to ignore them altogether?

If Ukraine was the main point of contention in the USA, things would be much simpler.
Unfortunately Progressives seem to think that Tax Payers should protect / support everybody, no matter the choices those people made / make.
It's a matter of degree, but sure, should we withdraw from all of our commitments. Should we create a wall around the United States, figuratively and to some extent literally? The term for this is "autarky".
--Hiram
I will say, it is not inconceivable that we could maintain our commitments to areas where our security interests are more apparent and more vital. Ukraine is, after all, a foreign land of which we know nothing.

I am more interested in the DEM domestic policy personally.
On the federal level, nothing is going to happen in the next two years unless there is some sort of crisis.
At the state level, it will be interesting to see what form of extremist overreaching will emerge from a DFL controlled state government.

I have faith that the GOP House will waste time investigating what does not need investigating and covering up what should be punished. Thank God they did not take the Senate.
Yes I am scared of what the trifecta may pass !!! :-O
