The great social philosopher and writer Irving Kristol once put it that foreign policy is not that difficult, all you need is a moral sense of right and wrong.  Of course, finding such people, especially as they are trained in today’s university, is increasingly difficult.  How refreshing, then, to see the foreign and defense policy of the United States shaping up as it is in the incoming Trump administration.

Anyone wanting a sense of our new foreign and defense strategy ought to watch the interview Dr. Sebastian Gorka gave to the Free Press this past weekend.  Gorka, long a national radio host with Salem, among other things, will be President Trump’s senior director for counter-terrorism at the White House National Security Council.  

In his interview, Gorka articulates a moral clarity and vision for our and our allies’ defenses that is perfect for our times, correcting so many misbegotten theories and foreign policy ideas of the past.  Gorka shows the ground as neither interventionalist nor isolationist. He’ll be a serious addition to a serious team.
