Foreign Policy Wisdom

Historian Victor Davis Hanson, writing at National Review that the post-war order is over. He says much that is spot-on, but I particularly like this succinct judgment:

Just because Turkey says it is a NATO ally does not mean that it is, much less that it will be one in the future. Turkey is analogous to Pakistan, a country whose occasional usefulness to the U.S. does not suggest that it is either an ally or even usually friendly.

This disavowal has needed saying for ever so long.
