Jeffrey Sachs: Tulsi Gabbard’s Confirmation, and the Dangerous Global Chess Game Trump Is Winning

In this book, Fulbright critiques the justification for the Vietnam War, Congress’s failure to set limits on it, and the impulses that led to American involvement. He argues against the postwar habit of intervention and the tendency of great nations to equate power with virtue. The book is a protest against the war in Vietnam and a broader indictment of American foreign policy, emphasizing the importance of dissent and the need for the U.S. to focus on its own internal issues rather than trying to police the world[1][4][5].

In 'The Grand Chessboard,' Zbigniew K. Brzezinski presents a comprehensive vision for American preeminence in the post-Cold War era. The book emphasizes the importance of Eurasia as the central arena for global power struggles and argues that the United States must maintain its dominance in this region to ensure global primacy. Brzezinski divides Eurasia into four critical regions—Europe, Russia, Central Asia, and East Asia—and discusses the strategic implications for American foreign policy in each. He also addresses the challenges posed by emerging powers and the need for a balanced approach to maintain American hegemony while promoting global cooperation.
