Everett Stern:
Don't get into wars not in interest of US and allies
The cornerstone of Conservatism is to protect the United States and its interests. That means giving our military what it needs to do the job, the know-how, equipment and training to manage hundreds of bases, to defend against enemies wishing to do us
harm. To accomplish this, the US forms alliances with like-minded countries that share our interests and a desire to be open free democratic countries. It also means not getting into wars that are not in the interests of the US and our allies.

For leaving Afghanistan but Biden surrendered to Taliban

While he supported leaving Afghanistan, he strongly opposed the way President Biden surrendered to the Taliban and the tragedy that ensued with our soldiers.

Rick Saccone:
Establish foothold diplomatic presence in North Korea
Kim Jong-un's release of three Americans imprisoned for "proselytizing" and "unruly behavior." Why did North Korea negotiate these releases, and what do they mean for its broader relations with the United States? I'm afraid the Obama Administration is
so blind to North Korean culture that it is missing the signals and symbolism coming from this puzzling nation and its regime.Because we refuse to recognize diplomatic relations with North Korea, America has almost no official contact.
Our officials are reduced to guessing what North Korean intentions are based on partial conversations mediated through third parties.
We lack what we had during the former "Agreed Framework" under the Clinton Administration, which gave us a presence
inside the country to aid in understanding it. The Obama Administration needs to offer some type of foothold presence inside the country to build foundational relationships.
