The Cincinnati Enquirer: on Foreign Policy
Jane Timken:
I will always work to advance policies that weaken Iran
America--and Israel--cannot afford Biden being wrong again when it comes to rejoining the Iran Nuclear Agreement. An Iran armed with nuclear weapons would pose an unacceptable danger to Israel and the United States. We must continue a policy that
prevents Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and holds them accountable for their support of terrorism. As a U.S. Senator, I will always work to advance policies that weaken Iran, not embolden them.

JD Vance:
Putin is a bad guy, but there's no Domino Theory in Europe
Some in favor [of US support of Ukraine] warn that unless the United States helps repel Russian invaders there, they will conquer Ukraine and Russian leader Vladmir Putin will then seek to take more of Europe, as Adolf Hitler did nearly nine decades
ago. Vance rejects the 'Domino Theory' in Europe: "The domino theory of politics that I guess probably goes back to the Vietnam War certainly was true in Iraq and now is definitely true with regards to Ukraine; there's kind of like this sense that we're
constantly back in the 1930s: if you don't stop the bad guy, he's going to keep on taking territory."Of the threat of Russian expansion into other European countries, Vance said: "We have to analyze these things in their own historical context.
And Vladimir Putin might be a bad guy, and in fact I think he is, but he's not nearly as powerful in relative terms as Hitler‘s Germany was in the late 1930s. So the idea that he poses a risk to the broader European continent is just absurd to me."
