Treating adversaries better than allies is a recipe for isolation

Original: Opinion | Treating adversaries better than allies is a recipe for isolation

The Washington Post published an opinion piece arguing that a foreign policy which gives adversaries better treatment than longstanding allies ultimately leads to diplomatic isolation. The piece contends that alienating friendly nations while courting rivals undermines trust and weakens a country's global standing. The argument reflects ongoing debate over how major powers balance relations with partners against engagement with hostile states.

Why now: Ongoing debate over the direction of foreign policy and alliance management is drawing attention to this argument.
