Does the Iran Strike = "America First?"

About this episode

What does America First mean when it comes to foreign policy? Because no one seems to know and it really feels like we should. Is America First isolation? Is it an Empire which we control and use? Is it whatever serves US interests and who decides that? That is what we will discuss today. SPONSOR: American Financing American Financing is helping homeowners pay off that high interest debt.
