DETROIT, MI — If voters needed another reminder of how completely out of touch radical left-wing candidates are with the harsh realities of global security, Michigan Democratic Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed provided a masterclass this week.
Appearing in an interview with Mid-Michigan Now, El-Sayed laid out his radical foreign policy vision, declaring that America's primary role on the global stage should be acting as "the principal upholder of international law".
True to form for the progressive playbook, El-Sayed directed his fire not at hostile foreign adversaries or terrorist proxy networks like the Iranian-backed Houthis, but rather at American leadership. Railing against executive authority, he demanded an immediate war powers resolution to strip the administration of its ability to counter mounting foreign threats, sneeringly attacking the President.
"We need a war powers resolution that is going to strip this administration from continuing to force us into the folly of this stupid war," El-Sayed whined, claiming that presidents "get to make war" because they are "too dumb to get us out".
Never mind that while El-Sayed lectures about international tribunals and global rules, Iran and its regional proxies are actively threatening global energy corridors and maritime trade. Instead of standing with sovereign allies who keep the world's shipping lanes open, El-Sayed proposed defunding key democratic partners, arguing that taxpayers shouldn't be "subsidizing foreign militaries unconditionally, places like Israel and Egypt and Saudi Arabia".
"I pay my tax dollars so that my kids get good schools, rather than dropping bombs on other people or subsidizing tanks for foreign militaries," El-Sayed claimed.
Apparently, in the utopian fantasy of the radical left, pulling the rug out from under America's strongest strategic partners while hiding behind multilateral governance is a viable strategy for world peace. But as hardworking Americans and America First leaders know all too well, security isn't maintained by bowing to international bureaucrats—it is secured through unshakeable strength, national sovereignty, and peace through strength.
