The U.S. lacks a coherent strategy, relies on coercion over diplomacy, and its double standards erode moral leadership and global influence.

Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:

1. What is your perspective on the lack of a coherent U.S. grand strategy and its impact on global stability?

2. How do you assess the role of diplomacy in current U.S. foreign policy, especially in negotiations with countries like Iran?

3. Do you believe the United States can regain moral leadership in international affairs given its current policies?

Chas Freeman:

1. The U.S. lacks a clear strategy, with shifting goals and no consistent policy framework, leading to chaos and instability.

2. Diplomacy has been replaced by coercion and ultimatums rather than mutual understanding and negotiation.

3. The double standards in U.S. foreign policy, such as supporting Israel’s actions in Gaza while condemning others, undermine its moral standing.

Larry Wilkerson:

1. There is no functional interagency process guiding U.S. foreign policy, resulting in incoherent and contradictory actions globally.

2. The absence of empathy and imagination in leadership has eroded effective diplomacy and strategic thinking.

3. The U.S. is isolating itself further by clinging to dominance while its relative power declines, accelerating its loss of global influence.
