If recent history is a guide, when the Democratic presidential candidates meet this Thursday for their their debate there will be little of no discussion on foreign policy. It seems that both the candidates and the Democratic electorate are not interested in foreign policy. I have news for them, soon foreign policy will be interested in them.
Just look at the world Trump is leaving for them. NATO is in disarray, the trade war with China is morphing into something much bigger, Hong Kong could soon turn into a bloodbath, Israel and Hezbollah are about to go to war in Lebanon, Iran has resumed its nuclear program and North Korea continues to expand both its rocket and nuclear programs. And if this isn't enough nuclear armed India and Pakistan are at each other's throats over the Kashmir.
So if I were George Stephanopoulos, ABC's lead moderator, I would be prepping foreign policy questions. My guess is that before the first votes are cast in Iowa foreign policy will move to the top of mind of more than a few voters.
