How should a president decide whether to act against a dangerous regime like Iran? Through prudence, not ideology. I explain how Aristotle’s ideas about right reason, wisdom, and deliberation still apply to modern leadership. Decisions about war and peace aren’t slogans or “forever war” talking points—they require judgment, experience, and the willingness to confront reality. I break down the Constitution, the role of the commander in chief, the War Powers debate, the Iran nuclear threat, and why ideological thinking—from Marxism to isolationism—can lead to disaster. This is a deep dive into philosophy, foreign policy, and the real choices facing America and the free world today.
