“What would happen if we walked away?” President Biden asked in an Oval Office address Thursday night. At one time, such a question would be merely rhetorical, with wide agreement that the United States is, as Mr. Biden put it, the “essential nation.”

Delivered at what he appropriately called an inflection point in history, the president’s comments reflect the risk that the United States might abandon its friends, as wars rage in Ukraine and Israel. There is broad support for both countries among the U.S. electorate. A generation of Americans who came of age around 9/11 is wary of more “forever wars,” however. Increasingly isolationist Republicans argue that U.S. resources might be better spent on this continent — 117 House Republicans voted against the most recent Ukraine aid package.

I’d be careful making that leap. Shitty Steak Fridays are a real thing.
