Writing in the\u00a0Washington Post\u00a0, pro-war columnist\u00a0Josh Rogin\u00a0appeared relieved that Joe Biden picked Kamala Harris as his running mate for November\u2014as opposed to a progressive like Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders, who would have called for cutting military budgets, fewer US interventions and the withdrawal of troops stationed abroad. Biden and Harris, he explained, will together pursue a \u201crobust\u201d foreign policy agenda.<\/p>\n
Harris is described approvingly by one source as \u201cpragmatic\u201d (another media codeword\u2014FAIR.org,\u00a08\/21\/19), and together, Rogin notes, she and Biden can prove that \u201cmuscular liberalism is still the right approach.\u201d What that actually means in practice, he is a little vague on, though he does suggest that will entail \u201caggressively\u201d \u201cconfronting\u201d nuclear powers Russia and China.\u00a0<\/p>\n
