America is being warned by seasoned patriots that the world is shifting beneath our feet, and we would be foolish to look away. Retired Gen. Jack Keane, a respected strategic analyst, told viewers on Fox News’ The Story that a “new Middle East” may be emerging while also raising the uncomfortable possibility of U.S. troops having a presence in Ukraine. This is not alarmism; it is a sober assessment from a man who has walked the halls of strategy and seen what happens when America hesitates.
Keane’s comments about President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu being “on the same page” are a reminder that strength and clarity of purpose still win friends and deter foes. Conservatives have long argued that American credibility depends on decisive leadership, not endless hand-wringing or moral relativism. If our allies know that we mean what we say and mean to defend common interests, the bad actors who carve up regions and threaten our friends will think twice before acting.
Let’s be clear: a “new Middle East” driven by Iranian ambitions, resurgent militias, and realignments among regional powers is a direct consequence of power vacuums and mixed signals from Washington. This is a moment for patriotic clarity, not pious lecturing about restraint that leaves our partners exposed. We cannot afford a policy that reads well in cable forums but fails on the ground where lives and liberty are at stake.
The possibility of U.S. troops in Ukraine should be discussed plainly and honestly—Americans deserve to know the stakes and the objectives. Keane raised the issue as part of a broader strategic picture where deterrence and presence can prevent larger wars, and that is a debate worth having in Congress and the country. If the alternative is watching Europe spiral and emboldening Moscow and Tehran, then a responsible posture of strength is far cheaper than the cost of defeat.
Too often the debate is muddy because career politicians and sound-bite journalists prefer ambiguity to accountability. Patriots should demand clear mission statements, defined objectives, and a commander-in-chief willing to use American power wisely to protect our interests and honor our commitments. Weakness is contagious; resolve is contagious too, and it’s time the American people insisted their leaders choose the latter.
If General Keane is right, we are at a crossroads where the decisions made in Washington will echo for a generation. Conservatives must press for a foreign policy rooted in strength, clear alliances, and a sober willingness to defend freedom wherever it is threatened. Stand with our troops, stand with our allies, and demand leadership that remembers America’s role as the beacon of liberty rather than a bystander as the world is reshaped.
