NATO
The United States should continue contributing to NATO, but should not be the main defense force for protection in Europe and other countries. We are a supplemental defense force against instigators of Democracy, not the watchdogs or main defense forces for the entire world.
Israel
America should not be funding a genocide or a third-party occupation. Likewise, Pakistan and other regional countries deserve access to the news and the world to share their side of what is happening in their land. Israel using American weapons to starve their neighbors for expansion purposes is not something American taxes should assist. It goes against everything America should represent.
However, Hamas's inability and unwillingness to move toward peace, and their use of hospitals and schools as bases is also not something that should be supported. They are, in essence, using their own civilians as political and actual shields.
Neither side is willing to give up their personal war since the other has proven they will use that step as a means of further attacks. Until both sides can agree that peace is a better option, very little can be done. But, once both sides agree to move towards peace, America can facilitate those steps. Both sides can shift to a more disarmed (removing the heavier weapons and display of weapons) view without giving up all the weapons at once. This partial disarmament can be enforced by a neutral country approved by both sides, or each side can choose their own neutral country. This/these neutral countries overlooking the disarmament can then bring both sides through equal steps/phases until both sides are disarmed to a more workable level of weapons and neutral peace. There are past examples of processes and steps that have worked already which can be used as a template for this as well.
Russia / Ukraine
Ukraine assistance should continue. The United States should support democracies abroad, especially if they are trade partners. Russia is the clear aggressor, and has even begun pushing against NATO countries on other parts of its border. NATO should retain a cool head though, and not fully respond in kind. Though Russia best converses through shows of force, so NATO does need to adjust how it responds to Russia.
This is also an opportunity to examine a new form of warfare to assist a third-party in their war efforts through resources and training rather than putting American lives in danger ourselves. Likewise, this is an opportunity to test other non-physical forms of warfare that America has fallen short or behind on.
