Where they stand

A short read of where Andrew Napolitano lands on each front we follow, drawn from their recent appearances and refreshed whenever they turn up in a debrief.

Iran
Voters, including young ex-MAGA, rejected the Iran war and its economic cost; Trump should honor the MOU and Hormuz would reopen; Iran will rejoice if Congress defunds the war
as of 2026-11-04
Ukraine & Russia
Presses the point that European leaders bellicosity toward Russia makes no sense, because an actual war with Russia would leave Europe decimated.
as of 2026-09-21
Israel
Trump is beholden to the Israeli lobby and Netanyahu, who pulls strings (e.g. the chemical weapons claim the CIA rejects); hopes Netanyahu fails to form a government
as of 2026-11-04
American power
Midterms were a personal repudiation of Trump; Democratic wave leaves him a lame duck and Republicans damaged for a generation
as of 2026-11-04
