In Episode 663 of Who Gets to Decide?, we examine the political legacy of Senator Lindsey Graham and the lasting impact of the interventionist foreign policy he championed throughout his career.

From Iraq and Afghanistan to Libya, Syria, Ukraine, and the Middle East, Graham consistently argued that American military strength and an assertive global posture were essential to protecting U.S. interests. He was also one of the most outspoken advocates for Israel in the U.S. Senate, supporting expanded military assistance and close strategic cooperation.

This episode explores a contrasting perspective, asking whether decades of intervention have made the United States and the world more secure—or whether they have contributed to prolonged conflict, instability, and mounting costs. We examine the arguments made by Graham's supporters alongside those of his critics, who contend that America's foreign policy establishment has too often favored military solutions over diplomacy.

Whether you viewed Lindsey Graham as a principled defender of American leadership or as a leading voice for intervention abroad, his influence on U.S. foreign policy is undeniable. This episode invites listeners to consider how history may ultimately judge that legacy.
