I'm John Batcha with Peter Berkowitz of the Hoover Institution, my colleague writing

at real clear politics about a book published,

We Win, They Lose, Republican Foreign Policy

and the New Cold War, by Atlantic Council colleagues

Matthew Kronick and Dan Negraia.

And Peter then takes us into the immediate future.

Donald Trump is one of two possibilities for president in the year 2025.

So what is the recommendation of putting together the successes of

Ronald Reagan, fighting the first Cold War and winning it, and the speculation

about how Donald Trump would conduct himself in what I think is

fair-minded at this point to say is the second Cold War. What does it look like

Peter? Well it looks like something different than many Republicans imagine right now.

Kronica and Negra emphasized, however, that what appeared to be two camps within the Republican Party

those who think that Donald Trump's approach to foreign policy has superseded all

of the predecessors within the Republican camp and a smaller group who think Reagan remains the gold standard,

really they suggest that they can see emerging crystallizing a fusion of the two what does that fusion look like well in the first place

both camps the Reagan camp within the Republican Party and the Trump camp, actually do believe

in peace through strength. They believe that we should have a strong military, they should

believe that we, at least as a last resort should be prepared to use it to advance vital national interest.

And they accept that the world's a dangerous place and we are likely to have to use it.

Second, they both or the the synthesis commends what the authors call free and fair trade.

What does that mean?
