The nomination of Elbridge Colby as undersecretary of policy at the Pentagon has sparked significant internal conflict within the Republican Party regarding contemporary foreign policy. Colby, a conservative realist, advocates for prioritizing China and argues against 'primacism', which includes containment strategies toward Iran. His views clash with more hawkish factions within the party, generating notable opposition from figures like Senator Tom Cotton, who questions Colby's stance on nuclear Iran. Ultimately, this nomination may determine whether the U.S. continues with an aggressive global strategy or opts for calculated restraint.
