In Episode 3 of Modern Age with Dan McCarthy, we explore a long-running debate within the conservative movement: how involved should America be in reshaping other nations?

From Cold War fault lines to the Iraq War and now the growing tensions between Israel and Iran, conservatives have often pushed back against interventionist policies—though not always for the same reasons, and not always in agreement.

Dan McCarthy walks through the intellectual history behind this tension, offering context for understanding today's disagreements on the right.
