Pretty sure you are correct much to his shame. George Will didn't know what was in his and his countries' best interests.

Paxton may "win" today but there is likely to be a runoff since nobody is expecting any candidate to get more than 50% of the vote.
Paxton is a complete idiot perfect for MAGA. He just may turn Texas purple. Didn't think it would be possible but when MAGA runs incompetent scumbags anything can happen.
Time to quote my own post. Trump just talked about the Brits and their mishandling of this island. He has a lot on his plate, but this is a very important base strategically.
Iran is certainly exposing a lot of our allies in many ways. Who is with us? Who is against us? Which allies are 'neutral'? Who has a military worth a crap. When the low number is 30,000 Iranians murdered by their government, there really isn't a case for not taking a side here.
My conclusions? We need to own Diego Garcia & Greenland. UK is impotent and we should just take Diego - hell the local population want us. Portugal, Greece, Gulf countries, and former Eastern Block countries are excellent allies. Spain potentially to be hit with a full embargo thanks to the corrupt Supreme Court - but hey, it is "legal". Also, quite proud of my 'minor' contributions to the effort.
Rubio is impressive (as is Vance). Rubio just did a mini scrum with the press heading into Congress and handled everything clearly and competently. Kinda nice after the Biden years.
He suffers from a lot more than TDS. I thought he was a dip **** weasel the first time I saw him on a 24 hour network news panel decades ago.
Deny the US Diego, take a big chunk of their lucrative business.
