Become a Whirled Politics Contributor
Are you a young adult with an interest in International Affairs? At Whirled Politics, our mission is to create a media platform that showcases our opinions as the next generation of foreign policy writers and political advocates.
As long as we can remember, the U.S. has been at war in the Middle East. We are stationed in 150 countries around the world because of conflicts that happened before we were born. Our generation didn’t live through the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and many of the events that shape the opinions of our representatives and the policy coming out of Washington. History should be studied diligently, but as John McCain and the Democratic National Committee seem to forget, Russia is no longer the “Red Menace,” and the United States’ world campaign for freedom and democracy has backfired more than once. The most concerning aspect of looking through the lens of the past is that we might fail to recognize where the threat of authoritarianism lies today.
We welcome submissions from all students and young adults — even if you’re not in the United States. The wealth of information and new perspectives international contributors would bring is invaluable. Please reach out whether or not you speak perfect English.
If you have interest in world politics, history and culture, we hope you’ll join us. If you’re ready to join a community of classic liberals, libertarians, conservatives, and advocates for peace, you’ve found the right place.
