How to use foolhardy in a sentence?

  1. Rand Paul:

    So we have to understand that asking countries right on the border of Russia that used to be part of Russia to be in a military alliance against Russia is just a foolhardy idea. Henry Kissinger said this, many others have said this, and I think we should offer them the carrot of that, that they won't be in NATO and at the same time, tell them, though, that if you invade there, the repercussions will be very, very costly and these will be economic repercussions. But all of that requires the cooperation of Europe because we don't buy that much from Russia.

  2. Van Beurden:

    It would be somewhat foolhardy to put ourselves in a legal bind by saying these are the targets we will adopt, before we put ourselves at the mercy of a legal challenge, I want to make sure we are doing the right thing first.

  3. Douglas Wilson:

    I don’t know they have all the evidence they need to make the best decision, it’s also not clear whether their audience will perceive TLC as groundbreaking for continuing to tell the story, or foolhardy for maintaining the Duggars. In other words, can TLC keep the Duggars on the air without appearing to be part of the problem ?

  4. Jeb Bush:

    Donald Trump doesn't know what he's talking about. And you know who'd be hurt the most? Iowa agriculture, what does a country do when it gets thrown a 45% tariff? It retaliates. And who would it retaliate with? Agriculture, and the equipment and the technology that this great state has developed and has been sold to China. All of that is foolhardy.

  5. Sanford Levinson:

    It seems foolhardy to assume that the armed state will necessarily be benevolent. The American political tradition is, for good or ill, based in large measure on a healthy mistrust of the state.
