Just found this memcon of discussions between Syrian and Jordanian officials regarding the attempt to form a unity state in 1977. Can't say I was prepared to see this today. khaddam.net/articles/adnanโ€ฆ

I wrote about Biden and the new book. As the reporting in "Original Sin" makes clear: this story is bigger than just the 2024 campaign. It was more than a year or two of decline. We need to confront the truth: Joe Biden never should have been president of the United States. ๐Ÿงต

As I wrote in Foreign Policy last July, the Israel Defense Forces has significant command-and-control and discipline problems. Its permissive culture leads directly to incidents like this. foreignpolicy.com/2024/07/03/idfโ€ฆ

This is a really striking set of documents from late 1978, in which Zbigniew Brzezinski and analysts at Department of State write dueling memos on Middle East contingencies. cia.gov/readingroom/doโ€ฆ
