A superb take down, Daniel Szeligowski. Particularly pernicious is that (a) one of the authors, in particular, has a history of urging the West to abandon Ukraine; (b) this resembles a standard pro-Soviet Cold War narrative - its the West’s fault. It wasn’t, and it isn’t. @Debski
“The major players in the Russia–China–Iran–North Korea coalition are increasingly willing to use open violence…& to threaten much worse, including use of nuclear weapons. They are united by a growing belief their moment is coming.” Eliot A Cohen theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
Very good piece by Eliot A Cohen.

Finished another great book by two keen observers of power, William Shakespeare and Eliot A Cohen.
Cohen deftly analyzes the psychology of #power - how it’s acquired, exercised and lost through Shakespeare’s works.
Superb study of literature and #leadership . A very good read.

Excuse me, Shashank Joshi, I believe that I earned this one! Mind you, I resent being identified merely as a “political scientist” rather than something more inspiring, like “man of letters” or “mad-dog bourgeois fiend.”
