So let me see if i got this right: Trump attacks the nuke sites. Didn’t completely destroy them yet so before he could go back for round two to finish them off he calls for a cease fire? Is this right? Wow. Brilliant

Good chance of this

Russia's ongoing strike campaign against Ukraine in recent months has increasingly impacted civilian areas and infrastructure and Ukraine's defense industrial base, underscoring the urgency of providing additional air support to Ukraine and strengthening Ukraine's air defense

Are you ready for JD Vance versus AOC in 2028?

Hi All, latest column in the Europe Dispatch by Minna Alander was just released. She discusses what makes a people willing to fight and die to defend their countries, even if the outcome of a war is uncertain, by looking at the Finnish example in particular. Is the rest of Europe

Even if this was good tactics by Rutte (which it really is not) it’s devastating for European leaders to speak like this. The lack of self-respect and confidence that it telegraphs is demoralising domestically and empowers Europe’s enemies. It’s the language of defeat.

This is UNACCEPTABLE AND INSANE.

Great summary of the NATO summit

Congrats CJ

Has he asked his Daddy?

A terribly depressing but important article in The Atlantic by Tom Nichols . The US Naval War College has been at the forefront of military education around the world for more than a century. It is now losing leading scholars because of restraints on academic freedom.

Hi All, as part of keeping the focus on Ukraine, I’m really delighted to publish this interview (which is free) by former Ukrainian defense minister Andriy Zagorodnyuk. He is thinking strategically about securing Ukraine’s future and I have learned a great deal from him.

I would love, love to wake up in a world where I did not feel every day was part of some great culture war to the death. There will be no winner of this in the end--but there will be lots of losses.

Worth watching. Trump really did not want to bomb Iran, but when he became convinced he could coast on Israel’s coattails and have an easy victory, he sent US service people into harms way to serve his ego. thebulwark.com/p/michael-weis…

We are witnessing arguably the least conservative Supreme Court in US history. They are granting the executive massive power to rule almost by fiat. Imagine what a President AOC would do with that power.

Hi All, just sent this primer out on the Israel/US air war against Iran…which so far has arguably been the weirdest air war in history. If the Iranian regime stays in power and can rebuild at least part of their nuclear program, they can probably thank Trump.
