Excellent messaging by Cameron. Ukraine must be able - and supported - to strike inside Russia using west’s weapons. Fighting with one hand tied behind your back => loss. Allies urging Ukraine to limit strikes in Russia jeopardise Ukraine & Europe security bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

A humbling privilege to continue our work at Independent Diplomat in support of the Rohingya cause. Important not to forget their crisis and struggle when we’re inundated with so many others currently.

Grateful to Nurul Islam for the insightful conversation and a copy of his book.

For those of us who have had first-hand experience of Iran’s disgusting “moral militia” - the basij - or the IRGC, this is no shock. They abuse Iranians systematically. Only one solution for Iran - and for betterment of global security: end the regime. bbc.co.uk/news/world-mid…

This is my beautiful home town Tartu in Estonia. GPS jamming in the region by Russia has now gotten so bad that Tartu airport has not been able to receive flights for the last two days.

Hybrid warfare against Estonia - a NATO member for 20 years - is getting worse. 1/5

I spoke with Rishi Sunak, who informed me that the UK has allocated the largest defence support package for Ukraine to date, worth half a billion pounds.

Storm Shadow and other missiles, hundreds of armored vehicles and watercraft, ammunition—all of this is needed on the…

We've got to muster the political will, industrial capacity, economic leverage, and military capability to defeat Russia first in order to isolate/deter Iran and deter China from making a terrible miscalculation.

Very relieved to hear this kind of clear messaging from Starmer about the nuclear deterrent. Its role in maintaining peace and security has in my lifetime never been as important as it is now.

Important piece exposing Russia’s war against evangelicals. Good time for those in US Congress that are aligned with evangelicals to free up a key way of fighting back and defending the church - the Ukraine supplemental aid package.

NEW: A yearlong investigation by The Insider, 60 Minutes and DER SPIEGEL has uncovered evidence suggesting that Havana Syndrome may have its origin in the use of directed energy weapons wielded by the Russian GRU’s infamous Unit 29155.  theins.press/en/politics/27…

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is an existential threat for Europe. Yet EU countries seem more focused on making a buck than getting Russia out of Ukraine. Here's Italian exports to Kyrgyzstan, which are now at unprecedented highs. Chasing coin in the face of imminent danger...

Crucial time for the U.S. - step up and be a reliable partner; or lose the alliances that the U.S. itself needs (whether it knows it or not).

Few days ago, I wrote about the need to protect certain critical production lines so that they are unaffected by strikes and other actions. Some took this as an attack against the unions and the right to strike, which it wasn't. People should always be able to call for decent…

9. There’s no chance of negotiations that will end the war. Anyone in the West who thinks there is, doesn’t understand very much about the Russian govt (and needs to go and read Sam Greene) or its 30 year use of negotiations and frozen conflicts. twitter.com/ruth_deyermond…

6. Western govts and media need to recognize that this is a major war and that major wars are long and complex and expensive. There will always be defeats as well as victories.

This thread… Europe / west still burying heads in the sand, hoping for a reality that does not exist. We are at war with Russia and we need to act and plan accordingly to secure its defeat. Kicking the can down the road only increases human and $$ costs, and makes the job harder

Any Western backtracking will only encourage Putin to double down on his assault on . He will not negotiate. This is why we must support Ukraine full-heartedly to win the upper hand on the battlefield. Read my argument Foreign Affairs
