Our Fall issue also features essays on how universities can restore public trust. First is @UTAustin provost William Inboden on why renewing higher education's civic mission will require reviving liberal learning, free inquiry, and citizenship education: nationalaffairs.com/publications/d…
"This would be exactly the wrong time for the U.S. to take the foot off the gas pedal," says AEI's @DAlexBlumenthal. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
🧵Today, we published The Future of Conservative Internationalism: Volume VI. These essays—presented at the most recent convening of our Reagan Institute Strategy Group—charts a path for U.S. foreign policy and national security inspired by President @RonaldReagan's timeless…
Depopulation is possible — and could cause a crisis, writes AEI's Nicholas Eberstadt. nypost.com/2025/09/14/opi…
20 years after the Iraq War, @dpletka and @GaryJSchmitt1 hosted a series of events to provide a fact-based analysis of the conflict — the run-up, the war itself, and its aftermath. The resulting Iraq War video series premieres Thursday, 9/18.
NEW. Aaron Friedberg on China's military: "China doesn’t do large muscle movements and sharp deviations in policy. They grind away...at this long, ongoing effort to make it harder for us to intervene in a conflict in their neighborhood...I don’t think we’ve solved that problem."
I've read @vermontgmg's oral history, "We're the Only Plane in the Sky" on this day every year since it was published. It is worth your time: politico.com/magazine/story…
"Stabilizing relations with an aggressive power like PRC requires pushing back. It's well past time for U.S. officials to do so. If Washington continues to demonstrate a lack of urgency, it will not only embolden China but also rattle its closest allies." nationalreview.com/2025/09/the-re…
Georgia watchers in DC and beyond! I look forward to my conversation with @UNMGeorgia's leader, @TinaBokuchava, September 17 at 4.30pm, at AEI. Do join us, in person or online! /1
Beijing’s recent display of military prowess is part of a broader effort to sow instability. The US must push back. | @BalzerKyle nationalreview.com/2025/09/the-re…
'China is rapidly expanding its nuclear weapons and diversifying the means of delivering them, even as America struggles merely to replace its aging missiles and bombers.' @BalzerKyle @NRO @AEIfdp nationalreview.com/2025/09/the-re…
What message does Xi's nuclear parade send to US officials? My latest in @NRO contends that China isn't looking for stable relations with Washington. Quite the opposite. China's nuclear buildup is all about calculated instability. (1/2)
The Arctic is a long, strategic play that requires sustained US prioritization, economically and militarily, accompanied by long-term public-private investment. In my recent piece, I suggest that Russia and China already believe the Arctic is the next 'great game.'
Putin's offer of a Russian law forbidding a future invasion of Ukraine is not credible because Russia has already twice broken previous binding international commitments not to invade and because Putin has shown that he can freely change Russian law as he desires. ⬇️

If today's summit fails to yield beneficial results to Ukraine, how should the US respond? Trump should pair his threat to impose "severe consequences" on RU with credible military power, like rightsizing the Euro nuke balance by accelerating SLCM-N. My latest: (1/2)
