“Five of the Best Presidential Biographies.” Honored to have @economist.com recommend my Reagan book alongside other presidential biographies by Robert Caro, David McCullough, Doris Kearns Goodwin and David Remnick—all writers I greatly admire. economist.com/culture/2025/0…

To repel Russian attacks, the West must take action that is “sufficiently devastating to make Russian eyes water and deter future misbehavior.” @EitvydasB @MaxBoot buff.ly/4a4SOLI

Just finished the @MaxBoot biography of Reagan; it's superb. No wonder it's making the lists of best books of '24. Much recommended.

This is another argument for even stricter sanctions on the Russian economy and even more support for Ukraine. Only by making Russia pay a high price for its violations of international law can the West dissuade Putin from further aggression. bit.ly/40aUmjN

Such accidents happen in wartime everywhere. But when civilized nations commit such offenses, they apologize and make reparations. They don’t refuse to admit what they did or try to blame someone else for their actions. bit.ly/40aUmjN
