My comment on the Moscow terrorist attack: responsiblestatecraft.org/moscow-attack-…
I hope you can attend this online book talk with Robert Kaplan at 12.00 pm EST on Tuesday: quincyinst.org/events/book-ta…
Do the following mental exercise: communism wins in the 1990s and North America is excited to embrace this efficient and free way to run the world. The Soviet Union promises that the Warsaw Pact is a thing of the past. We are all communists now, no need to create divisions.
Why won't Israel release the full video of the aid convoy in Gaza as its troops shot and killed some of the Palestinians seeking food? "The video released by the IDF is not one single sequence. It has been edited into four sections." bbc.com/news/world-mid…

Gaslighting from the highest level. Airdropping aid is a last resort when territories are blockaded by enemies (think Berlin airlift) or natural disaster has cut off roads. Not when you're too lazy, browbeaten and cowardly to tell an utterly dependent ally to cut the crap.

Biden didn’t fight for $16 billion to mitigate the childcare crisis, but did push for $16.5 billion for Israel’s war in Gaza, which has killed over 12,500 children, writes @stephensemler in a story supported by @econhardship. theintercept.com/2024/03/01/bid…
"The next time you hear a politician, a Pentagon bureaucrat, or a corporate functionary tell you about the economic wonders of massive military budgets, don’t buy the hype." MUST READ @WilliamHartung in @TomDispatch tomdispatch.com/war-is-bad-for…

Imagine a member of the military in some distant autocracy immolated himself in the capital accusing his government of genocide, while the police pointed guns at his burning body and the media struggled to limit coverage of the incident. Useful exercise
After Sweden, Denmark also drops the investigation into the Nord Stream pipeline bombing. It’s almost as if everyone is terrified of actually finding the culprit. I wonder why that may be? 🤔 theguardian.com/business/2024/…
What a realistically attainable victory for Ukraine would look like: time.com/6257285/ukrain…
Senior Tory MPs urged on by powerful right-wing newspapers are now running a campaign to label peaceful protesters, and especially those from the Muslim community, as a threat to our democracy. This is an increasingly dangerous moment. The Prime Minister must speak out. But…

So our allies are never wrong about their security decisions? The Afghans were right about the situation in 2021? The Ukrainians were right the Russians weren't going to invade? The whole system of our Government is set up presuming our allies don't always know best. 1/

I’m sorry, Ukraine’s manpower issues are very real, and pretending otherwise isn’t doing anyone any favors!! Since the invasion two years ago, Ukraine has lost ~40% of its population, and the number of Russian troops in Ukraine has doubled. Ukraine faces an enemy 4x its size!

Given the many times now Ukr. officials (like every side in this war) have lied - often falsely blaming Moscow, sometimes for attacks they themselves carried out - Western press mustn't report or frame their statements as fact like this, esp given the stakes. Highly irresponsible
Ukraine ‘preparing for nuclear explosion’ as Russian troops ordered to leave Zaporizhzhia plant: ‘Whole world is watching’ trib.al/DnBMkYV
@TheProblem @jonstewart @anneapplebaum @ApplePodcasts @jonstewart used to be much better at calling out the oligarchic overreach of both sides of the political spectrum. It's a shame his powers of perception and voice (once doing the job that fourth estate should be doing) have been subdued and muted by fears of being cancelled.
From unanswered questions about 9/11 & the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, to conspiring w/ Putin to punish the US w/ higher oil prices, the royal Saudi family has never been a trustworthy ally of our nation. It’s time for our foreign policy to imagine a world without their alliance.
What Musk calls "the pro-Russia party" only wanted good relations with Russia, not unification. The 2000s "pro-Ru" Ukr president, Kuchma, wrote a book entitled "Ukraine is not Russia". Putin had to call Yanukovych to Moscow, pressure/bribe him to renege on the EU agreement.
So the US does have "boots on the ground" in Ukraine after all. Go figure. Another easily predictable lie theintercept.com/2022/10/05/rus…
Saudi Arabia decides it’s in their interest to cut oil production, fine. Maybe the US decides it’s in its interests to ground the Saudi Air Force. For starters. I don’t know, just thinking out loud.
Let me get this straight. In an unprecedented move on oil prices, Saudi Arabia boosts Putin’s economic/political fortunes; adds to inflationary pressures worldwide; sticks it to Joe Biden, and MBS is an ally of the US…really?
Romney was wrong then, and Romney is still wrong about this
