Trump isn’t unique in opposing an Iranian nuclear weapon. Obama worked with China, Russia, and our allies on a deal with real limits and inspections—and a decade later, Iran still didn’t have a nuclear bomb. Now Trump is taking a military approach. Will it work better?

Conventional military superiority doesn’t always guarantee success (think Vietnam, Afghanistan). Russia is learning that in Ukraine, where cheap tech, political will, and innovation are undermining its advantages in scale and firepower. Will the same be true for Iran?

As peace talks with Iran hit a dead end, our president and secretary of state—the country's top diplomat—were ringside at a UFC fight. The Trump administration is doing lasting damage to our reputation on the world stage.

Once in power, Putin cut taxes for elites, consolidated media (directly or via loyalists) & sought to manipulate the electoral process. Sound familiar? Some parallels are hard to ignore. The difference? The US has strong checks, an active civil society & deep democratic traditions—that gives me hope

From threatening to invade Greenland to calling Canada "the 51st state" and slapping tariffs on everyone—this isn't "America First," it’s a massive self-inflicted wound. Now Trump wants to abandon NATO. That would be an all-time own goal.

Autocracies are rising. To compete with China & Russia in the 21st century, we need to return to the basics that underpinned Cold War success: strong democratic alliances, global institutions (which can and should be reformed), and renewed engagement and cooperation.

Today, the last major US-Russia nuclear arms control treaty expires. It allowed inspectors on both sides to examine each other’s systems, reducing uncertainty. Without facts, worst-case thinking takes over—and that’s dangerous for nuclear powers.

Putin has made it clear he doesn’t see Ukrainians as an independent nation. Until that belief changes, tragically, this war is likely to continue. His negotiators have given little indication that they’re prepared to engage seriously in peace talks

In my book Autocrats vs. Democrats: China, Russia, America, and the New Global Disorder, I argue against “might makes right” thinking. Instead, I make the case that meeting today’s challenges from Russia and China requires renewed alliances, diplomacy, and democratic leadership.

Right now, the conversation isn’t about nuclear programs, or free and fair elections in Iran. It's about reopening a body of water that was open before this war started. Chalk that up as a win for Tehran.

This may sound odd, but it’s delicious. Scoop out some quality French Vanilla ice cream, like Tillamook. Drizzle on some Graza Drizzle extra virgin olive oil. It’s a finishing oil, not cooking oil. And a few small cranks of Himalayan, pink salt. Kick it up further with a little hot honey.

What’s a “coywolf?” The modern history of canids in North America is a mess — extirpation, hybridization, introgression — sometimes called “canid soup.” Here’s some nuance about eastern coyotes, which are one part of the story! #wildlife #animal #animals #science #stem #nature #wolf #coyote
