I was asked in a Q&A this week about Russia’s post-Putin leadership. Short term? We likely see a Putin 2.0–type successor. Longer term? History suggests the pendulum swings. Watch below, or check out McFaul's World on Substack for more: michaelmcfaul.substack.com/p/recording-...

We’ve spent billions on the world’s largest navy, yet cheap Iranian drones can shut the Strait of Hormuz, and we have no answer. Ukraine has vast experience countering such drones, but Trump has arrogantly dismissed Zelensky’s offer of help. We need to catch up. Fast.

Trump is out of step with most Americans on Greenland. For any politician thinking of backing his crazy idea, that should matter. Voters don't want this.

Trump said he can “live with it” if a report confirms a U.S. strike killed a school full of children in Iran. That isn’t strength. It makes America sound like the very thugs we claim to oppose.

Only weeks ago, Trump spoke in support of Iranians bravely risking their lives in the fight for freedom. Now, his team are negotiating with the same regime that has brutally suppressed these protests. Should they be?

Putin’s brutal war is a vanity project. He doesn’t care about Ukrainians—but he doesn't care about his own citizens either. This war ends when we strengthen Ukraine on the battlefield, tighten sanctions to starve Russia's war machine, and force Moscow to negotiate on equal terms. W/ @news.sky.com.

Power matters, but it's not everything. In Autocrats vs Democrats, I argue that three factors have shaped US-China/US-Russia relations in the last 250 years: power, regime type AND leaders. The interaction of these three factors explains why some eras see cooperation, others see confrontation.

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?

Europe pushed back on Greenland, but Americans did too. The public, the markets, even some GOP senators spoke up. And Trump backed down. We don't live in a monarchy, we don't live in a dictatorship, and Trump won't be in power forever. Clip from my conversation on The Court of History podcast

Last summer began with three tiny puppies abandoned at a cement factory on the outskirts of the city. They were so small, so scared, and the place was incredibly dangerous for them... We took them to safety and started searching for families, but no one wanted to adopt them.
