Annexing Greenland wouldn’t boost U.S. security—it would isolate America.

The immense determination of Ukrainian warriors & civilians has prevented Putin from achieving any of his initial war aims: Tried to take all Ukraine—failed. Tried to overthrow Zelenskyy—failed. Tried to stop NATO expansion—failed. Putin is losing this war. I just hope it ends soon.

I’m struck by how often Trump referred to Xi as his “friend” and a “great leader.” Xi Jinping, chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, is a dictator. He also offered no such reciprocal praise for Trump. That asymmetry makes Trump appear in a visibly weaker position.

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.

This week Trump urged Republicans to “nationalize” elections. It may be one of the most anti-democratic ideas he’s floated and follows a well-worn authoritarian playbook, slowly chipping away at free & fair elections. Our democratic institutions are strong—but this is deeply disturbing

For decades, arms control limited U.S. and Russian nuclear weapons. As of tomorrow, those limits are gone. That’s a bad outcome for everyone.

Greenland is a vanity project for Trump that would cost us a broken NATO and a stronger Putin, as I told @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social

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.

A year ago, I wrote about being a liberal internationalist in the era of Trump’s illiberal nationalism. You can read that essay, and many more like it, on my Substack: McFaul's World. michaelmcfaul.substack.com

Sending Brandee Evans tight hugs. I can't imagine caregiving responsibilities while navigating this lame industry and making sure you're not neglecting yourself as well. My parents might need care sooner than later and it's always on my mind what that will look like with me being overseas.

This is one of those rare moments where I feel the theme of a series staring me in the face. Both Tetsuo and Sagiri were admired by others but built walls around themselves. While Sagiri shut others out for his goals, Tetsuo opens himself up, even if there's the chance of pain. #SnowballEarth
