Stop trying to change Putin’s mind. Change his capabilities instead. Arm Ukraine with more and better weapons, and impose tougher sanctions on Russian individuals and companies to cut off the money funding this war.

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.

The U.S. and Russia were both backing the same candidate in Hungary’s recent election (and he lost). Peter Magyar’s victory is great news for Hungary, Ukraine, Europe and small-d democrats everywhere. Read more: michaelmcfaul.substack.com/p/viktor-orb...

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.

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.

Trump’s impatience and erratic threats are undercutting his own team’s ability to negotiate effectively with the Iranians

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.

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.

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

I don’t remember Trump talking about military action against Iran on the campaign trail. Or Venezuela. Or Greenland. The disconnect between Trump's actions abroad and how most Americans want the U.S. to act in the world is deeply troubling

That Reform is a nasty little racist party more intent on causing division than actually coming with any useful policies is hardly new, but this really takes the biscuit. Attempting to blackmail and threaten voters with some playground politics of performative cruelty is a new low even for them.

That bus pass took her went straight to the storm drains.

Trump’s supposed Iran deal appears to already be unraveling. After pressure from Netanyahu and GOP war hawks, Trump suddenly began backtracking on terms reportedly discussed just yesterday — terms which amounted to a U.S. surrender.
