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.

In 2018, after the Trump-Putin summit in Helsinki, I learned Russia wanted to interrogate me (and others) in exchange for US investigators questioning 12 Russian intelligence officers over electoral interference in 2016. The White House took nearly a day to reject the proposal.

Hard deals don’t get done in weeks. Serious diplomacy requires time, direct engagement, and experienced negotiators. We didn’t see that with Iran, and that begs the question of whether these negotiations were ever aimed at reaching an agreement or simply a decoy. W/ @katiecouric.bsky.social

Vladimir Putin’s Russia may be the biggest beneficiary of Trump’s war in Iran so far—but don’t forget about Xi Jinping’s China. I discussed how both are benefitting in a recent NPR interview: www.npr.org/2026/04/03/n...

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.

Many hear 'Trump' and think 'America'. But millions of us believe we’re better off pursuing win-win cooperation with allies than Trump's zero-sum games. In Autocrats vs Democrats, I outline an alternative strategy that advances US interests through global engagement www.amazon.com/Autocrats-vs...

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?

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...

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.
