The Cold War wasn’t just an arms race, it was a race of ideas. We invested in international development agencies & soft power tools to compete. Dismantling them as China expands its Belt and Road Initiative, and Russia expands its own global influence operations, is unilateral disarmament.

Wait, Iran wants to make a deal (according to Trump)? Weren't we told months ago that we'd already eliminated Iran's nuclear weapons program?

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.

Embracing Putin while withholding critical support for Ukraine makes us look like a feckless friend and partner. And making allies purchase weapons just to reroute them to Ukraine? That isn’t leadership—it’s immoral.

A lesson from Hungary? Election winner Peter Magyar hardly ever spoke about democracy and dictatorship. He focused instead on corruption and rising costs, tying people’s struggles to the decisions and actions of those in power. That’s what resonated with voters.

Ukraine isn't subjugated. Its government still stands. Its military is stronger than before. NATO expanded with Finland & Sweden joining. And Russia has paid an enormous price in casualties & economic strain. After four years, Putin is further from his goals—not closer.

Ukraine is a democracy. It isn’t perfect, and allegations of corruption around senior officials are troubling. But they’re made public precisely because Ukraine's democratic institutions are functioning. You don't see that happen in Russia because those institutions simply don't exist there

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...

Russia isn't the reason Trump wants Greenland.

In Munich, I was embarrassed by America’s lack of support for Ukraine. Secretary Rubio did not even mention Putin’s invasion in his speech. I’m a patriotic American, I want to feel proud of my country again. We should stand with democracy against tyranny michaelmcfaul.substack.com/p/an-embarra...

Dit mag NOOIT meer gebeuren. Dat zeggen veel politici als de mishandeling van een kind groot in het nieuws is. Maar als het stelsel van jeugdbescherming niet wordt aangepast, als moties niet worden uitgevoerd en waarschuwingen van deskundigen worden genegeerd, dan BLIJFT dit gebeuren.
