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

More from Michael McFaul

Putin is losing this war. Tried to take all Ukraine—failed. Tried to overthrow Zelenskyy—failed. Tried to demilitarize Ukraine—failed. Tried to stop NATO expansion—failed. I honestly can't believe this war has not ended yet.

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.

Putin is backing Iran, strengthening a regime confronting the U.S., and exploiting the chaos for Russia’s gain. This isn’t complicated. Trump and his team need to wake up to this reality.

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.

No matter how this war ends, Trump will claim victory. But most Americans still don’t know why we went to war or what the objectives are. Without clear goals, how can we measure success? We "obliterated" their nuclear program last year, so what threat justified war now?

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.

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

By disrupting the global economic order, we are making Beijing look like the rational, prudent alternative. Impressions matter. Right now, our global reputation is tanking while Beijing reaps the rewards. Watch in full: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZy3...

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

That's all it takes: 1 kg of oil, 1 kg of sugar, 1 kg of salt, 1 kg of beans, 1 kg of rice, four cans of SPAM, and empty promises for €30-50. This is how much the #Serbian vote is worth to our government. What a sad #world we live in. #Serbia #Election #Protest

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.
