The Signal chat group created by US National Security Adviser Mike Waltz to discuss imminent strikes targeting Houthi terrorists in Yemen in March ultimately cost him his job. Waltz’s misjudgment exposed the Trump administration to substantial domestic political criticism at a difficult time and shocked friends and allies of the United States worldwide. Other errors […]
Read MoreDonald Trump has confirmed since 20th January that he is an aberration in American politics. That was clear in his first term, but many refused to acknowledge reality, fervently hoping his second term would be a legacy-building project. Their mistake was assuming that their definition of “legacy”—what normal political leaders see as solidifying a positive […]
Ukraine’s Volodomyr Zelensky is “a dictator without elections,” with only a four percentapproval rating( https://www.newsweek.com/what-trump-has-said-about-zelensky-since-2022-2039000 ). The war in Ukraine( https://apnews.com/article/trump-speech-congress-transcript-751b5891a3265ff1e5c1409c391fef7c ) is “madness” and “senseless.” While it is true Russia iscurrently “pounding” Ukraine, “probably anyone in that position would be doing that rightnow( https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crknjxj3n4zo ).” Kyiv is “more difficult, frankly, to dealwith” than Moscow.This […]
T.S Eliot would not have minded Robert Kaplan expropriating the title of his mostfamous poem for his latest book, Waste Land. Kaplan’s focus on the decline of the West and thebirth of modernism were among the poem’s themes(175), and his latest tour de force on theunhappy state of the world is decidedly pessimistic on many […]
Trump likes dealing with authoritarian leaders like Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, which is dangerous for our national security because he doesn't fully understand the stakes nor the concessions he's been making.
What does our relationship look like with India in a second Trump term? I spoke with @WIONews on PM Modi's trip to Washington:
It's easy to achieve "peace" if you're willing to surrender.

The real problem in international trade today is China, which is distorting the trading systems in many different ways. A sensible approach to trade issues would be to focus on the country causing the distortions by joining with our allies instead of threatening a trade war…
Endless concessions to Moscow are a threat to American national security. This week the Trump Admin blew up the NATO position on Ukraine and the Belovezha Accords, which broke up the Soviet Union. This puts every other former republic of the Soviet Union at risk of Russian…
Trump admires authoritarian leaders like Putin and thinks they are friends. Putin is too cold-blooded for that. He's a former KGB agent - he knows exactly what he wants and he's going to get it. @LukaszDynowski

Putin scored a major victory over the U.S., NATO, and Ukraine this week, which is why Putin did not negotiate with Biden or Zelensky. He waited to negotiate with Trump because he believed the Kremlin would get more out of a Trump deal. And he was absolutely right.
It is unconscionable to allow Russia to assault Ukraine’s sovereignty, recruit enemies like North Korea to aid in their fight, and then sell out the Ukrainians by conceding the loss of their territory and NATO security guarantees or membership. By making these and others…
Looks like Trump agrees with John Marshall and not JD Vance. Trump gives the right answer - it’s fine to appeal, but he will always abide by court orders.
JD Vance must have slept through his Constitutional law class at Yale. Just to remind, see Chief Justice John Marshall in Marbury v. Madison (1803): "It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is."
The Chinese have been waging economic warfare against us for 30 years while the U.S. has largely failed to respond. It's time we ban all Chinese imports that rely in whole or in part on stolen American intellectual property.
