Interested in how US presidents use foreign policy to boost their domestic political standing? Read my book, Great Power Rising. It's great for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses https://t.co/WnAzwVMFkL

Confess to feeling both sad and mad in reading WTO panel decision on steel and alum tariffs+ US response. Sad to see Biden Admin adopt "might makes right" approach + abandonment of rules based trading system pushes our allies away at time US needs them in support of Ukraine + to

Your daily reminder that the wild conspiracy theories about the so-called Deep State created during the Trump presidency are being translated into serious policy recommendations by influential conservative think tanks

[The American Mind @theammind]

The FBI long ago replaced the distinctions by which they had previously operated with the classic bureaucratic imperative: look out for yourselves by making sure to please the powerful. https://t.co/VFlSyvGRXT

[John (Jack) Thompson @JackThompson_8]

Would be prudent for European policymakers to prepare for this by redoubling efforts to boost their military capabilities and ability to act independently from the US, when necessary, to protect their interest and values (15/15)

[John (Jack) Thompson @JackThompson_8]

Europeans will be pleased US Senate approved NATO membership for Finland/Sweden by 95-1 vote, apparently reaffirming US commitment to European security. But there are big long-term challenges to durability of long-term US commitment to NATO and European security (🧵1/15)

[John (Jack) Thompson @JackThompson_8]

Indeed, swing back toward a US foreign policy that is more ambivalent about NATO and European security could happen as soon as 2024 14/15 https://t.co/man55fRlLG
