@William72765420 Don’t follow—is Burke supposed to be holding up the view that the Church has been silent on just war, the protection of innocent human life, the duties of those waging war, etc?

[Justin Logan @JustinTLogan]

“Nobody ever told me the Church or the Pope were going to be so antiwar, I’m out,” is revealing, I suppose.

[GOP Ls @GOP__Ls]

🚨 BREAKING: Sean Hannity announces that he is abandoning his faith because the Pope doesn’t support Trump’s Iran war:

“I no longer consider myself a Catholic.”

[Cato Institute @CatoInstitute]

“On this Veterans Day, let us resolve to make fewer veterans. For too long, Washington has sent Americans into harm’s way without clear political objectives and without keeping the public fully informed. We owe our men and women in uniform better,” says Cato’s @brandan_buck.

Robert Kagan: “Iran does not have the capability to strike American territory, and Trump's FP should be focused on national security: I don’t see how Iran threatens those interests..." [The war] "has been conducted essentially in Israel’s interest.” https://t.co/EzyTYUtybA

What did the midterms actually mean for the future of US foreign policy?

What is the future of "America First"?

Netanyahu is reportedly calling Trump every day urging him to renew military operations against Iran despite overwhelming public opposition to the war in the U.S.

Its hilarious that he singlehandedly blew up the conservative political movement in the U.S. with this war at the exact moment where Israel's standing with Democrats has plummeted towards open hostility.

I don’t want to fan Slantchev’s emotions any further, but “stopping Russia (at the line of control for now, regaining its 1991 borders in the future by peaceful means)” is a rather clumsy part of this expansive definition of Ukrainian victory.

[Branislav Slantchev @slantchev]

Astonishing how much time these idiots pretend not to have heard things we said a million times. What a waste of space.

But lest @JustinTLogan there accuses me of not answering his question — another favorite tactic of these types that are constantly demanding personal explanations like they are paying me for them — Ukrainian victory would mean stopping Russia (at the line of control for now, regaining its 1991 borders in the future by peaceful means), keeping whatever government its people elect not what the Kremlin wants, security arrangements for deterrence of Moscow, EU membership, reconstruction finance (starting with the $300 bn in frozen Russian funds in Europe), no restrictions on its armed forces, a defense industry integrated with Europe, and being left alone by the fucking war criminals next door.

I ask again: What does Ukraine winning mean? Going on five years and nobody has defined it.

[Ruben Gallego @RubenGallego]

But Ukraine can win. Thats why I back them. It’s a Russian talking point that Ukraine can’t win, cause Russia big blah,blah. If Ukraine kills enough Russians they will quit.

[Justin Logan @JustinTLogan]

@jakluge Wasn’t him.

[Justin Logan @JustinTLogan]

Somebody who was in Istanbul in 2022 told me recently that it was absolutely the Europeans who killed the deal back then.

[Fraser Jackson @FrazJ]

US official: 'The Russians have a bad taste in their mouths with the Europeans. They view it that the Europeans were the ones who killed the deal they had in Istanbul.'

[Justin Logan @JustinTLogan]

Were you there? This person was, so your cocksuredness is interesting.

The person is a lockstep transatlanticist, including on the causes of the war. Claim is that Europe encouraged Ukraine to keep fighting and reject a deal, which it did. Perhaps it would have otherwise.

[Bruno Tertrais @BrunoTertrais]

Strategic urban legend. There was no such draft deal that could be acceptable to both the main contenders. (Btw since when do Europeans have so much power?)

[Justin Logan @JustinTLogan]

@BH_Friedman The Shallot? The Leek?

[Justin Logan @JustinTLogan]

“Why are there multiple obvious poison pills in this FDD proposal for peace?”

[Murtaza Hussain @MazMHussain]

To win the approval of FDD any deal to end the war with Iran must include a full list of maximalist terms they have already been rejecting for years and on top of that should not include any concessions to them including sanctions relief. Why would anyone agree to this exactly? This is just a demand to continue the war indefinitely.

@MrRBourne It’s a miracle Vinicius can walk.
