@Yuan_Frank0 Will read with great interest

To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace.

A piece I wrote in today's @smh, ties together American intervention in the Middle East in support of Israel and the perils of Australia's reliance on the 'Pivot to Asia'.

@SamRoggeveen Neoliberalism repackaged as undercooked technocratic utopianism. 'Support founders', 'tax reform', 'hyper-growth cities' 🥱 Sounds like Neom...

[Stu Rollo @Sturollo]

A piece I wrote on the major changes to world order and the need for a profound shift in Australian foreign policy thinking

@SamRoggeveen @DSORennie With this achieved it is even better for US to now have Europe own the war, and its costs and failures, and be able to come in and make economic and strategic 'deals' with the various players involved that benefit itself

[Stu Rollo @Sturollo]

@SamRoggeveen @DSORennie The grand strategic goal of the US in Ukraine was to cut the further development of highly complementary economic linkages that combined the massive markets on each side of the Eurasian landmass and Russian energy and mineral resources (Belt and Road). This has now been achieved.

[Stu Rollo @Sturollo]

@Dr_Tad Not really, Europe gets benefits from being subordinated into the US system sure, but also costs, cut off from cheap Russian energy that subsidises their industrial base, unable to compete with highly subsidised America tech, barred from Chinese tech for 'security' reasons etc

[Stu Rollo @Sturollo]

An unexpected honour to have my work appreciated and critiqued by Professor Warren Cohen, a true titan of American diplomatic history.

A piece I wrote for @smh on the strategic and economic implications of Trump's push to annex Greenland:

[Stu Rollo @Sturollo]

@L0m3z Extremely narrow and unsophisticated understanding of empire. An empire at its height does not get everything it wants directly through the exercise of raw power. Sticks yes, but often carrots, institutions, rule and norm setting etc. Reliance on brute force is a sign of decline.

Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it

[Media Watch @ABCmediawatch]

“So what did go down in Amsterdam? And how should the media have reported it?

Certainly, better than they did because two angry mobs were involved — with violence on both sides — and while antisemitism was an ingredient, the claims of a Nazi pogrom were ridiculous.”

[Oxford Publicity @OxfordPublicity]

Great to see a review of @JHUPress' TERMINUS: WESTWARD EXPANSION, CHINA, AND THE END OF AMERICAN EMPIRE by @Sturollo in the journal International Affairs @IAJournal_CH.

[Stu Rollo @Sturollo]

A deeply thought provoking piece by @eda__gunaydin that ties historical anti-war cultural and protest movements with the ongoing crimes against humanity being perpetrated by Israel in Gaza. Expansive and personal, with deftly selected poetry throughout.

A piece I wrote for @SydReviewBooks on Australian foreign policy between the United States and China. Looking at two important recent works on the topic from @SamRoggeveen and Clinton Fernandes.
