My new op-ed: the end of the luxury of a cost-free foreign policy for Canada

Great quote, @AlanEyre1: “Iran is perfectly happy to substitute process for progress.”

[Ryan Evans @EvansRyan202]

A servicemember on active duty has no business using the uniform to carry water for a party, a candidate, or a partisan cause. Of course, troops can and ought to be able to vote. They can and ought to be able to hold views, including fierce ones.
But once rank ​o​r uniform gets put to work in a partisan fight, the line has been crossed. This is enshrined in UCMJ, defense regulations and policy (that are still on the books in the current admin), and norms.
No campaigning for a party in uniform, no public endorsement of a partisan cause that trades on one's active duty status, and certainly no demanding the resignation of a public official while in uniform. Nothing that could reasonably lead the public to conclude the military has taken a partisan side is acceptable.

Institutionalized corruption:

In his first year back in office, Trump "has collected about $1.4 billion in new revenues from cryptocurrency businesses that directly benefited from his actions as president."

@FrancisLessard1 Oui - le livre est très clair, très bien écrit. Il explique bien la base, et en même temps donne une analyse très nuancée.

[Thomas Juneau @thomasjuneau]

This is one of the best books on Israel I've read. Nuanced and thoughtful analysis, very clearly written, very comprehensive.

There is a new forthcoming edition of my book "Hope & Despair"

It includes a new epilogue ("Victory or Peace") - taking stock of everything that has happened since the book was launched.

I might be biased, but I think you should pre-order it

Very good. It is more than overdue for a Canadian prime minister to go to Saudi Arabia.

لماذا لم تنجح الولايات المتحدة في هزيمة إيران؟ وما الذي يعنيه ذلك لمحور المقاومة، وللحوثيين تحديدا؟

في هذا التحليل، يجيب توماس جونو @thomasjuneau، زميل غير مقيم في مركز صنعاء، عن هذين السؤالين، في حين يرى أن واشنطن لم تحقق أهدافها، ،وأن الحرب كشفت تغيرا في وظيفة محور المقاومة الذي برز الحوثيون فيه كاستثناء.

Book of the week - For Blood and Soil: Far-Right Extremism in Canada by my friends and frequent co-authors @AmarAmarasingam & @StephanieCarvin. Great and unique analysis of the historical and current landscape of far-right extremism in Canada and of efforts to counter it.

Great to see the New York Times writing on Bukhara in Uzbekistan. A beautiful, fascinating, absolutely unique city.

I spent a week there in 2002 and, with Sana'a in Yemen, it is probably my favorite city in the world:

Iran will not forget the tremendous leverage it gained by closing the Strait of Hormuz. Neither will it agree to permanently forego the option of resorting to this tactic again. Rather, it will integrate it into its strategy, writes @thomasjuneau.

🚨🎙️In light of the events in Montréal this week, we recorded a special episode of Secure Line, bringing together all our analysis of the attack and the manifesto. A critical listen for anyone trying to make sense of this:

[Chatham House @ChathamHouse]

The Axis of Resistance failed to deter Israel and the US. Whatever deal emerges, Tehran will rebuild its deterrence around the threat Iran poses to the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf states.
