I have decided to open a Substack account to share articles in the Atlantic, episodes of #ShieldoftheRepublic and occasional short commentaries, recommended articles and the like. A new venture, so bear with me while I learn that medium https://t.co/qyqFGdyhQ8

I recently spent a week in France, and have some thoughts about our oldest alliance. Here's my latest in @theAtlantic https://t.co/oe1AInAaaV

[Adrienne LaFrance @AdrienneLaF]

This is a really lovely essay by @EliotACohen: https://t.co/b2QoEJ3YfU

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

The United States’ alliance with France has long come with “spats and fits of temper, ruptures, and reconciliations,” @EliotACohen argues. But “the American relationship with France remains, whatever its difficulties, one to cherish.” https://t.co/ukodRZ0hVq

[Eliot A Cohen @EliotACohen]

Words like "victory" and "defeat" rarely do justice to the complexities of war. And the word "quagmire" is positively useless. My latest in @theAtlantic https://t.co/oCd15ruvWn

[David Makovsky @DavidMakovsky]

I sat down with former Israeli Air Force commander Amir Eshel and @EliotACohen to discuss early military lessons from the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran. Listen now, on the latest episode of Decision Points, wherever you get your podcasts. https://t.co/nVydofhaN9

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

The commentary on the Iran war has featured lazy pronouncements, questionable analogies, and tired catchphrases—all of which obscure the reality of a complex conflict that is far from over, @EliotACohen argues. https://t.co/XeYCIgY4Gj

[Eliot A Cohen @EliotACohen]

Also, latest episode of #ShieldoftheRepublic: lots on the Iran War, the UK local elections, Putin's worsening position in Russia, and the departure of large numbers of US diplomats: https://t.co/UW4r9Jcxl9 @BulwarkOnline

[Eliot A Cohen @EliotACohen]

My latest in @theAtlantic: the allies have every reason to be furious at the administration. They should still send the frigates: https://t.co/cKT8l1dqhN.

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

European nations “have very good reasons to be furious with the Trump administration”—but assisting the U.S. in the Strait of Hormuz may actually be in their best interest, @EliotACohen argues: https://t.co/HyaZCI2pRF

[No Labels @NoLabelsOrg]

Closing the Strait of Hormuz is a real threat to the U.S. But it's also a threat to Iran.

Dr. @EliotACohen, one of America's foremost military strategists, told us today how Tehran's long-term production capacity — and the regime itself — is at risk.

[Eliot A Cohen @EliotACohen]

Latest episode of #ShieldoftheRepublic. As often is the case, Secretary of Defense (yes, Defense) Pete Hegseth gets some criticism, but most of the time Eric and I talk Iran with some other brewing trouble spots, and backstabbing in the administration. https://t.co/XYqj0OmAoj

And a real pleasure to visit. Schools and programs like this one are what give me hope for academe. Thanks @ufhamilton!

[Andrew A. Michta @andrewmichta]

Delighted to welcome a preeminent strategist and my good friend ⁦⁦@EliotACohen⁩ to ⁦@ufhamilton⁩. Thank you, Eliot, for your inspiring lecture. @AtlanticCouncil @HooverInst

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

The U.S. is more resilient than the pessimists think, @EliotACohen argues—and Viktor Orbán’s defeat is a lesson “for those who saw in Orbán’s Hungary America’s future or even America’s present.” https://t.co/27ilKbGzJu

[Eliot A Cohen @EliotACohen]

Eric Edelman and I reflect on the Iran War, the firing of GEN Randy George by Secretary of Defense (not War) Pete Hegseth, and more. Latest episode of Shield of the Republic @BulwarkOnline https://t.co/3mvO0tBLxC

Who ever thought I'd end up on Comedy Cellar, or at least its podcast, Live From the Table, for an article in
