I publish books on international and public policy issues. Love to read, discuss politics and to browse foreign news media. Retweet does not mean endorsement.

Empty Tables. A French chanson about regret, silence, and the words that linger after passion fades. Performed by Dim Francis. English subtitles included.

An unofficial, unauthorized, and deeply unnecessary musical interpretation of submarine life.
Archival footage lightly abused.
This battle over Abrego Garcia is simple. It doesn't matter that he was here illegally. It doesn't matter if he's a gang member or if he's a wife beater (both of which are disputed). It doesn't matter if you think he deserves to be deported or to be in prison. / thread
As many inexplicably seem to be throwing President @ZelenskyyUa to the wolves, I stand with him. He’s been an astoundingly courageous and inspiring leader in horrendous circumstances, and deserves so much better than the way he is currently being treated/smeared.
I admire a lot of what you do, @elonmusk .. but your vicious attack on President Zelensky last night was incredibly disappointing. Anything negative to say about Vladimir Putin - or is it just the guy whose country he illegally invaded who is the problem?
