Best fun: history, travel, reading, eating out, good wine, vintage cocktails, US politics, reading Twitter as an antidote to my optimism about humanity.

SNYDER: Our entire diplomatic process has been reduced to only two negotiators: president’s son-in-law and president’s friend. They are not diplomats.

You would probably say, “That looks incredibly corrupt,” and you would also say, “That looks like it could never work.”

And it can never work. It won’t work with Ukraine, it won’t work with Iran. In fact, it has already failed with both Ukraine and Iran.

But the deeper problem is that United States cannot help anyone negotiate an end to a war unless United States has clear sense of its own interests.

And Trump administration does not operate on the basis of American interests. It operates on the basis of what is convenient for few people around Trump.

@GBNT1952 Thank you. One of the best analyses I have seen on this war - and I read a lot of journalism and listen to lot of serious, qualified podcast experts.

Taiwan and Ukraine should cooperate much more closely and rapidly to develop Taiwan's drone arsenal, especially sea drones.

X is absolutely garbage now. Unless you are posting rage bait, your posts get sent to a dumpster to be lit aflame.

Iran Deal By Obama:
•Strait of Hormuz open for free
•Iran limits Uranium enrichment
•Iran agrees to make no nuclear weapons
•Iran allows Int'l inspectors to ensure compliance
•Inspectors confirm Iran's full compliance

Iran Ceasefire By Trump:
•Strait of Hormuz closed, only open for $2M Per Ship
•Iran makes no guarantee of limit on uranium enrichment
•Iran makes no guarantee of no nuclear weapons
•Iran makes no guarantee to allow Int'l inspectors

MAGA: Trump Playing 5D Chess! Art Of The Deal!!

I wonder how soon it will be before Trump fires Pete Hegseth as the scapegoat for losing the Iran War?

[Lyndon Sharp @lyndons]

@Ad_Tel_210168 Iranians are being quite careful NOT to kill too many US soldiers. Their strategy depends on building the opposition to the US invasion of Iran - they do NOT want Americans rallying in support of the war.

[Lyndon Sharp @lyndons]

@urvalequinn @Ad_Tel_210168 Wouldn't a deeper take be - It may demonstrate that the local people, who only have hand-guns or rifles, are defending their country against invaders? They may not like their govt, but they're united against a US invasion. The US now has the entire nation united against it.

BREAKING: Stunning new polling from YouGov reveals Donald Trump hemorrhaging support from Latino voters. This will spell disaster for Republicans in the upcoming midterms. Let’s go.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

Donald Trump is in poor health IMO.
This is not normal.

I do not believe we have any idea what he is taking or dealing with medically.

IMO they have hid his medical condition just as they did his taxes, the Epstein files, Jan 6 records and recent employment+economy numbers.
