🚨Research Alert🚨 Proud to present "Third-party regime type and civil war duration" by Mehwish Sarwari and myself in @JPR_journal. We analyze all intrastate conflicts 1975-2012, and show that troop support by democracies decreases the length of civil wars https://t.co/puGb7g17oi
One of the most consequential U.S. military actions in decades, Operation #EpicFury creates space for internal change in Iran.
Together with the operation in Venezuela, this action strengthens deterrent signaling toward dictators and adversaries around the world #geopolitics
As the President stated, our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime.
The President ordered bold action. CENTCOM forces are delivering an overwhelming and unrelenting blow.

@JHuitfeldt Skavlan gjorde ett ohederligt hopklipp från techledarnas möte med Trump för att driva narrativet om ”fjäsk”- men ingen frågade Bildt om möten mellan Sveriges statsminister och sv. företagsledare. Sådana möten sker regelbundet utan inbjuden press, utan publicitet, oavsett regering
@InteSosseSe@skavlanofficial@sarawimmercranz@carlbildt@oloflundh Svensk-amerikan här. Håller med. Videon med tech-ägarna är löjligt hopklippt för att passa narrativet om ”fjäsk” - i själva verket normala artigheter. Ingen som frågar Bildt hur det går till när Sveriges statsminister träffar Wallenberg - vilket sker regelbundet, både med S och M
Third, @saranorrevik and Mehwish Sarwari examine how defence cooperation agreements (DCAs) shape military #Interventions in #CivilWars, finding that DCA partners are significantly more likely to support the same conflict actors.

@BenjaminDousa Bra. Varför nekade EU Trumps bud 2018 om att införa noll-tullar och noll-NTBs under förhandlingarna mellan Juncker och Trump? Vad är så viktigt att skydda?
@gynaeceum Du har helt rätt. Lönenivån är högre, du betalar mindre i skatt, kostnaden för sjukvårdsförsäkring ryms med råge inom vad du sparar i skatt (den är till stor del är sponsrat av arbetsgivaren) + generösa skattefria sparformer som FSA, HSA, 401k, ofta med bidrag från arbetsgivaren
Never forget the October 7, 2023, massacre with over 1,200 innocent victims, many attending the Nova music festival. A barbaric pogrom of proportions not seen since the Holocaust. I am thinking of the innocent victims and pray for the return of the 101 remaining hostages.
Moog's RIwP remote weapon station is an agnostic missile launcher. Shown here with Thales Starstreak HVM and PAAG gunner's sight for the SHORAD role, it can accept Hellfire, JAGM, Javelin, Spike, and Brimstone for the anti-tank role. It can also act as a launch platform for loitering munitions and tube-launched UAS. This kind of multi-mission modularity ensures users get maximum bang for their bucks. It can be fitted to a range of armoured vehicles and perfectly complements medium calibre weapon stations.
@niklassvensson Blinken saknar erfarenhet av att ställa upp i och vinna val, han har blivit tillsatt på höga poster men aldrig vald. Han uppfattas inte folklig på samma sätt som Trump (som inte heller var politiker) och skulle aldrig vinna Mid-West
@joni_askola Excellent thread. Mearsheimer’s works lack academic rigor, his methodology is similar to that of astrologists - picking and choosing idiosyncratic phenomena to say that event x led to event y, without a systematic method or willingness to put a theory to test.
@MushtaqBilalPhD Interesting - yes being surrounded by a new language while establishing yourself at work and learning new societal norms can be exhausting (I lived in the Netherlands without knowing Dutch). I wish you success in Denmark and that you will enjoy its wonderful culture
@visegrad24 Good point. Also no protest marches in Western capitals against Arab-funded militias in Sudan who have displaced millions of Africans since 2023, with tens of thousands k*lled
@strandhall Jämförelsen är långsökt, Warmbier gjorde knappast en pr-turné efter sin fängelsetid (det var en tragedi), dessutom var han student och inte professionell diplomat
@JHuitfeldt Biden har gjort mycket bra, och har ett bättre track record än de flesta presidenter i modern tid. Världsbanken beskriver USAs ekonomi som exceptionell och en motor i världsekonomin https://t.co/9nX5VM8GWJ
"They put themselves here for what? Because it was the right thing to do... they were not gaining territory, they were not here for riches, they were not here to conquer anything. They were really here in order to mend the future." Tom Hanks reflects on the heroes of D Day
@visegrad24 Her newfound fixation on Israel is disgraceful and fully antisemitic. Of course, war is terrible. The fixation on Palestine is not about a concern for civilians. Greta didn’t lift a finger for other civilians that are being butchered around the world: South Sudan, Yemen, Ukraine
