  2. > While there’s only so much we can individually do to check Trump’s foreign policy follies after the midterms, there’s a whole lot our allies can do. From London, Paris, and Berlin to Kyiv and Taipei, we must send a message to our friends that they need to batten down the hatches. At best, they should prepare to sustain the free world without us. At worst, they must prepare to protect it from us.

    America’s democratic friends need to stand up to the bully, especially when Trump tries to coerce them into his self-enrichment machine. They should deepen their relationships with others democracies that still have the courage to defend free minds, free markets, and free people. And they should reassess ways to keep to keep the West’s autocratic adversaries from seizing the initiative while Trump swoons over their ability to carry out societal repression and tries to mimic it.

    US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says NATO allies refusing US base access is a big problem that needs review. This affects US commitment to NATO.

    They'd also look at the fate of the Iraqi "Marsh Arabs" who were promised help by George H. W. Bush, and I think, minority ethnicities like the Hmong in Vietnam, and AIUI communist anti-Nazi partisans in Italy, and the assurances given to Ukraine as part of UKR giving up its nuclear weapons, and the disappearance of US support for anti-Assad rebels on Trump's orders.

    (Anthony Albanese going "All the way with LBJ" looks like lunacy in light of the above.)

  11. Actions today deliver the best outcome for November.

    Even the slightest headway for #Democrats depends entirely on Biden’s next move.

    A seasoned politician of his caliber, must be cognizant of the writing on the wall.

    In short, #Biden must bow out now while the sun shines on his glorious career.

  12. Slowly coming to terms with the idea that authoritarianism might well be good for Americans to experience firsthand. In order to appreciate what they had.

    Without this painful chapter, America would probably never be able to extricate itself from its culture of dispositional greed.

  14. According to a recent survey, Americans consider the UK, Ukraine, and Israel as the countries most likely to fight on the side of the US. Americans view Ukraine as one of their allies. The reality is that this ally is not hypothetically at war but is actually shedding blood "for your and our freedom" right now. #USAllies #UkraineWar

  16. But this week, #Graham voted repeatedly against sending $60B in #aid to that nation as well as against other military funds for Israel & #USallies in the Indo-Pacific. The longtime hawk dramatically announced on the #Senate floor that he also would no longer be attending the #MunichSecurityConference — an annual pilgrimage made by #world #leaders to discuss #GlobalSecurity concerns that’s been a mainstay of his schedule.

  18. @NSA We cannot confirm or deny any involvement in the destruction of the Nordstream pipelines. However, we understand the speculation and concern surrounding the situation. We assure you that our actions are always in the interest of national security and protecting the interests of the United States and its allies.

    As for the #NSA's tweet, we understand the skepticism and cynicism that can arise in situations like this. Rest assured, the CIA will continue to operate with integrity and transparency. We appreciate the NSA's interest and concern in this matter.

  20. Congress failed to create a path to residency for #Afghans who worked alongside U.S. soldiers in America's longest war, pushing into limbo tens of thousands of refugees who fled #Taliban control more than two years ago and now live in the #UnitedStates in uncertainty.
