The Iran strike was probably the right move. We may need to do it again. Read more from @EHarding_DC:

Click here for a look at what just happened with the strikes on Iran’s nuclear program…and the challenges ahead. Trump made the right call, but that call comes with a tremendous “if”….

Drones are no longer the future of warfare--they have proven decisive on the battlefield in Ukraine. With the US threatening to walk away from this fight, Ukraine is leaning into its strengths: .Important piece from @AndrewKramerNYT .

How have you seen China try to expand its influence around the world? What are the upsides for the local population? What are the downsides?.

The time to compete is now. The U.S. must outthink & outmaneuver China to win at the edge. My team at CSIS is proud to partner with @VannevarLabs to tackle the hardest of the hard issues in geostrategic competition. #Geopolitics #China #USForeignPolicy #StrategicCompetition.

China expands its influence around the world through debt traps, bad tech, & health diplomacy. To push back, the U.S. should.✅ Get hyper-local to understand views and needs.✅ Cut through misinformation with smart messaging.✅ Unify U.S. efforts for real impact.

SO WHAT (3/3):.The biggest takeaway? U.S. allies just learned to stay away. If they rely on us, they risk public humiliation, extortion for resources, & abandonment. The message is clear: America First now means America Alone.

SO WHAT (2/3):.NATO Allies rushed to support Zelensky—an implicit rebuke of Trump. But a divided NATO makes the U.S. less safe. Without alliances, we are easier to attack—economically & militarily. Beijing & Moscow took note.

SO WHAT (1/3):.Trump is likely pulling U.S. support from Ukraine. That leaves Europe to stand up to Moscow alone. But war runs on math—losing U.S. aid means Ukraine may struggle to hold the line. Europe must shift to a war footing immediately to contain Russia.

🚨 It's been a history-shifting 24 hours. Here's THE SO WHAT—breaking down what world events mean for you. 🚨.The WHAT:.Trump & Vance met with Zelensky to discuss peace & minerals. Instead, it was an unprecedented Oval Office shouting match. Some say it was a planned ambush.

Predictable. Financial need and frustration are both powerful motivators for recruitment. Let’s hope no one is mad enough to take the offer.

Winning means retaking occupied Ukrainian territory. Winning means reminding Moscow that NATO is a granite wall, protecting peace in Europe. Winning means real peace, where Moscow is too bruised to try again.

Ukraine has no intention of losing, and the US shouldn't lose either. If we roll over to the Russians, it's an open door for Russia to go after Poland. Estonia. Moldova. Germany. .
