Wise words about the essential role of @RFERL from @RepDonBacon. The US needs an international broadcasting capability and @RFERL has been at this for 75 years.
.@RFERL is essential to bringing information to those who need it most in Russia, Iran, and other closed nations. We must continue to fund their critical work or else we will lose ground to Russia and China! The battle for hearts and minds is not partisan.

Lisa Curtis on #AUKUS: "It does make sense for a review to happen... [but] I think by large AUKUS will stay intact. I see too much strong support on both sides of the aisle for the initiative." #SIS2025 @LisaCurtisDC

"We are doing tremendous damage to ourselves when we cut US foreign aid so drastically. It’s the lowest level of foreign aid in nearly 80 years. This is going to have an impact. It’s going to impact US global power and influence and our ability to deter China," says @LisaCurtisDC

Trump, Tariffs, Trade And Tussle It’s very unfortunate that the Trump administration has allowed the U.S.-India relationship to deteriorate the way it has: ���LisaCurtisDC Except for India, the other nine member states of the SCO are either autocracies or military-dominated
