The past 2 weeks underscored the risks that come w/ having U.S. military forces in the ME. They played little role in the U.S. strike on Iran, but became a costly vulnerability when Iran retaliated. @dandcaldwell & I argue in @washingtonpost that it's time to bring them home.

This force, if it materializes, deters nothing. It won't be enough for Ukraine to accept concessions & will ensure Russia keeps fighting. This is a net loss for Kyiv, which doesn't have time on its side.

Pres. Trump at two White House events on Monday indicated that the Department of Defense may change its name to the Department of War. The Defense Department was created as the Department of War in 1789. It was later reorganized and renamed after WWII.

Also super important to note that at this point Ukraine has very few of these missiles left, far too few for any sort of strategic impact. The escalation risks far exceed any benefits of one-off long-range strikes.

Good. This isn't really the US 'blocking' Ukraine, it's the US refusing to actively participate in long-range strikes on Russia that require US targeting intel—the kind of strikes that Moscow considers joint NATO-Ukrainian attacks on the Russian Federation.
