I stumbled on this old Firing Line with William F. Buckley from 1975 with then Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Whatever you think of Kissinger, or Buckley for that matter, this level of sophisticated policy discussion is sorely missing today.

What would Colin Powell say about Trump's Pentagon DEI purge? That fear, chaos and anger are no way to run a military. Admiral @stavridisj remembers his mentor via @opinion.

It's almost like POTUS is more concerned with quick wins than long-term disasters.

Ru doesn’t want Ukraine in NATO so it can keep invading it. Keeping Ukraine out of NATO is the opposite of solving the problem, it prolongs it by inviting another Russian invasion.

The idea of locking Ukraine out of peace talks is unlikely to be a popular one in the U.S. Russia/Putin are VERY unpopular (favorable rating under 10%). To put in perspective, about as many think we faked the moon landing or that the Earth is flat as like Russia or Putin.

I feel like this piece took almost as long to write as it did Iraq to become a "real place." So please read it. All of it. There is a surprise treat at the end. Maybe. via @opinion.

Man, he's 90 and still the best politician in America. (Silver to Jerry.) Still, it's legit to wonder why she apparently never mentions him in her autobiography, and her ungrateful line: "His career is over; I will be alive and kicking for the next 40 years.”.

I have no clue on the criminal charges, but Grameen was always a fraud and good reporting showed it at the time. As usual, the Nobel committee was oblivious. In their defense, at least he's not a war criminal like, say, Abiy Ahmed.

JD Vance says women who haven’t given birth like Kamala Harris are “childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives,” and have “no direct stake” in America.

The US military has since the "second offset" of the 1970s favored quality over quantity, and that should quell some of the panic over ship numbers, hypersonics, nukes, etc. then again, as @stavridisj likes to say, "quantity has a quality all its own".

This has become beyond unacceptable, but because it’s a slow moving crisis that won’t prove disastrous unless there is a (low probability) conflict, we continue to just largely talk…. We need a massive shipbuilding industrial base investment backed with a clear shipbuilding.
