Amazing that anyone would care what this crackpot has to say about anything.

Remember that if Trump hadn’t pulled out of the JCPOA, Iran’s HEU would not exist. And the Iranian offer Trump rejected included blending this material down. The risks to US military personnel if Trump orders this mission are entirely his fault.

The same strait he categorized as unimportant 24 hours earlier.

Is it normal for a TV producer to inquire about whether you’d like to be on a show, only to ghost you after you say “sure?”

As usual, The Economist nails it:

The definition of a hack. He wants daddy’s approval.

I was stupid enough to pitch something to the Atlantic today.

Gabbard: “Prior to the current operations, Iran’s strategic position had been significantly degraded.”

“There has been no efforts [by Iran] since then to try to rebuild their enrichment capability.”

Ok, so what was the point of the war?

Explain all those out-of-area missions then.

The 2026 Iran War is more similar to the 2003 Iraq War than a lot of people think.

1. Both were justified on a bogus claim of imminent threat.

2. Both leaned on poor assumptions that were quickly disproven.

3. Both underestimated the capabilities of the enemy.

4. Both could have been avoided.

You forgot unconstitutional.

X is such bullshit now.

Mexico’s government is successfully taking the fight to the cartels, but Trump is pressing for more. Daniel DePetris considers the future of U.S.-Mexico relations in the Foreign Policy Essay.

Mentally deranged individual who the media treats as a foreign policy expert.

Hegseth is so tough, manly and confident that I can’t see straight.

Opinion | Trump Is Banking on Iranian Weakness. That’s a Mistake.

Incredibly frustrating to pitch numerous ideas, which get summarily rejected, only to read a piece like this, which tells us absolutely nothing and is the definition of uninteresting. I don’t understand op-ed editors. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/o...

Abominable but completely unsurprising.

You mean Israel’s Ambassador to the U.S.?

“Thanks, but we’ll pass” is the bane of my existence.
