Burning the bridge with NATO while sprinting for the exit is certainly a choice. Calling allies "cowards" for skipping a war you're suddenly abandoning anyway is peak geopolitical whiplash. With friends like these, who needs regional stability?

Revelation Without Armageddon: Why Catholic Doctrine Resists End-Times Politics The Catholic Church lives in expectation of Christ’s return, but not to anticipate its timing or to identify its precursors in specific political developments.

Not all Christians read the end times the same way.

Catholic doctrine rejects prophetic timelines, and with them, the idea that war fulfills history.

ICYMI︱Andrew O’Hehir argues that Trump has already lost the Iran war in the only senses that matter politically and strategically: he has not imposed his will, he has raised the costs, and he has exposed his own administration as vain, impulsive, and unserious. “If it’s going too far to say that Iran is winning the war —the Iranian people certainly are not— the United States has already lost it.” “It now seems clear there was internal disagreement about launching this war in the first place, and that there’s now widespread internal bewilderment about how to end it.” “Objective reality has made at least a limited comeback, in other words, and Team Trump keeps being surprised to discover that it won’t bend to their will.” Andrew O’Hehir, Salon, Sun. 29-Mar-2026

💥🔥 Trump’s Iran war already looks like a strategic and political 𝓸𝔀𝓷-𝓰𝓸𝓪𝓵: Tehran still has leverage, fuel prices are up, allies are balking, and MAGA swagger has collided with reality. ⚠️🛢️📉 #Trump #Iran #ForeignPolicy #OwnGoal #MAGA #Geopolitics

Pakistan and China propose five-part peace plan for Middle East Foreign ministers Ishaq Dar and Wang Yi met in Beijing as Pakistan pushes for peacemaker role

China and Pakistan stepping up with a peace plan is what it looks like when actual adults enter the room. About damn time someone showed leadership while Washington keeps proving it is a global punchline, not a serious steward of peace. #Iran #China #中国 #Pakistan #ForeignPolicy

Now he’s using this fake history to push for seizing Kharg Island. 🇮🇷 Suggesting we can take and hold territory "flawlessly" with "enough firepower" is the same "mission accomplished" rhetoric that led to decades of quagmire. Firepower ≠ Strategy. 💣🔥 #NoMoreWars #ForeignPolicy

Realism, Idealism, and a Balanced Foreign Policy by Emma Ashford

In Criminal Justice, We Get What We Pay For by Radley Balko

I’ve watched too many alleged “liberal” projects refuse to reckon with what those principles might mean for #foreignpolicy and #criminaljustice.
I’m very happy to see @liberalism.org is a welcome exception to that trend, curtesy of @emmamashford.bsky.social & @radleybalko.bsky.social respectively.
