The US' strict energy blockade of Cuba has lasted about 1.5 months now. The nation has expended almost all its reserves, and something appears to have caused a complete blackout.

In my latest policy brief, I argue policymakers should anticipate further escalation of Russian internet censorship, including the blocking of all remaining foreign platforms and messaging apps *very soon*.

Analysis by Eyes on Geopolitics of @theteamhouse.bsky.social
Iran, Russia, etc. are all making more money now thanks to Trump and Netanyahu's war on Iran. Also, Trump's DoD decided not to buy Ukraine's anti-drone tech, so now the US can't defend against Iran's drones

Many years ago, this old @ricksteves.bsky.social documentary on Iran had a major impact on my understanding of the country and its people. Definitely worth watching all this time later

Looks like he wants to choose the dumbest option of all. Feels likely at this point.
Shouldn't be a surprise, but somehow it still is

After Rubio's classified briefing on Iran, Sen. Gallago said Trump lacks:
-plan for getting out
-a concept of victory
-a real or consistent justification for the war

Amateur guesses on Iran's future, from most to least likely:
1. No real domestic political change + (tens of) thousands killed by the gov + gov gets nukes
2. Short civil war yields similar regime
3. Syria style civil war
4. New, slightly more "liberal" regime that's icy to Israel and US

Hi #PoliSky #IRSky, does anyone have pieces to recommend on why we might sometimes like to use empirical methods without attempting causal inference? Running short and trying to justify illustrative/descriptive work. Thanks!
A conservative estimate, with 2/3 likely being civilians by the IDF's count

![Trump re-truthed Robert Dunlap's post, which read ”So at what point are we going to realize the enemy is within?" China and Russia are the boogeymen when the real threat is the U.N., NATO, and this ‘religion,’ [Islam]. I put ‘religion’ in quotes because it’s not a religion. It’s a [death] cult! Yeh, I went there.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jzeuyk2uze35okcorrcrwafx/bafkreigrlar7hdi7qvfg3i4kzurt22txs2dcau65m77ylst5u7wu7hvhae)

The NATO cuts^ combined with his tacit endorsement of the idea NATO, the UN, and Islam are the real enemies of the US -- and that China and Russia are not actual threats or enemies -- feel like a new line has been crossed as part of a fairly clear trajectory

At the same time, Trump has gutted the agency, reducing its workforce by 1/3 and having many of the remaining staff work immigration. Morale is super low.
