I suspect some people will think John Mearsheimer and I coordinated the near-simultaneous release of our new books (mine: THE HELL OF GOOD INTENTIONS and his: THE GREAT DELUSION). We didn't. Indeed, mine was delayed by > 1 year by the need to deal w/the 2016 election.

I'm grateful to Murtaza Hussain for this excellent and fair-minded review. Post-Cold War U.S. foreign policy has been a near total failure. Two new books look at why. interc.pt/2R5df19 by @mazmhussain

You’ll want to read chapter 6 of my new book, where I suggest Trumpism in foreign policy is in many ways a return to Cheneyism (among other things). pic.twitter.com/WN9Jz7YDXu

The U.S. has defined the entire world as its vital national interest, and sticks its fingers in the politics of everywhere as a result, says @stephenWalt. #FPPowerProblems j.mp/2CPBmxS

Wrote a review of new books by @stephenWalt and John Mearsheimer on America’s deeply troubled post-Cold War foreign policy. A realist take for a pseudo-realist presidency: theintercept.com/2018/10/21/us-…

@stephenWalt argues that the US “spent the past quarter century pursuing an ambitious, unrealistic, and mostly unsuccessful foreign policy.” He blames a foreign policy establishment that “rewards conformity”, “penalizes dissent”, and lacks accountability. For more, see his book.

Trump claims Saudi arms deal creates 1 million new jobs.
Fact-check: the ENTIRE US defense contracting industry employs 335,000 people in the US. Lockheed said the Saudi arms deal would create several hundred new jobs - in Saudi Arabia. twitter.com/ddale8/status/…

How you respond to the murder of Khashoggi is a litmus test of whether you can be taken credibly on anything. If you swallow this bullshit, you will swallow anything.

Why is it so hard for Thomas Friedman to simply say “I’m sorry; I got fooled by MBS. I was wrong.” We all make mistakes; the question is how we react when our errors are exposed.

The secretary of state, who just visited the two countries involved in a full blown diplomatic crisis over the disappearance of a journalist and subsequently briefed the president, talked to reporters for roughly three minutes and took two questions. That was it.
