more valuable than meeting Putin at G-20 would be Potus meeting w Europeans to coordinate response to Russian aggression vs Ukraine. such a response should include intell/arms to ukraine, sanctions, NATO enhancements, and greater energy independence from russia

CIA director, not cabinet secretaries w policy role, should be offering judgment re MBS role in Khashoggi murder. Smoking gun standard may make sense for court of law but not for US foreign policy, which must decide/act based on best available information.

as rates and deficit rise, trying to reduce debt w/o reducing growth in entitlements and some discretionary spending and introducing selective tax hikes is like going on diet but not cutting out ice cream, soda, and second helpings.

.⁦⁩ seems to have difficulty distinguishing betw environmentalism (clean water and air) and climate change. A country can make progress on former (as US has) but still contribute to and remain vulnerable to latter (as US does and is).

. doesnt accept CIA’s judgment re the Khashoggi murder, ignores his own administration’s report on climate change, and rejects evidence of Russian interference in 2016 election. This anti-intelligence, anti-science bias when it doesnt suit him is truly dangerous.

Timing may not be everything, but it can be a lot. While this statement by Potus would be unwelcome any day, it is especially unfortunate today given new Russian military action against Ukraine as it signals Putin he has little to worry about from a divided distracted West.

In wake of latest Russia military action vs Ukraine, US/Europe should 1) convene UN Security Council; 2) increase/accelerate strengthening of NATO; 3) explore introducing new sanctions vs Russia; 4) explore additional ways of assisting Ukraine w intelligence, military transfers.

Tony Blair makes a strong case for parliament voting down Brexit. What would happen then is anybody’s guess. But what happens if parliament oks the deal is anybody’s guess. I know Americans in no position to cast stones, but strange way to run a country.

Sorry Bill, but the short answer is “no.” The principal aim of US foreign policy should be to shape the foreign policy of others. Regime change will prove beyond reach, but trying to bring it about will preclude cooperation w China where we need it on regional and global threats

More than the rise of China or terrorism or proliferation, climate change could well prove to be the major threat to American economic and physical well-being this century. Those denying the science are unilaterally disarming in the face of this threat.

Was just scolded that tweeting and thanksgiving do not go hand in hand. So i guess the focus today will be on turkey not twitter. Sounds like a plus all around.

For some reason, concern over climate change/global warming has become an elite and mostly Democratic issue. those who resent elites and/or are Repubs feel compelled to deny it. This is tragic given its impact on us all and the urgent need to adopt policies to fight/adapt to it.

. right that world is a dangerous place. What he fails to see is that many of his policies-turning blind eye to murders by MBS and Putin, leaving INF treaty, JCPOA, & TPP, not challenging NK over not denuclearizing, denying climate change-are making things worse.

what is so off about the Trump statement about Saudi Arabia (beyond the pinched realism, incomplete take on Yemen, discounting of intelligence, etc) is the judgment that Saudi Arabia has been and is such a good US ally when the record suggests otherwise.

The issue is not just MBS's implausible deniability in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi; it is a series of decisions not in the US or even Saudi self-interest. My latest on what needs to be done:

For any negotiation to work, for a situation to be ripe for resolution, there must be leaders on both sides both able and willing to compromise. Such conditions clearly absent when it comes to Israel and Palestinians.

There are 2 takeaways from this piece. 1st, there is increased upward mobility in China. What should bother Americans is not that (which is China’s doing) but rather the tapering off of upward mobility here, which will have corrosive effects if it persists

we dont normally think of toilets as a foreign policy issue, but they are. roughly 1 billion people in the world do not have access to toilets-and far more than that to safe toilets. this is a major public health issue and needs to be a higher development priority

Fine with Brexit being undone in Parliament. Would be representative democracy at work-and an ironic but fitting end to what was a misguided and often dishonest exercise in direct democracy.
