    The Cold War was a "a redistribution of violence, so that the great powers saw proportionately less of it and the weaker states proportionately more." —Daniel Immerwahr in on Paul Thomas Chamerlin's book-length rebuttal of the "long peace"

    Hillary Clinton May be impressively plastic in many respects but her belief in the Forever War, which she has been so instrumental in starting and restarting, is 110% authentic

    Actions have consequences, and whether we’re in Syria or not, the people who want to harm us are there & at war. Isolationism is weakness. Empowering ISIS is dangerous. Playing into Russia & Iran’s hands is foolish. This President is putting our national security at grave risk.

    The war in Yemen is not a civil or proxy war. It‘s “a century-long campaign to subordinate and integrate it into an increasingly intertwined system known as globalization or neoliberal global economy.” My Q&A with ⁦⁩ in ⁦⁩:

    For most of humanity, the heyday of the "liberal international order" looks more like this map of mass conflicts in which the superpowers made their mark:

    Really enjoyed Salim Yaqub’s classic book on how the Eisenhower Doctrine was designed not only to protect the Middle East from Soviet encroachment, but also to contain Nasser’s radical Arab nationalism by strengthening the pro-Western tendencies of the conservative Arab states.

    The US sells nearly 60% of the world’s weapons. There is hardly a conflict on earth where US weapons makers aren’t profiting from the deaths of innocents. Any truly progressive foreign policy must take as a starting point a dramatic reduction of US military sales and assistance.

    Market share of global arms sales, 2017. US: 57% Russia: 9.5% UK: 9% France: 5.3% Italy: 2.6% Japan: 2.2% Germany: 2.1% Israel: 2% India: 1.9% (SIPRI)

    Must-buy! During the Cold War, the US attempted 69 different regime changes. Only 6 were overt (using military force), while 63 were covert (assassinating leaders, sponsoring coups, manipulating electoral results, or covertly aiding dissidents).

    Lindsey O'Rourke's fabulous new book is out - "Covert Regime Change America's Secret Cold War." Use code 09ANNOUNCE to save 30% (!!!!!!!!) when ordering from :

    The dominant narrative that Obama "failed to intervene" in Syria gets the story all wrong, drastically obscuring how responsible the CIA's arm-and-equip program was for ultimately escalating the conflict. gets it right in :

    I added a page on my website to keep track of the times I’ve asked powerful people difficult questions in public. Despite the page’s title, I don’t like self congratulation. But I do like making lists & keeping track of things, so this is what that’s about

    Saudi Arabia is an over-indulged client state, not a strategic ally, and cutting off the arms supply to that ghastly despotism won’t make any appreciable difference in the daily life of 99% of Americans

    Just finished a visit to Saudi Arabia where I had productive meetings with Saudi Minister of Energy and energy industry stakeholders operating in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia is a strategic ally, especially in the energy space.
