I can be quite skeptical on this concept personally, but we are always up for the challenge of rebutting Rubio and the rebranded crusaders using their own frameworks. youtu.be/5jrXcZs2Fh8

Relist UNREAL on digital platforms or shut the fuck up, Tim.
There is a real economic cost to Valve’s foray into forced political disclosures. Besides taking 30%, they’re also taking a potentially even larger fraction of developers’ revenue and livelihood by undermining their business with these AI hate campaigns.

@ChrisDMott: If the Democratic party wishes to signal a break in line with the wishes of their voters, they will not just run on a course correction in the Middle East, but push for it in office as well.

One guy on the entire team acknowledges the existence of the vice president of the United States who is standing just feet away. Humiliating.

One of the benefits of a great power concert is that the great powers can jointly shut down practically any war they want. People who rail against a spheres-of-influence world don’t seem to understand the benefits. The entire opposition to it comes from a knee-jerk moralism.

🆕 While foreign policy rarely determines U.S. election outcomes, the Iran debacle has brought the costs of military intervention directly into American household budgets. Disillusionment among voters who believed Trump’s promises to end forever wars and pursue a genuine #AmericaFirst foreign policy could lead them to stay home or reconsider their support at the polls. Will the midterms become a referendum on Trump’s foreign policy record? ⤵️ Read leading foreign policy experts’ assessments in IPD’s new symposium, featuring @ArtaMoeini, @markphannah @InGlobalAffairs, @jekavanagh @defpriorities, @MrMaitra, @GeorgeBeebe13 @QuincyInst, @SinaToossi @CIPolicy, @ChrisDMott, @RonDodson, @BrettErickson28. peacediplomacy.org/2026/10/1…

🆕 U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently delivered a speech in Greece calling on Europe to join the United States in its existential struggle to save Western civilization. At the Kyoto Symposium, IPD’s @ArtaMoeini and @ChrisDMott argue that this is tactical rebranding of liberal internationalism. Their presentation examines how the Trump administration is distorting civilizationalism and explores what a genuinely civilizational foreign policy would entail in a post-unipolar world. ⤵️ Watch now: youtube.com/watch?v=5jrXcZs2…

Replying to @AMercouris
@AMercouris: “We’re looking at a policy of conflict & aggression against non-western countries, but China specifically.” @ChrisDMott: “If America wants to be the enemy of China, they are finally picking a rivalry with someone who is designed to humiliate & outclass them.”  #Iran
Marco Rubio wants the West to rediscover what made it great. But what truly distinguishes Western civilization is not its military power or national pride, as Rubio suggests, but its intellectual and political traditions. My take:
