"Rather than embrace a foreign policy that genuinely recalibrates American strategic thinking, politicians on both the right and left remain wedded to interventionist impulses divorced from concrete realities." responsiblestatecraft.org/ma…

China’s place as the primary U.S. strategic competitor has its roots back in the early 2000s, but the narrative really took hold during Trump’s first term, when it won support from five different groups. The coalition those groups formed may be falling apart, write @jekavanagh & @PeterSlezkine: responsiblestatecraft.org/ch…

Democratic lawmakers have begun planning their post-midterm investigations into Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, whose tenure has been filled with controversy. responsiblestatecraft.org/pe…

While both main parties in contention in Israel advocate continued wars against Hamas and Iran, they differ on key domestic issues as well as their approach to settler violence in the West Bank, writes @CarolDkas responsiblestatecraft.org/is…

Whatever Brett McGurk may claim, there was little evidence the Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar's willingness to reach a deal was meaningfully influenced by disagreements between Washington and Israel, a former Biden official told @blaise_malley. responsiblestatecraft.org/br…

There is good reason to believe the peak of anti-China sentiment in U.S. politics has passed. responsiblestatecraft.org/ch…

For all our sakes, it would be better if European governments spent less time shouting in Russia’s face and more time examining their own, writes @lieven_anatol responsiblestatecraft.org/ka…

Regardless of the winner in tomorrow's election, one thing is clear: Israel is not likely to pull back from its wars in Gaza and across the Middle East any time soon. responsiblestatecraft.org/is…

Nearly two years after Biden left office, Brett McGurk is hard at work trying to paint the administration’s Gaza policy as the best possible response to a hopelessly complex crisis. His colleagues remember it differently, reports @blaise_malley responsiblestatecraft.org/br…

Rubio is embracing the language of "civilizationism," the cause du jour on the new right. But on closer examination, one suspects that Rubio is not truly offering some radical new vision, but a lot of the same old neoconservatism. responsiblestatecraft.org/ma…

In Trump's second term, the ad hoc coalition that created the apparent anti-China consensus is rapidly unraveling, write @PeterSlezkine and @jekavanagh responsiblestatecraft.org/ch…

Contra Brett McGurk, when Biden did manage to pressure Israel it actually helped secure concessions from Hamas by giving Arab govts political latitude to press the militant group themselves. @blaise_malley responsiblestatecraft.org/br…

"Contrary to (@jekavanagh's) claims, informal security partnerships and a residual U.S. presence would not provide effective assurances against (Chinese) risk of coercion." -- @jyjamespark & Brandon Carr @QuincyInst responsiblestatecraft.org/ch…

.@lieven_anatol : "NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, displaying the smirking, strutting frivolity that he has made his trademark, responded that he does 'not take this seriously.'” It would be folly if he doesn't. responsiblestatecraft.org/ka…

Hegseth, not Trump might be the first in Democrats' sites should they win big in November. @nolandenaro responsiblestatecraft.org/pe…

.@ckayerawlings & @alexjordanATL host @AnnelleSheline to talk about why Yemen is #AlwaysatWar and how the US can use its power to actually try to stop rather than fuel it. responsiblestatecraft.org/ye…

Arab parties are expected to earn 14-16 seats. This could cost Netanyahu his majority, but that wouldn’t automatically help his opponents, b/c Eisenkot’s bloc said it won’t work with the Arab parties @CarolDkas responsiblestatecraft.org/is…
