NATO is planning to open a liaison office in Tokyo, the first of its kind in Asia, Nikkei Asia has learned. The station will allow it to conduct periodic consultations with Japan and key partners as China emerges as a new challenge. asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Int…

Really worth a read on @TheAtlantic today, about Ukraine's looming counteroffensive, @anneapplebaum and @JeffreyGoldberg arguing that Ukraine should be supported to liberate all of its territory. Ukrainian victory is important to all of us. theatlantic.com/magazine/arc…

Zelensky’s Plan to Defeat Russia—And Take Back Crimea

The future of the democratic world will be determined by whether the Ukrainian military can break the stalemate and drive Russia out of its territory.

1/ We are currently experiencing a decolonization moment in East European and Eurasian Studies that is becoming a new paradigm in the field. Over the last few months, I have attended several conferences in the area, and here are some of the observations and reflections. 🧵

Check out our latest entry in Emerging Voices! Our staff writer Dan Kent sat down with S. Douglas Bunch, a public delegate at @USUN. The interview offers a valuable insider perspective into the career of a public delegate and the importance of the #UN. buff.ly/3oCcwKX

This is a great 🧵! I would place the start of the Cold War to 1918 itself (the start of allied intervention in the Russian Civil War), but fully agree that "the Cold War" well pre-dated World War II (and that has implications for 🇺🇸-🇨🇳 relations today).

When did the Cold War truly start? And why this might matter for our current confrontation/competition with China 🧵

Agree with this. There is no general anti-Western opinion in most developing countries. On the contrary, most are positive to the US.

Last week China, in the bluntest terms, told Russia that using nuclear weapons of any type was unacceptable. Yesterday India did as well. People amplifying Russia nuclear threats for some reason never mention this…. m.timesofindia.com/india/qua…

History poorly read fosters misunderstanding of the fighting in Ukraine, as I argued in a previous article of in @TheAtlantic. It also obstructs clear thinking about peace or a ceasefire. @CSIS @SAISHopkins @PhillipsPOBrien @WarintheFuture @SlawomirDebski theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

The Shortest Path to Peace

Supporting and arming Ukraine, and accelerating the collapse of the Russian military, is the most realistic way to end the conflict.

To be perfectly clear, nobody *forced* Eastern European states to join NATO. For example, I explain the experience of the Baltic States in this 🧵 from last year. xitter.cf/ProfPaulPoast/status/1…

The Ukraine crisis has folks questioning @NATO's post-Cold War expansion into Eastern Europe, especially former Soviet Republics (namely the Baltic states of 🇪🇪🇱🇹🇱🇻). So how exactly did the Baltics get into NATO? [THREAD]

Incredible scenes in India. For weeks pro-govt anchors have paved way for today by peddling conspiracy theory that BBC is Chinese propaganda. Mindboggling for anyone who knows anything: BBC is perhaps the org *most* detested by the CCP as "foreign hand" washingtonpost.com/world/202…

Indian government raids BBC offices in wake of documentary critical of Modi

The raids took place in New Delhi less than a month after Narendra Modi's government censored a BBC documentary deemed critical of the prime minister.
