“It’s very clear to me… that the Israeli offensive [on Lebanon] right now is completely counterproductive… the only thing that Israel is achieving is giving Hezbollah, which has already been significantly weakened, a new lease of life.” Greek PM @kmitsotakis tells me “we have a strategic partnership with Israel but friends need to speak truth to friends.” ¹https://x.com/i/status/2041937456782619110

Both parties have displayed remarkable wisdom and understanding and have remained constructively engaged in…

Efforts to describe an underlying doctrine describing the Trump second term foreign policy all fail, including the administration’s own National Security Strategy from November 2025. The war with Iran contradicts the stated priorities in the NSS, and are simply the outgrowth of Trump’s perception of self-interest.

My message is clear: To the USA & Israel: It is high time to stop the war that is inflicting immense human suffering & triggering devastating economic consequences. To Iran: Stop attacking your neighbours. Conflicts end when leaders choose dialogue over destruction. That choice still exists. And it must be made now.¹https://x.com/i/status/2039736694275018903 ²He is the ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations, having held the office since 2017.

BLUFª Maybe with some luck we could take a small island in the Persian Gulf, but I don’t think we could hold it, and even if we did, it would hardly affect the course of the war. In the process, many Americans would die for a lost cause. ª Bottom Line Up Front There is much talk about President Trump preparing to launch a ground attack against Iran. In the media discourse, much is made of the fact we have about 50,000 troops in the region. See the three articles…

I don’t think people realize just how extraordinary what we’re witnessing with Iran is. I was arguing with a dear journalist friend of mine yesterday who was telling me that Iran was winning, yes, but only on the strategic level, not tactically. The type of thing a skinny kid getting stuffed in lockers in highschool tells himself to make himself feel better: “These people will BEG to work for me in ten years. Everyone knows jocks peak in highschool. They’ll literally beg.” I think that’s precisely wrong, and that’s what…
