Good piece by @DanielLarison on the incoherence and opportunism of Ron DeSantis's record on foreign policy--reason to be skeptical of his current position on Ukraine (and his position on anything else in the realm of foreign policy).

Good piece by @KelleyBVlahos in @RStatecraft. Whatever you think of the Sy Hersh piece, MSM's ignoring it is part of a larger pattern of not questioning the official US narrative about important events.

Very interesting conversation about Ukraine with career diplomat Chas Freeman on @aaronjmate's Pushback podcast.

Good thread on Putin's putting nuclear forces on alert.

Great piece by Ezra Klein about America's role in Afghanistan's unfolding humanitarian disaster. And it's not a drive-by; he hears out Biden officials re the constraints they're working under but still finds the policy indefensible.
