America spent 80 years building the most powerful alliance network in history. We blew it up in 12 months so one man could feel important. China is laughing. Russia is relieved. Our allies are making backup plans. Let’s flush the toilet of bad history. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
Although likely inconsistent with international or domestic law, I believe the strike on Iran was necessary. It weakens the “axis of evil” — with Russia tied down in Ukraine and Iran weakened — and may make China think twice about attacking Taiwan, possibly delaying a global conflict by 10–15 years🤔

History shows that the cost of prevention is always lower than the cost of war. Better to be wise before the damage occurs than courageous when it’s already irreversible. Europe must act now !!
PM Tusk: Now we have a simple choice. Either money today or blood tomorrow. And I am not talking about #Ukraine only, I am talking about Europe. And this is our decision to make. And only ours. I think all European leaders have to finally rise to this occasion. So this is all that I can say.
Good start. Breaking energy dependence was essential. Now EU should show the same determination in building credible military and defence independence. True independence isn’t only about where our energy comes from, but also about our ability to protect our values and borders on our own terms. 💪🇪🇺
Ursula von der Leyen: We are entering a new era: Europe’s energy independence from Russian fossil fuels.Thanks to REPowerEU, Russian gas imports - both LNG and pipeline -are down from 45% at the beginning of the war to 13% today. Coal imports are down from 51% at the beginning of the war to zero.
Alaska showed power’s illusion: Trump bowed, Putin grinned, yet history refused to yield. Europe held, Ukraine endured, and weakness dressed as strength collapsed in plain sight.
Thoughts on Alaska one week later: 1. Trump's invitation of Putin to US soil remains a massive betrayal of everything that the US stands for. 2. His invitation did nothing positive: Putin won & Trump appears his obedient servant. /1

Modern warfare favors cheap, adaptable drones and smart software over costly legacy systems—speed of innovation now beats raw firepower. These conclusions are good food for thought for anyone shaping future military strategy 👇 The Dawn of Automated Warfare reader.foreignaffairs.com/2025/08/12/t...

Land for peace with Russia would be the biggest invitation ever for Russia to continue with its aggression.
⚡️Trump reportedly tells European allies, Zelensky that Putin open to land-swap talks. The comments came during a phone call on Aug. 6, just two days before U.S. President Donald Trump's deadline for Russia to agree to a ceasefire.

I agree with this about Putin. He has locked himself into a position that leads to the destruction of Russia. The West is still living in a dream world about a reasonable, realistic Russia that can be negotiated with.
He is not risking everything. He has no other choice if he wants to survive. He will never never give up the chosen path. Thinking about peace is western dreaming without any realism nor evidence.

I had to read this twice to believe it...Meloni, who ran for office on an anti-immigration platform, has now announced plans to let in hundreds of thousands of immigrants, in order to deal with the Italian labor shortage www.reuters.com/world/italy-...

Russian terror isn't getting attention either any longer. Every newspaper should be draped in black each time this happens. Leaders should flock to the cameras. Instead we have a deafening silence. Shame on all of us for accepting this.
Russian missile strike on Kryvyi Rih. 14 dead, five of them children. Over 50 people injured. The numbers continue to increase. 📹: parents by the body of their son. Russia killed him.

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...
