Vladimir Putin was the only winner in last week’s Oval Office grudge match between Donald Trump and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump harmed US national security by ignoring our profound, long-standing interest in European stability, which we learned through the 20th Century’s two hot world wars and one Cold War. Ensuring our enemies do not […]
Read MoreDr. Dave Wurmser There is a spurt of great optimism on both sides of the political spectrum in the United States, and even Israel, that the Lebanese government, now that it has installed Joseph Aoun as its president, will finally leverage Israel’s devastating victory over Hizballah to assert Lebanon’s sovereignty. In order to uphold the […]
During the 2024 campaign, candidate Donald Trump said he could resolve the Ukraine war in twenty-four hours by getting together with Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky to thrash things out. At a January 7 press conference, President-elect Trump conceded it could take up to six months. Call that learning. Trump fundamentally wants the war to […]
Turf-fighting is a way of life at the State Department, as in much of the federal government. The department’s complex and varied responsibilities have, over time, led to an organizational chart that has defied multiple attempts at rationalization. Its internal culture has simultaneously grown more entrenched. The Foreign Service is perhaps the government’s strongest civilian bureaucracy, buttressed […]
Trump likes dealing with authoritarian leaders like Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, which is dangerous for our national security because he doesn't fully understand the stakes nor the concessions he's been making.
What does our relationship look like with India in a second Trump term? I spoke with @WIONews on PM Modi's trip to Washington:
It's easy to achieve "peace" if you're willing to surrender.

The real problem in international trade today is China, which is distorting the trading systems in many different ways. A sensible approach to trade issues would be to focus on the country causing the distortions by joining with our allies instead of threatening a trade war…
Endless concessions to Moscow are a threat to American national security. This week the Trump Admin blew up the NATO position on Ukraine and the Belovezha Accords, which broke up the Soviet Union. This puts every other former republic of the Soviet Union at risk of Russian…
Trump admires authoritarian leaders like Putin and thinks they are friends. Putin is too cold-blooded for that. He's a former KGB agent - he knows exactly what he wants and he's going to get it. @LukaszDynowski

Putin scored a major victory over the U.S., NATO, and Ukraine this week, which is why Putin did not negotiate with Biden or Zelensky. He waited to negotiate with Trump because he believed the Kremlin would get more out of a Trump deal. And he was absolutely right.
It is unconscionable to allow Russia to assault Ukraine’s sovereignty, recruit enemies like North Korea to aid in their fight, and then sell out the Ukrainians by conceding the loss of their territory and NATO security guarantees or membership. By making these and others…
Looks like Trump agrees with John Marshall and not JD Vance. Trump gives the right answer - it’s fine to appeal, but he will always abide by court orders.
JD Vance must have slept through his Constitutional law class at Yale. Just to remind, see Chief Justice John Marshall in Marbury v. Madison (1803): "It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is."
The Chinese have been waging economic warfare against us for 30 years while the U.S. has largely failed to respond. It's time we ban all Chinese imports that rely in whole or in part on stolen American intellectual property.
