Donald Trump’s election as President guarantees that America’s Middle East policy will change. The real question, though, and a major early test for Trump, is whether it will change enough. Does he understand that the region’s geopolitics differ dramatically from when he left office, and could change even more before Inauguration Day? The early signs […]
Read MoreThe former National Security Advisor in the Trump Administration and ambassador to the UN under George W. Bush inaugurated the FAES 2024 Campus yesterday. Just a few metres from Madrid’s Retiro Park, the veteran foreign policy expert spoke to EL MUNDO about international news, full of “threats”. This article was first published in Spanish in […]
Israel’s stunning attacks on Hezbollah via exploding pagers and walkie-talkies demonstrate both the creativity and cunning of its intelligence and defense forces, and their capacity to strike deep into the heart of its adversaries’ domains. The casualties among Hezbollah’s top leadership (and allies, like Iran’s Ambassador to Lebanon) plus the significant near-term degradation of Hezbollah’s […]
For more than a century, U.S. diplomats in Russia have had to fend off propaganda, outright lies, harassment and seduction, often simultaneously. Our envoys have been gulled into damaging concessions, and their Washington bosses have proved just as susceptible. Recall Franklin Roosevelt’s appalling observation about Joseph Stalin: “I think if I give him everything that I […]
If the Trump Admin wants to rid the military of woke policies, it‘s perfectly entitled to do that. The best way to do that is to tell military and civilian officials in the Defense Department that there‘s a new sheriff in town, the policy‘s changed and they better get with the…
.@PeteHegseth performed honorably in his military service and if he lives up to that ideal, he won't be afraid to tell the president what he thinks.
I worry that a Trump cabinet full of yes-men and yes-women won't be advisers trying to think through what the right answers to complex problems are. The country deserves better.

If this were a Republican try to "steal" an election like @SenBobCasey is doing, it would be getting wall-to-wall national media coverage. But 🦗 b/c it's a Democrat? 🤔 Literally, WTF? BRAVO👏🏻to @CNN's @KFILE for calling it out for what it is. Disgraceful 🐂💩
While I think Rubio, Waltz, and Hegseth have the correct approach to China, Trump does not have a national security philosophy. He doesn’t deal with policy as we conventionally understand that term.
I'm very worried that Trump will favor Russia in his negotiations between Zelenskyy and Putin.
I hope Trump's Secretary of Defense pick, Pete Hegseth, massively increases the Defense Department's budget, which we need in a challenging world. History will judge a Hegseth secretaryship on whether or not he gets the defense budget up.
The nomination of Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence is hilarious. She's totally not competent for the job. I've believed for a long time that the ODNI should be abolished, and now we have another reason.

It's a serious threat that Trump might withdraw from NATO. Moreover, trade disputes with our closest allies could be intense. On top of all that, we cannot lose sight of the China-Russia axis and the threat it poses to America and the rest of the world.
The Senate's new leadership should tell the President-elect that he is endangering Republican Senators by forcing a vote in favor of Gaetz’s nomination. The leadership should insist that this nomination be withdrawn.
