"What analysts miss is that embracing status quo & empowering MBS comes w own risks. By letting MBS carry on w/o being liable Biden has signaled there is nothing new to be done & that Biden is supportive of MBS’s consolidation of power. How demoralizing.." https://t.co/INzKslhiTP

The argument that US interventionism is actually a form of anti-imperialism because all the other powers are less benevolent than America...has been around since the British Empire. From @TomoTheWorld by @stephenwertheim pic.twitter.com/HYZWjwB7VU

As Bill Burns’s confirmation hearing as head of CIA has demonstrated,US bipartisan foreign policy focus is on China,China,China.Russia comes as distant second(by no means off the hook),followed,again at a distance,by Iran&NKorea.All about defending US global primacy/dominance.

98% of the time the NY Times, CNN or Fox uses the word "oligarch", they are referring to Russia or another ex-Eastern Bloc nation.

American oligarchs are called "businessmen" or "philanthropists."

3. Don’t take my word for it. This is what Wendy Sherman - Trump’s Dep Secr. of State - said about it in 2019: I “would be shocked if Iran agreed to a meeting without some sanctions relief.” Sherman was right then and she is right now.>>

US global leadership may be a good thing, but we must also recognize that policies that reinforce our global leadership role are often inconsistent with policies that strengthen our domestic economy. I would argue that the economy should take precedence.https://t.co/0Og99QP9SU

We are seeing images that I never imagined we would see in this country-in some other capital yes, but not here. No one in the world is likely to see, respect, fear, or depend on us in the same way again. If the post-American era has a start date, it is almost certainly today.

The damage wrought by Jan 6 to US foreign policy is great. A post-American world, one no longer defined by U.S. primacy, is coming sooner than generally expected—less because of the inevitable rise of others than because of what the US has done to itself. https://t.co/7jMQ2HkC40

My basic takeaway from this speech (on top of others at State Dept, Pentagon, etc.) is that Biden admin is ***really*** betting on democracies aligning. The speech really pounded the point. It's really striking how central the ideological element is. https://t.co/CxXb0ueBNs

Pleased to see Special Envoy for Iran Rob Malley off to a great start at the @StateDept. Principled diplomacy is the best path to ensuring that Iran does not acquire a nuclear weapon.
