    I like legal constraints on state power to commit mass murder, even if it doesn't really work: If US leaders felt some obligation to adhere to the principles they constantly espouse & weaponize, America would be better off.

    Here is of arguing: “Saving the liberal order means adhering to the UN Charter’s prohibition on the use of force except in self-defense or unless authorized by the Security Council.”

    Here is that discussion:

    Special attaboys to and for one of the best discussions of US national security strategy that I've heard in a long time. (That's right: I plugged another podcast on our pod.)

    If he's not asked about it, the civ-mil problems are deeper than we think.

    Just remembered Milley is up to Congress to testify, under oath, at the end of the month. Going to be a real interesting test of his pull on the Hill if he gets asked about this or not.

    The dominant thinking in DC is that the so-called Long Peace is a direct result of an activist US foreign policy supposedly tamping down the war-prone nature of the int'l system. There is a wealth of scholarship that this consensus necessarily ignores.

    A kind endorsement from for the Oxford Handbook of Peaceful Change in IR, to which I had the opportunity to contribute a chapter on nuclear weapons & peaceful change.

    Gitmo is still a shit show. Defense complains new judge - the 4th to preside over the case - is too inexperienced & "has not read the filings." Judge says he'll take an online college course to prepare & we'll get started a cool 21 years after the fact.

    The Brown project has done a great disservice by underestimating mortality in . We have several household surveys—the superior method—that place the numbers 2-4x higher. This is a gift to war criminals.

    Ex-President Bush used the so-called war on terror after to justify the invasion of Iraq. ▪️ Approx. 200,000 Iraqi civilians killed ▪️ 1 in 25 displaced by U.S. invasion ▪️ U.S. forces linked to mass killings, torture ▪️ 9M Iraqis still displaced ()

    ‘My baseless counter-factual fantasy makes the wisdom of lying our way into a disastrous elective war unquestionable.’ Got it.

    To overcome that sad fact of where we are, maybe stop strangling the Iranian economy.

    If credibility has any real oomph in IR it’s showing up here for sure. Note though that it isn’t as it’s usually framed: Trump’s *belligerence* has damaged US credibility with Iran. They don’t trust that we can keep to it & they’re probably right.

    Biden’s diplomacy on Iran has been abysmal, largely stemming from their stubborn misapprehension that things could move forward without up-front concessions. Except going back to the status quo ante after Trump’s betrayal/aggression shouldn’t be considered a concession.

    If anything, the US should be *more* interested in restoring the JCPOA to its full status, not less. Playing hard to get hasn’t served either Washington or Tehran well. (End)

    Fairytales, my dear. Fairytales.

    Peter Feaver's odd reading of history: The Afghan "retreat [may be] as dangerous as the defeat in Vietnam, which emboldened Soviet advances & put the US on its hind legs for almost a decade—until Reagan oversaw a renewal in US geopolitical standing."
