    ANNOUNCEMENT! I have officially joined the land of Substack. It was probably inevitable. But I'm very excited about the opportunities the platform affords. And most of all, looking forward to making insufferable people's heads explode

    Remember when countless journalists, pundits, and politicians screeched with such righteous certitude about the Governor Whitmer kidnapping plot, as though it were established fact, when the only thing that’s now been established is that it was a botched FBI entrapment plot

    Some newfound "anti-war" voices in the scenario fantasized by Owen Jones: the US Government, the UK Government, NATO, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon 👍

    It means there’s cross-ideological frenzy in favor of an ongoing US military intervention, with Republicans leading the charge, as they demand to escalate even further. Hope that clarifies for you 👍

    Replying to @mtracey
    What’s ‘war frenzy’ mean? Is that the new, ‘I Stand with Putin’ slogan?

    I know calling things "Orwellian" is overdone, but it really does perfectly capture these demands by "anti-war" activists for continuously escalating warfare

    There you have it! The proper "anti-war" position is now to openly support a US proxy war, with the express aim of facilitating "armed struggle," in order to achieve a desired military objective. Isn't the malleability of language a beautiful thing?

    "Anti-war" doesn't mean being "pacifist". In the case of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, it means opposing Russia's war of aggression - which means supporting Ukraine's armed struggle of liberation against it, and supporting a Russian military defeat.

    Everything that McCain + Graham declare in this recently-resurfaced video from 2016, about the need to go on the "offense" against Russia in Ukraine, has now congealed into mainstream orthodoxy. The influence of their worldview has increased, not decreased

    I wrote an essay for the Atlantic about why I continue to believe we made the right decision expanding NATO.

    Trump Administration policy toward Russia was really not that much different from what McCain Administration policy likely would've been, notwithstanding the continued delusions and fantasies about Trump somehow conspiratorially enabling Putin!

    It's not just some phantom group of "neocons." The consensus, mainstream position of the GOP is that Biden has been "weak" on Russia, and should more aggressively escalate US intervention in Ukraine. If that's a "neocon" position, then approximately 95% of the GOP is "neocon"

    Lindsey Graham, the most reliable steward of McCain’s foreign policy outlook, is currently the top advocate for another Trump presidential run in 2024. Because it turns out “MAGA” and “neocon” are not actually as incompatible as lots of people want to believe

    Some conservative opinion elites really want to believe that the Republican Party has undergone a genuine transformation, and the foreign policy worldview embodied by McCain has been discarded. But as the GOP position on Ukraine conclusively shows, McCain still reigns supreme

    Earlier this week, Zelensky berated the UN to punish Russia or "dissolve" itself. Today, the UN ejects Russia from the Human Rights Council, preempting any independent investigation -- which had been requested by both India and China. Another PR coup for the PR maestro Zelensky
