Although #Biden fielded questions on a range of #ForeignPolicy issues, including #China’s #economic troubles & #ClimateChange, he spoke softly & appeared tired.…
It was far from the first time the president’s rivals have used his words & actions to undercut him, especially on social media platforms that do not emphasize the context or background for an event.

That's something new: #Iran now even arrests #EU diplomats on the usual weird espionage charges.
I can kind of understand that some people are trying to keep this under the public radar, but what this boils down to is #HostageDiplomacy and the European public has every right to know about it. A despicable, hypocritical regime that resorts to criminal methods.

“Brexit has made Britain less relevant to the EU, and to all the other significant players of the world. There’s no escaping that bitter truth, however many air miles Mr Sunak clocks up.”
This: and to all the other significant players of the world.

"No Enemies No Friends" Allan Behm. 3 stars. Good sense on foreign & defense policy. Most interesting on historical background of region. Clear on how things could be done better, but no theory of change as to how to bring that about.

#ForeignPolicy I've always found Larry's writing and knowledge to be second to none. Sure as heck beats listening to the talking head “generals” on TV these days.

The second lesson is that it is a very ineffective geopolitical strategy to try to solve problems by pumping billions in the military of countries in crisis.
The military might soon feel superior to the civil governments and seize power.
This is sad, as these countries have great civil societies and grassroot movements that could play a much bigger role, if it weren't for the inefficient and and corrupt institutions.
