My pleasure, Wess! I hope the book receives the large (& well-placed!) audience it deserves.

Wess Mitchell@AWessMitchell

@PatPorter76 @firstthingsmag Thanks @PatPorter76 for your generous appraisal & for reviewing GPD! Diplomacy doesn't get the attention it deserves (esp in modern times) as a component of grand strategy. Hopefully the book gives a start in remedying that.

I've reviewed A. Wess Mitchell's formidable book for @firstthingsmag, out in April. He calls for a rediscovery of diplomacy's core, not superficially as "comms" or as handmaiden to military force, but as art of arranging power in space & time, to concentrate it & limit threats.

In his piece in @TheCriticMag, @CatoFP's @PatPorter76 writes: "A state collapse, therefore, will more likely unleash chaos in a fractured nation of ninety million people, awash with sectarian forces and astride bloody and volatile borders, a brutal aftermath that will demand more, not less, effort and attention."

American / other Western war-backers expecting their all-volunteer militaries to do battle on their behalf while they themselves suffer negligible costs? Not a new problem, but it’s a shame it came back so soon… @PatPorter76 in Parameters a >decade ago:

Brandan P. Buck@brandan_buck

“Iran is such a massive threat that we have to go to war—but don’t worry, it won’t cost us anything.” That might be peak American modernity: we want it all, but we don’t want to pay anything for it.

Essential viewing for those interested in how HMG can (and should) rebuild the relationship with the US. @PatPorter76 presents the history of the ‘special relationship’, including its relative asymmetry, trade-offs and realpolitik; and @sophgaston offers reasons for optimism and pragmatism in UK policy.

All of the foreign policy elites who perpetuated the narrative that Trump was going to turn America inward, bring the drawbridges up and adopt a foreign policy of 1920s and 1930s-style isolationism should be forever embarrassed at how wrong they were. Just total nonsense.

Looking forward to this tonight. What a week to be reflecting on the 'special relationship'.

Donald Trump barks that Keir Starmer is "no Winston Churchill." Likewise, Trump is no Harry Truman. But they both - and we- can learn from Churchill's Fulton address, eighty years ago tomorrow. Come to Mile End to join yours truly and @sophgaston as we look back to Fulton:

Eighty years ago, Winston Churchill at Fulton urged the US to take up the baton of primacy in Europe. He feared American abandonment, avoided the word "alliance", & warned of a baffling, anxious time. The moment was dangerously open. Me in @NewStatesman: newstatesman.com/ideas/2026/03/…
