🧵 In the forthcoming issue of @ForeignAffairs, I argue that the time has come to build a collective defense alliance in Asia—the Pacific Defense Pact—initially comprising Australia, Japan, the Philippines, and the United States.

Trump's war in Iran is degrading U.S. readiness for China—our most consequential military challenge. And the problem runs far deeper than munitions stockpiles. In today's @washingtonpost, @Joe_m_costa and I argue that: "the strategic bill is coming due." wapo.st/4cPFazE

China is charging ahead with its strategy to divide the United States from its Asian allies—and the Trump administration is letting it happen. foreignpolicy.com/2026/01/28/tru…

In @ForeignPolicy, Mira Rapp-Hooper and I document Washington's troubling silence in the face of China's recent pressure on Japan and Taiwan. We explain why this risks undermining our alliances and why it's time for Congress to assert itself. foreignpolicy.com/2026/01/28/tru…

The @washingtonpost op-ed penned by @elyratner & @IIPS_org Chair Randy Schriver underscores that #Taiwan🇹🇼 is making major leaps in defense spending, expanding asymmetric capabilities & building national resilience. A stronger Taiwan makes for a more peaceful #TaiwanStrait.
Ely Ratner@elyratner

In today’s @washingtonpost, Randy Schriver and I argue that Taiwan is acting with greater seriousness and focus than ever before. And that America should stand with it. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…
