The PRC has a real population problem… and it will dictate a great deal about U.S.-China rivalry, and the larger trajectory of Xi Jinping’s state. My latest "Notebook" on Substack: ilanberman.substack.com/p/national-sec…

Is Trump making a turn on Ukraine? Long overdue good news, if so.
Visegrád 24@visegrad24

BREAKING: Trump praises Zelensky and Ukraine’s Armed Forces: “I like Zelenskyy. I've always sort of gotten along with him, other than the one moment in the White House, which I thought was a little aggressive on his behalf. The Ukrainians fight. Because whether the equipment is great or less than great, they are able to fight. They're better than any of our NATO allies. They've held it back for a long time”

Here’s my new study, for the Oxus Society, on Russia’s (flawed) strategic partnerships with Iran, China and North Korea… and what the U.S. can do about them. Check it out! open.substack.com/pub/ilanberman…

I support that objective. But you know as well as I do that if we HAD spent $25-50 billion on greater connectivity, opposition coordination, etc., people would be up in arms about Washington fomenting regime change in Iran. And it would be the very same people.
Michael McFaul@McFaul

Imagine if we had spent 25-50 billion on supporting democratic regime change in Iran through peaceful means instead of war? A democratic Iran is the only long-term guarantee for stopping Irans nuclear weapons program or funding terrorists or threatening Israel.

Do you think whoever is running Ghalibaf's twitter account knows just how insufferable he is being? It's like a provocation all on its own.
محمدباقر قالیباف | MB Ghalibaf@mb_ghalibaf

If you build two walls, one from NYC to the West Coast and another from LA to the East Coast, the total length will be 7,755 km, which is still about 1,000 km short of Iran’s total borders. Good luck blockading a country with those borders😁 P.S. For Pete Hegseth: 1 km = 0.62 mi

Really enjoying the flood of consistently pro-Iranian, anti-American propaganda on my feed currently. It's absolutely authentic and not at all a regime effort, I'm sure.

Recent weeks have made clear that NATO doesn’t just have a Turkey problem. It has a Spanish one as well, and the latter is likely to emerge as a real headache for U.S.-NATO relations, writes @ilanberman in his op/ed for @Newsweek newsweek.com/nato-has-a-new…

Turkey has long been NATO's most complicated member — and its weakest link. Increasingly, though, it has serious competition for that title. In @newsweek today, I make the case for why Spain has become the Atlantic Alliance's biggest problem child. newsweek.com/nato-has-a-new…
