Like @USWPColby, I too am pessimistic on a grand middle power coalition any time soon. But for somewhat different reasons. In short: tyranny of geography, deep North-South divides, and leadership challenges in the modern era. 1/
Under Secretary of War Elbridge Colby@USWPColby

There is a great deal of hubbub about a collective “middle powers”strategy these days. At DoW, we are not concerned that this is a serious possibility. Rather, we are more concerned that a few allies and partners will *think it is* and waste valuable time, money, and political capital on a distraction. 1/

Senator Chris Van Hollen@ChrisVanHollen·
Tomorrow, the Senate will take a key vote on the $1.1 TRILLION defense bill. It not only fails to rein in Trump’s Iran war, it also has a provision touted by PM Netanyahu to MANDATE more U.S. defense cooperation with Israel. None of this is in our national security interests. I will vote NO.

Senators should vote NO on proceeding with the Pentagon funding bill. It supports a huge increase in spending, gives a blank check to Trump's Iran war, & includes Netanyahu’s proposal REQUIRING more cooperation with the Israeli military. Tune in: x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

"Trump however, seems to want constant positive feedback to stick to that route, and if he doesn’t get it after awhile, he just makes a 180," Parsi said. "And then when the war doesn’t go well, which it likely won’t, then he’ll make another 180." usatoday.com/story/news/wor…

If this happened in some other country, we would laugh at their backwardness. Some in Washington would argue they must be bombed...

Seems like Trump just made a pitch for the Iranian toll system. :) Because the Iranians were going to charge $1mn per ship, which would amount to 1-2% of the value of the cargo of an oil tanker. But Trump is going to charge 20%! :)

Tim Dillon: “We can’t handle people chanting death to America? I take more shit than that in comments. This is crazy. Can you imagine your kid dies in Iran and you’re telling someone about it: yeah, it was a tough loss, but they were chanting death to America. We had to show them you can’t do that. I know my kid’s dead, but you know, no more chanting”

Wow! The New Israel-Backed Nonprofit Feeding Lawmakers Model Legislation The State Legislator Israel Caucus says it’s an independent nonprofit. The Israeli government discreetly paid for its first D.C. junket. dropsitenews.com/p/israel-backe…

Trump declares war on the International Criminal Court. He claims it is to preserve sovereignty, but the ICC operates only on territory where the national government has given it permission. Trump wants to override those governments' sovereignty by claiming the right to commit war crimes on their territory with impunity. state.gov/releases/offic…

News w/ @AndrewDesiderio: Trump formally notified Congress of the resumption of military activities against Iran on July 10 under the war powers resolution. Dems say the war is illegal and the president cannot restart the 60-day clock for military action.

Breaking: Major BDS victory as Brazil’s direct oil exports to Israel drop to zero. Groups such as Rio de Janeiro Oil Workers Union, the Palestinian Institute for Climate Strategy and Disrupt Power have raised questions over whether oil still made its way to Israel, fuelling genocide, apartheid and illegal occupation, potentially through Vitol’s refinery in Sardinia, Italy. The direct route is closed. The back door isn't. One step at a time — our pressure continues.

Washington's emerging policy on Lebanon sounds reasonable. It isn't. It is a civil war plan dressed up as a “peace plan”. A thread. 🧵1/8
