I am in Taipei currently - people here are so friendly, so helpful, so genuine, so positive. Everyone should visit Taipei as a stop in Asia. It’s easy to navigate, inexpensive, it’s like a super safe friendlier NYC👌 Please no harm to this wonderful country of people 🙏

My latest for the @atlanticcouncil.bsky.social. "To secure Taiwan, the US must first secure Ukraine." These two objectives cannot be separated or treated as mutually exclusive - they are strategically intertwined. #WriteFightWin www.atlanticcouncil.org/in-depth-res...
