Today marks a grim milestone. For three years, Russia has brutally attacked Ukraine, trying to steal land that isn’t theirs. Right now, more than ever, we have to support Ukraine. Extract from my doorstep ahead of today’s Foreign Affairs Council ↓

This was the first time in their lives, I realized, that these boys and girls had been in an actual classroom. The Russian invasion began as covid was ending. Two years of covid seclusion had been followed directly by three years of war. The kids were buoyant. snyder.substack.com/p/my-favorit...

“We should put Ukraine in a position [of strength] where they are able to say no to a bad deal.” Indeed, like the Ukrainians rightly did when presented with an extortionate US ‘plan’ on access to critical minerals. Only the strong can be free. www.euractiv.com/section/poli...

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

A key lesson that America’s frontline partners quietly learned from how the US treated Ukraine after Russia’s illegal full-scale invasion is that relying on US weapons or tech that can cut-off, limited, or geofenced leaves you captive to “de-escalation” /1 www.reuters.com/business/us-...

One of the big questions with coups is who the military sides with. It's a big question now. Does the firing of a whole lot of leadership make the military now more malleable, or does it anger and alienate a lot of people down the chain of command? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Our president is such a sullen bully. Massive credit to Governor Janet Mills for publicly standing up for her state, the law, and America. “I’ll see you in court” indeed!

For eight decades, alliances have formed the bedrock of American foreign, trade and cultural policy. But not any more. Europeans, but also America's Asian allies, need to accept this new world, and learn how to live in it. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

We know who the villains are in this coup. But so many heroes are showing up to oppose them, and many of them are federal employees, including judges. I give you supreme boss-hero champion Judge Ana Reyes, telling Team Trump they don't know shit and schooling them in the facts about gender and sex.
