Remember SignalGate? (One of Trump's superpowers is being involved in so many scandals all the time that very few of them end up having staying power beyond a news cycle or two.)

It is absolutely right that we do not need Greenland (or Canada) for natsec reasons because they are already close NATO allies. So the only rationale to turn the US into an aggressor in our own hemisphere is if you don’t plan on NATO being a US alliance in the future.

Astonishing words to hear from a Canadian prime minister. Within months of taking office, the Trump admin has done lasting damage to core American interests, including continental defence. And for what? To satisfy the whims and impulses of a deranged leader, not for any carefully considered aim.

Meloni's gov and "#ReArmEU" (better "defend EU",she said). Ok,an opportunity to spend more..but a "very bombastic announcement compared to reality" #Meloni aims to "implement a defence policy that strengthens the operational capabilities of European states within the framework of the #NATO alliance"

Off the charts level of institutional vandalism this past week. Kennan Institute long gathered superb Russian military expertise at a time when the subfield was not terribly fashionable. DOGE & co actively destroying DoD intellectual capacity in their mindless rampage through the bureaucracy.
