A very interesting finding from our new study with @profonderco.bsky.social: while Russians are generally more concerned about US nuclear retaliation after the invasion of Ukraine, this effect seems to be mainly driven by those that neither support nor oppose Russian leadership

This whole effort is, in many respects, a sideshow. Well-intentioned, perhaps, but out of whack with the realities of how NATO functions. What matters most is what Trump says about the alliance and what that means for how people perceive the arrangement, above all Article 5.

The new nuclear "Basic Principles" just dropped (h/t @dvsteff.bsky.social). The key change is that it's the aggression that "poses critical threat to the sovereignty and/or territorial integrity" instead of "puts the very existence of the state in jeopardy" publication.pravo.gov.ru/document/000...

Putin has already escalated, unrelated to Biden's long-range strike decision. Last night's massive air strike is the first of a handful that will aim to plunge Ukraine into darkness and cold for the winter. These have been planned for months, missiles accumulated.

Lots of debate about how Israel is conducting its military operations in Gaza. But what does the US public actually think? Polling from the Chicago Council finds that while a minority of Americans think Israel is going too far, there is a clear partisan divide.
