My comments this morn on @waytooearly.bsky.social re the Iran talks and signs of diplomacy in face of a massive US military buildup; the importance of IC collection on Iran; and Rubio goes full MAGA in Budapest. Nobody better to talk foreign policy with than @alivitali . Happy Tuesday all. 🙏👊🇺🇸

Thoughtful comments from former CIA Middle East hand @mpolymer1.bsky.social supporting @andy-milburn.bsky.social’s analysis of IDF conduct in Gaza (which predictably is coming under attack on Twitter from those you’d expect to attack it).

I’m back from travels! Lots to talk about in foreign policy world today- on 8 am bloc on this lovely frigid Sat morning in DC with @theweekendmsnow.bsky.social

My latest, in @engelsbergideas.bsky.social

Extraordinary reporting. Validation for the victims. Massive questions for a corrupted analytic intelligence community, whose head was buried in the sand. That’s the story.

I’m up! Heading to the studio soon. No better place to be on a Monday morning, talking foreign policy with the great @alivitali.bsky.social !! ☕️☕️☕️☕️

On @msnownews.bsky.social 540am tomorrow, on Iran and Syria....

Just kick me right in the nuts. Full throttle… I want to vomit. 😡😡😡

First, it would be national security malpractice to sit back and do nothing. Cyber at a minimum. Ultimately, I think it all depends on which faction within the administration wins out – essentially it’s about the Vance vs Rubio wings. The isolationists vs the neocons. And who has Trump’s ear last…

There are a number of potentially enormous foreign policy issues breaking all at once, critical junctures- in Iran, Venezuela, Russia/Ukraine, and Gaza. (Do I add Greenland?) I can’t remember a confluence of near or current crises like this in some time...

“Agent-running is all about people…. it’s about a case officer and an agent in a safehouse, a car meeting, or even conducting a dead drop. The safety of the agent, the sanctity of the operation, is paramount.” Great @mpolymer1.bsky.social essay: engelsbergideas.com/notebook/the...

Is NATO’s worst nightmare becoming reality? Former Defence Secretary Ben Wallace joins Amber, @markurban.bsky.social & @mpolymer1.bsky.social to dissect Trump's threats to Greenland and the possibility of sending UK troops to Ukraine Listen to The Crisis Room on @globalplayer.com 🎧 #Venezuela

Agent-running is all about people. The safety of agents – who often treat their case officers as confessional, priest-like figures – is paramount. The art of agent-running | @mpolymer1.bsky.social engelsbergideas.com/notebook/the...

My latest, on agent-running

Heading in to DC studio monday morning 7am @msnownews.bsky.social ☕️☕️☕️☕️ ..... more on the IC/SOF raid that nabbed Maduro, policymakers (as is often the case) screwing up great tactical successes with lack of planning for the day after, and maybe a comment or two on the Redsox off season? 😉

On @msnownews.bsky.social 2pm bloc to discuss Venezuela... in particular, the CIA-JSOC fusion (built over the last two decades in the GWOT, but now relevant globally). Plus a bit on almost immediate Trump fumbling of post strike outcomes...it's all about oil, throwing Nobel winners under the bus.
