Trump’s National Security Strategy: An Incoherent Disaster Filled With Grievance That Punishes Allies and Cedes Terrain and Initiative to Enemies www.avindman.com/p/trumps-nat...

Good to see the UK, France, and Germany bolster Ukraine, while Trump’s sidles to Russia and undermines Ukraine. Implicitly, the Europeans seem to be reconciling with the reality that pandering to Trump was futile and are likely to start to disengage from the U.S.

I am ratcheting down my social media, but let me just say that all European leaders except on the far Right should note that the U.S. now seeks regime change in their country; basically seeks to depose them. US strategy is to support the political forces that threaten liberal democracy in Europe.

No surprise! Putin’s foreign policy aide Ushakov, following Witkoff/Kushner visit, says sides are no closer to resolving the crisis in Ukraine. The Dim-Witt “Peace” plan is a train wreck. Rubio was too crafty to go to the Kremlin and have this silly meeting.

The focus is on “drug boat” strikes, but there are competing justifications for escalating military action against Venezuela — “cartels”, oil, bravado, liberation But the war on Venezuela isn’t about those things It’s about redefining—diminishing—American power www.greatpower.us/p/the-war-on...

Trump’s Failure and Greed in Ukraine How a Peace Plan Became a Vehicle for Personal Gain, Appeasement, and the Corruption of U.S. Foreign Policy ***Included in this post is a template for any concerned readers looking to write their representatives www.avindman.com/p/trumps-fai...

Major development. Yermak has been with Zelensky since the beginning. He was Ze’s closest aide, often referred to as the grey cardinal, pulling the strings. That assessment is overstated, nevertheless Yermak was a key player and often sited as the nexus for graft. This will shakeup things up.

Good to see the U.S. and Ukraine agree to a joint peace plan. However, this plan is irrelevant. Russia never proposed a legitimate plan. The 28 point “Dim-Witt” plan was an influence operation rather than a plan for a just and lasting peace.

Trump’s collusion with Russia and ultimatum to Ukraine are a dangerous break from America’s values and strategic commitments. His approach abandons our allies, sows chaos around the world, and enriches a small circle of elites at the expense of American security. open.substack.com/pub/alexande...

Trump’s Complicity in the Khashoggi Murder: How Donald Trump’s cover-up of Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination revealed the pattern of corruption that still defines his relationship with Saudi Arabia... and the world www.avindman.com/p/trumps-com...

Rep. Vindman calls Trump's accounting of the Saudis' involvement in Jamal Khashoggi's murder "counterfactual." "It's contrary to the reports of the intel community determined with high confidence that this was an order of a kill or capture of Jamal Khashoggi."

In light of recent questions regarding the economic viability and long-term profitability of AI ventures, I decided to share a reflection on how artificial intelligence will impact national security and the craft of intelligence. open.substack.com/pub/alexande...

It’s striking and inexplicable that Senate Dems crumbled following decisive signals from the American electorate that Trump’s policies are deeply unpopular and Americans expect the Democrats to fight Trump and Republicans over healthcare, affordability, & be a check on his chaos.

I know Mark through his work to establish the International Anti-Corruption Court and reforms Ukraine’s legal system. He is a distinguished, lifelong public servant. Now, another sad casualty of Trump’s corruption. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Congratulations to ⁦‪Speaker Pelosi on her retirement, following a career of distinguished service. I’ve had the privilege of fighting alongside her for important issues like Ukraine aid. Thank you for your leadership and service!!

Trump is charging towards a war with Venezuela without a strategy and clear objectives, destabilizing our own backyard. What question should Americans be asking? Read this to find out. www.avindman.com/p/what-congr...

Dem victories across America signal an awakening of unstoppable people power. The decisive wins are a rebuke to Trump and a warning to beware. Republicans that rubber stamp Trump’s absurd policies will be sweep away. open.substack.com/pub/alexande...

Hey, Trump and Republicans did you hear that?! Now get off your asses and open the government!

Hey, Trump and Republicans did you hear that?! Now get of your asses and open the government!

Apparently, the American people do not like Trump’s chaos, meanness, hate, his trade wars, attacks on our communities, economic mismanagement! Republicans you will continue to be decimated supporting Trump’s failures.

Putin’s Veto open.substack.com/pub/alexande...

USA! 🇺🇸 USA! 🇺🇸 USA! 🇺🇸 My favorite moment from yesterday’s #NoKings protest, veterans around me and a crowd of thousands of protestors chanting USA!

NO KINGS! Join the nationwide protest this Saturday, October 18th - America has no monarchs and no one is above the law. #NoKings nokings.org

From the fragile peace process in Gaza and Trump’s consideration of arming Ukraine with Tomahawks, to a renewed trade war with China, the creation of a Qatari air-training base in the U.S., the ongoing government shutdown, and the “No Kings” protest movement. open.substack.com/pub/alexande...

America's National Guard protects communities. ICE preys on them. They are NOT the same. Please spread the word.

My take on the Republican’s government shutdown. Dems hold the line, protect American’s rights and hard earned benefits. open.substack.com/pub/alexande...

Course Correction or Flip Flop on Russian and Ukraine? open.substack.com/pub/alexande...

The thing about unchecked power is it often makes grave mistakes. One of the reason Putin decided on the folly of war with Ukraine was the lack of those willing to tell him he was making a grave error. I fear @realDonaldTrump will stumble into a war, costing troop’s their lives.
