the wolf wants to see the three little pigs succeed

“Mr. Trump’s announcement of a “blockade” caught senior officials at the Pentagon and at Southern Command in Florida by surprise. On Wednesday, they scrambled to figure out the U.S. military’s role in the action, U.S. officials said.”

For my latest piece in @justsecurity.org, Scott Moore and I unpack what the startup phase of #geoengineering means for government regulations and national security: www.justsecurity.org/125056/solar...

Solar radiation modification (SRM) is now a commercial industry, with startups raising millions to artificially cool the planet. But with development outpacing regulation, countries must act now to create governance frameworks to address SRM’s risks, write Scott Moore and Imran Bayoumi:

"Mamdani will be forced to pay attention to issues abroad no matter how tightly he tries to keep his focus domestic." Really interesting insights from @ibayoumi.bsky.social in @foreignpolicy.com, looking at Zohran Mamdani's global role and his possible priorities.

For @foreignpolicy.com, I unpack how @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will approach New York's role on the international stage: foreignpolicy.com/2025/11/05/z... Thanks to @beijingpalmer.bsky.social as always!

Following Maduro's request to #Russia for aid, @shelbyjmag.bsky.social and I unpack what assistance #Venezuela might actually receive (spoiler: not much!) for the @atlanticcouncil.bsky.social: www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-at...

For The Irregular Warfare Initiative I write about how the PRC uses police-police cooperation to boost its presence in the South Pacific and how the US can better engage: irregularwarfare.org/uncategorize...

so I gather this is a lot of people's first middle east cease fire.

Trump may think that the United States doesn’t “need anything” from Canada, but the U.S. in fact relies on Canada for a variety of products, writes Greg Pollock and @ibayoumi.bsky.social write. wapo.st/4jA9ttu

Pleased to have been asked by @msnbc.com to share some thoughts on the Trump - Carney meeting and the future of bilateral relations between the two countries: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb... #cdnpoli

Maite G. Latorre and I discuss how foreign policy featured prominently in the campaigns of both Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre and how #Carney can now match words to actions as Prime Minister: www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-at... @atlanticcouncil.bsky.social #Canada

My thoughts on what the future of Canada's defense and security partnerships will look like under #Carney: www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-at... @atlanticcouncil.bsky.social

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party secured the most seats in Canada’s parliament in elections on April 28. What are the implications for trade, security, and diplomacy in North America and beyond? Atlantic Council experts break it all down:

Climate change is a core strategic challenge for the United States. Pretending otherwise would be national security malpractice. My new piece with Greg Pollock on how the climate security community needs to evolve to stay relevant. foreignpolicy.com/2025/04/23/c...

Smart, sober response from Canada’s Prime Minister to the destruction my government is wreaking. The US won the geo-political lottery having Canada and Mexico as neighbors, and the Trump Administration is destroying our advantages.

​​Russia has laid the groundwork across economic and military domains to best take advantage of a warming Arctic region, Imran Bayoumi writes.

My newest in @foreignpolicy.com on how the Trump Administration's failure to take climate change seriously benefits only our adversaries: foreignpolicy.com/2025/03/24/t... With thanks to @beijingpalmer.bsky.social as always!

Interesting & important deliverable on Carney’s first trip. France & Canada certainly share intel & had important exchanges. This sounds like something a bit more formal. Enhanced cooperation with France’s cyber agency, ANSSI, especially after US… issues, will be beneficial. #DeuxYeux 🇫🇷 🇨🇦

France and Canada will launch a new intelligence and security partnership after the meeting between Macron and Carney today, Reuters reports.

The destruction of DOD’s Office Net Assessment will be celebrated in Beijing & Moscow. This little-known but enormously consequential 50 year-old institution actually thought long-term. It helped us win the Cold War, grasped the China challenge early, and figured out revolutions in warfare.
