Nothing to see here, just the President of the United States threatening to commit genocide first thing on a Tuesday morning.

JD Vance pimping for Orban while decrying foreign interference in Hungary’s elections is rich.

#Ukraine and #Iran: Is this a global conflict? Listen to another episode of my 🎙 #podcast, #TneGlobalAgora. I talked to @bobham.bsky.social. ▶️ podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/and... #Putinswar #Trumpswar #Russia

Wondering if the folks who named the operation against Iran Operation Epic Fury thought about how it would be abbreviated and the sorta awkward comparisons to a different and pretty unsuccessful operation.

Excited to announce that my book on China-Russia relations is now available in German. Bitte bestellen und durchlesen! link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Join us tomorrow at 10am EST for a conversation on our latest research on Russia and China in Africa!

Had an interesting panel discussion on the war in #Ukraine on TRT World. youtu.be/VSekQ-QljwU?...

Great as always to work with my friend @dan-perry.bsky.social, see our latest for @thehill.com on expectations for this weekend’s Munich Security Conference. thehill.com/opinion/nati...

This Davos speech is far more bonkers than a normal Trump speech, Jesus.

My latest with @dan-perry.bsky.social in @thehill.com Check on your American friends, we are not ok. thehill.com/opinion/inte...

Who are the 25% who think this is a good idea??!! “75% of Americans oppose US attempting to take control of Greenland, CNN poll finds” www.cnn.com/2026/01/15/p...

The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine reported that conflict-related violence in Ukraine killed 2,512 civilians and injured 12,142 in 2025, 31 percent higher than in 2024 and 70 percent higher than in 2023. understandingwar.org/research/rus...

President Trump made an obscene gesture with his middle finger and mouthed “f--- you” twice to a person who can be heard yelling “pedophile protector” at him during a tour of a Ford factory in Michigan — a reaction the White House said was “appropriate.”

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen: "If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU." "Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

My latest for @delphiglobal.bsky.social Spoiler alert: he hasn’t read the ending.

In my latest for @delphiglobal.bsky.social, I argue that the Trump Administration’s reckless use of force is likely to lead the US into a strategic defeat. www.delphigrc.org/research/swa...

Let’s be clear: Trump’s threat to take Greenland “the hard way” if the “easy way” fails means naked, unprovoked military aggression against a NATO ally. Any political or military leader who takes part in that aggression should be prosecuted.

OC Media investigates Russian business ties linked to Georgia’s ambassador in Washington. Delphi’s Bob Hamilton offers context on what this signals for Georgia’s foreign-policy direction. 🔗 oc-media.org/husband-of-g... @bobham.bsky.social

Hamilton on The Newsmakers: ❌ Russia can’t export advanced weapons like before. 📌 India bought cheap Russian oil for economic reasons - not geopolitics. Watch the full interview here ➡️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0q8... @bobham.bsky.social

I’ll be on @pbsnews.org News Hour tonight at 6 EST talking Ukraine, tune in for the latest on the war from me and the great PBS team.

“The Trump administration continues undeterred in its campaign to kill alleged drug traffickers in international waters near Central and South America despite an emerging consensus among legal experts who say that the effort is illegal.” www.politico.com/news/magazin...

@delphiglobal.bsky.social fellow Batu Kutelia and Kathleen Collins make a compelling argument for seeing Russia with clear eyes. This means ending the impulse to reset relations with the Kremlin, and returning to the Reagan era doctrine of peace through strength. www.twincities.com/2025/10/26/c...

If you thought the first Trump-Zelensky Oval Office meeting was bonkers wait until you see this one. Actually just watch the last ten seconds. Spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with Ukraine or Zelensky.

Had a lively discussion about #Ukraine yesterday on TRT World’s program The Newsmakers. All eyes on DC tomorrow as Zelensky returns to the White House. youtu.be/1kGsJAB0svA

Friendly reminder that China is not the “they” paying these new tariffs, we (US importers and consumers) are the “they” paying these new tariffs. www.cnn.com/2025/10/10/e...

Bit of good news to start the week. www.bbc.com/news/article...

In @warontherocks.bsky.social , I argue that if NATO continues to defend its airspace from behind its borders, Russia will likely kill people in a NATO member, putting the alliance on the horns of a dilemma. Instead, NATO should assist 🇺🇦 in defending its airspace. warontherocks.com/2025/09/nato...

Excellent analysis on Moldova’s upcoming elections from our @delphiglobal.bsky.social partner think tank, the New Strategy Center in Bucharest, Romania. newstrategycenter.ro/en/parliamen...

Just saw somebody refer to the multiple fires at Russian oil facilities as “Budanov sanctions” and I’m still laughing. If the West can’t get its act together to damage Russia’s war economy, it’s good to see Ukraine doing so.

There is an epidemic of cowardice in America today. Universities, think tanks, newspapers, TV networks, corporations and others choosing to silence themselves are sacrificing our democracy for their own safety. In the end they still won’t be safe. Truth to power has never been more important.

(1/3) NATO’s response to Russia’s violation of Polish airspace with multiple drones should be more than stern words. NATO should declare a no-fly zone over western Ukraine, with NATO assets deployed on the ground in Ukraine to enforce it.

I was honored to appear on @cnn.com today to discuss Russia sending drones into Poland and Israel attacking Hamas leaders in Qatar. video.snapstream.net/Play/6pbCSYG...

Since the Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska, Russia has bombed an American-owned factory in western Ukraine, and last night it bombed the EU Mission and British Council buildings in Kyiv. This is how much respect Putin has for the US and Europe. www.politico.eu/article/russ...

Georgia’s democracy is in great peril. Authoritarian consolidation continues at a rapid pace. And the civil society remains on its own, without much Western support. Crucial to follow @ocmedia.bsky.social and other Geo ind media like it to keep an eye on the developments there. #Georgia #Tbilisi

In my latest for @delphiglobal.bsky.social, I explain why “resets” with Russia have failed and will continue to fail, and what US policymakers routinely misunderstand about America’s most dangerous adversary. www.delphigrc.org/analysis/wha...

If #NATO wants to achieve full military mobility, it must address some major infrastructure development gaps on its Eastern Flank. Here is what you need to know- www.delphigrc.org/analysis/nat...

I was honored to appear on @cnn.com yesterday to give a battlefield updates on Ukraine and provide a preview of tomorrow’s #Trump-Putin summit. video.snapstream.net/Play/4cnKrRZ...

My latest for @delphiglobal.bsky.social examines how external pressure and internal elite splits have destabilized 🇬🇪and derailed its efforts at a European future. The showdown between 🇬🇪’s authoritarian government and its robust civil society continues the trend. www.delphigrc.org/analysis/geo...

Check out our latest report from @delphiglobal.bsky.social, on infrastructure development priorities for NATO’s eastern flank. Thanks to our Fellow Antonia Colibasanu for this brilliant analysis www.delphigrc.org/analysis/nat...

Which areas of Europe face the greatest threat of Russian aggression post-Ukraine? Our @delphiglobal.bsky.social Fellow Serghei Ostaf makes a strong case that the Danube corridor is the Kremlin’s most temping target. www.delphigrc.org/analysis/rus...

Happy to share my first article for @delphiglobal.bsky.social, comparing US policy toward the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, and analyzing its possible implications. www.delphigrc.org/analysis/two...

Thank you Romania! 🇷🇴

Dr. Michael Neiberg of the US Army War College and Bob Hamilton discuss Europe's reaction to the US shift towards the Indo-Pacific on #ChainReaction. buff.ly/O7yg9e5

A 98 year old World War 2 veteran, returned to his tank to destroy one last Nazi car. He has a message for Elon Musk, Tesla, Putin, Trump and the international regressive movement. We crushed fascism before, and we'll crush it again, so let's go shall we? #3E #teslatakedown

That fact that both the White House and the Kremlin are celebrating the victory of the far right candidate in the first round of the Romanian election, and the fact that both interfered to push it toward that result, is all you need to know to know how bad it is for Europe and ultimately the US.

The innovation and adaptation Ukraine is showing in this war is remarkable. They have now followed up the first in history shoot down of a helicopter (Mi-17) by a USV (sea drone) with the first in history shoot down of a jet (Su-30) by a USV. www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2...

A Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll shows 35 percent of Americans approve of the way Elon Musk is handling his job in the Trump administration, while 57 percent disapprove.

Gotta admit I didn’t have Germany admonishing the US for being weak on Russia on my 2025 geopolitical bingo card: www.cnn.com/2025/04/28/e...

On Orthodox Palm Sunday, a day after Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff met Putin in St. Petersburg, Russia stuck downtown Sumy with ballistic missiles, killing more than 30 people. When will Trump and his team understand that Russia cannot be appeased into stopping this war? www.bbc.com/news/live/cd...
