Donald Trump's approach to the Iran war reflected his personality, not strategy—and he is on his way to losing the war for that reason, @davidfrum.bsky.social argues:

My impression is that Trump has found a magical ending to the Iran War because the war powers vote was about to go against him. At this point, he has to pretend he's made Iran capitulate so that he can pretend that congress is still unified behind him.

For the first time since the Brexit referendum, the idea of asking to return to the EU is on Britain’s political horizon. The journey would be long, tortuous—and worth it econ.st/4tUutjY Illustration: Peter Schrank

“Why are we flatfooted again?” A decade after the West Africa Ebola epidemic reshaped global preparedness, a rare strain is revealing how much of that system was built for a different threat.

Le building du ministère du Pétrole du Koweït a été touché par une attaque iranienne il y a quelques minutes, déclenchant des incendies dans le bâtiment. Pour l'instant, il n'y a pas de victimes.

Those mullahs are dicks: email, Zoom, WhatsApp, Teams, Telegram, and they're having an in-person meeting! I've always hated meetings in my professional life, except for video meetings, which allowed me to do something else during, or even take a little nap.

The president used a somber occasion to brag about his ballroom... and his taste in drapes.

My brother mentioned that he’s quite concerned about the war with Iran. I told him that while I’m not particularly worried, I do believe it’s ultimately going to end badly for everyone involved. I believe I'm making progress!

Trump posts crazy stuff like this at times where he feels like he’s not getting enough attention and wants people to start talking about him again. It’s deranged, narcissistic behavior.
