Gallagher to Hegseth: You "must put the Pentagon on a war footing, firing any bureaucrat unable or unwilling to work at a wartime pace." Gallagher wants to launch a great purge, a struggle against the bureaucracy to turn it into the perfect war machine. He is very dangerous

The next Secretary of Defense has 2 years to prevent World War III. To do so, he must go to war against the Pentagon's own bureaucracy to rebuild the Navy, improve lethality, and initiate reforms to get more bang for every defense buck. wsj.com/opinion/two-ye…



It is not just that "great power competition" is a euphemism for "restoring" US empire: it is that Gallagher is so shameless in admitting it. There isn't a single person in his life who can tell him "hey, actually talking about the Monroe Doctrine is weird and not normal"

Beyond having a clear-eyed view on China and a strong stance in support of Israel, @marcorubio can help restore a present-day version of the Monroe Doctrine to tackle Chinese and Russian influence in our own hemisphere. He is a fantastic selection to serve as Secretary of State.



Sullivan, Campbell, Ratner, Doshi, Raimondo orchestrated a truly generational shift on China policy. Turns out no one actually cares. Nationalism and "great power competition" will always be a loser for Democrats, and its time to ditch the nerds who want to believe otherwise

Celinda Lake, a Democratic pollster, on talking to voter focus groups: “Everybody knows what Trump economics is -- China; tariffs; tax cuts. Then you go to them and ask, ‘What are Democratic economics?,’ and someone will make a joke about welfare and half the people can't name…



Many US allies/partners are currently asking themselves whether a country that chose Trump twice should be the permanent anchor of global security. We have affirmed that Trump is who we are, and that should be a frightening wakeup call Wrote this in 2021: lowyinstitute.org/the-interprete…

The Biden team completed the transformation of the gov/state into a vehicle for competition and war with China. Now the keys will be put in the hands of Pottinger, Colby, Gallagher, and an insane foreign policy movement that is excited to see how fast this machine can go


fuck these fascists

It’s deeply gratifying that the American people have given @realDonaldTrump a decisive mandate for change: for peace, reindustrialization, growth, strength, and freedom. I’m truly excited to see the desperately needed change he and @JDVance will lead. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸



Mearsheimer is such an obvious charlatan and grifter. Genocide is a "red line" for him, but he also believes that the West should've kept China in permanent economic subjugation from the 90s on, and says the failure to do so was a blunder worse than invading Iraq. FOH

John Mearsheimer is asked who he will vote for in the election tomorrow. He replies: "I won't vote for the Democrats because of the genocide in Gaza. I think the Biden administration is complicit in the genocide and genocide is a red line for me."

Black Jacobins might be my favorite read of 2024. Didn't know how ignorant I was to the true history of the San Domingo revolution. Highly recommend, so many parallels to today and takeaways for people in the West determined to stand in solidarity with the Global South.

Inciting racism, undermining civil liberties, expanding the surveillance state, creating a sense of paranoia about anything "Chinese"... These critiques of Trump's China policy are completely absent from this essay, bc they are in fact key parts of the "bipartisan consensus"

In today's @nytopinion, I argue that there is a bipartisan consensus on China but that Trump is outside it. If he returns, he will again undermine it by putting self-interest first. That could cost the US the decisive decade in the competition. Thread and link below:

Remarkable how this segment opens with Ta-Nehisi Coates describing how narrative helps shape “who we believe is human, who we don’t believe is human,” and then the entire rest of the segment just proves his point in real-time

Ta-Nehisi Coates’ new book, “The Message,” is a trio of interconnected essays that examine how the stories people tell — or avoid telling — can shape and even distort reality: “I am most concerned always with those that don’t have a voice.” cbsn.ws/4gJxe2g

Dems have embraced Tim Walz’s farm-friendly image. But if you look under the surface of his viral piglet photo and “turkey isn’t meat” joke, you’ll find he has a cozy relationship with Big Meat, which has trashed MN’s water and abused its animals. vox.com/future-perfect…

On 30 September 1965, the Indonesian military, working closely with the US government, initiated a coup that would depose President Sukarno and install the brutal, 30-year dictatorship of General Suharto.
