Daniel DePetris: Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu don’t have the same goals Donald Trump wants the war in Gaza solved, but the possibility of a ceasefire deal has moved only a few inches toward the finish line.

The same five foreign policy analysts get 90% of the op-ed space. I’m kind of tired of it.

This is what X is now: a bunch of losers with 2 followers and bot accounts that disappear—and then re-appear. Total shite.

I hate the All-Star Game. Dumb.

Trump, who bitched and moaned about Biden’s approach to the war in Ukraine throughout the 2024 presidential campaign and during the first months of his second term, has in essence adopted Biden’s own policy.

Wow, what a lazy argument.

It’s almost fascinating how bad Karl Anthony-Towns’s defense is.

Manhattan clam “chowder” is infinitely better than New England clam chowder. And yes, I’m a New Yorker.

Hardly unusual. George W. Bush wanted to cut the U.S. military presence in South Korea by a third.

Dick Cheney spent years quietly and painstakingly developing this approach to intel analysis, and Joe Kent just...emailed it out. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/u...

No shit?

Frankly, this sounds like a losing campaign manager trying to cover his own ass.

Is Doug Feith advising the Trump administration now?

At least Smotrich is honest about what Israeli policy is. Can’t say the same about Netanyahu.

This presumes that Waltz actually had influence to begin with.

On Trump’s foreign policy during the first 100 days.
