Can the Taliban Stop Themselves from Going to War with Pakistan? The Taliban are tempting fate, again.

As a (much needed) break from U.S. foreign policy, my Substack post this month is on the conflict between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and why the Taliban has placed itself at risk of war with its neighbor. I hope you enjoy, and subscribe for more!

How does Tren de Aragua Respond to America’s Military Strikes? Eight years ago, I wrote an op-ed on how the (first) Trump Administration was considering whether or not to designate Mara Salvatrucha (commonly known as MS-13) a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO).

My analysis of the ways in which Tren de Aragua might respond to America's recent military strikes is available. Is this the start of a major shift in U.S. counter-terrorism operations? What are the potential impacts on U.S. security in Latin America?

What do Charles II and Donald Trump have in common? Among other things, entering into secret international treaties, the subject of my August Substack. I hope you enjoy, and subscribe for more monthly foreign policy analyses!
