New from me on the impact of the supplemental and what needs to be done now. In short, the money now enables Ukraine and its backers to have a strategy to 'put Ukraine on the path to eventually end the war on its own terms.' csis.org/analysis/after…

Between Crimea and Iran, looks like it has been a pretty bad week for S-400 and S-300. As Ukraine’s many successful strikes with UK/French jet-carried cruise missiles have shown, Russian-made air defense systems offer very limited protection against modern missiles. Below: a…

In this Chatter episode, Virginia Postrel and I cover so much territory that we end up mentioning Prince, The Hunger Games, Jackie Kennedy, what makes Vikings cry, Justin Trudeau, crushed cochineal bugs, togas, and Cary Elwes.

Please join ⁦Yaroslav Trofimov⁩ and me on Weds. Should be a fascinating and timely conversation. jewsunitedfordemocracy.org/event/april-24…

Media: Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸: 'Why on earth would #Putin make any concessions now, when he surely thinks he is winning — and he knows that #DonaldTrump might be back in the The White House in less than a year? Trump’s defeatist 'peace plan' will only convince Putin that victory is within his…

NEW: The current US debate about providing additional military assistance to Ukraine is based in part on the assumption that the war will remain stalemated regardless of US actions. That assumption is false. Russian advances will accelerate absent urgent American action. 🧵(1/8)

Trump’s defeatist “peace plan” will only convince Putin that victory is within his grasp, Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 writes. wapo.st/3Q430Ls

'Disaster was narrowly averted on Saturday night in the long-standing conflict between Israel and Iran,' Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 writes.

CFR experts Elliott Abrams, Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸, Steven A. Cook, Martin Indyk, Linda Robinson, and Ray Takeyh analyze Iran's retaliatory attack on Israel and the possibility of escalation. Watch the conversation: on.cfr.org/440hTEA

Media: Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 to John Berman, who asks whether the #US engagement in deflecting #Iran 's attack on #Israel will give Joe Biden's messages more weight: '@Netanyahu has certainly ignored advice from President #Biden in recent months to wind down the operation in #Gaza and limit…

Trump’s defeatist “peace plan” will only convince Putin that victory is within his grasp. Given Trump’s long record of revering Putin and reviling Ukraine, a Russian victory might be precisely the outcome Trump is seeking to achieve. wapo.st/4aTL66f

Trump's 'peace plan' for Ukraine is more preposterous than anything Nixon ever contemplated during the Vietnam War. It displays a witches’ brew of arrogance, ignorance and defeatism. wapo.st/4aTL66f

Trump’s 'peace plan' would mean Ukraine’s defeat, Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 writes. wapo.st/3U0YWwH

Trump regards himself as the world’s greatest dealmaker despite a track record indicating the opposite. There is no reason to suppose he would have any greater success in ending the war in Ukraine without betraying US allies than he did in Afghanistan. wapo.st/4aTL66f

.Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 aptly describes weaknesses of Trump's 'peace plan' for Ukraine. But I would add one: Trump wants Putin to win because he believes, as does Putin, that Great Powers should carve up the world and lesser countries by belong to one or another's sphere of domination.

Opinion by Max Boot: Disaster was narrowly averted on Saturday night. Israel, aided by the U.S. and other allies, successfully repelled a massive Iranian drone and missile strike. But the reprieve might be short-lived. wapo.st/3xF6xKc
