š FRIDAY @ 11:30 AM ET: Can America First Transcend Partisanship?
Ahead of the U.S. midterms, a growing number of progressive, independent, and conservative voices are invoking āAmerica Firstā to highlight the gap between Trumpās campaign promises and his foreign policy record.
Could this convergence outlast the election cycle and establish a shared vision for American foreign policy? What can realists on the left contribute to this agenda?
Featuring @markphannah of @InGlobalAffairs, James Carden of Realist Review, and @ChrisDMott of IPD. Moderated by @ishaantharoor of @NewYorker.

The cost of aid to Israel is far more than direct subsidies. The war in Iran is a subsidy to Israel, and it has hiked food and fuel prices everywhere.
Some serious economic misinformation to go with the antisemitism in this ad that blames Israel for the rising price of American eggs, bananas, healthcare
- it falsely links American familiesā grocery bills and healthcare costs to U.S. aid to Israel.
- Aid to Israel is approximately 0.05% of federal spending
- Most American military assistance to Israel goes to buy goods and services from U.S. defense contractors.
- U.S. assistance is overwhelmingly military, not a direct subsidy for Israeli healthcare
- most American bananas come from Guatemala, Ecuador, Costa Rica and Honduras and prices are rising because of El NiƱo.

Relist UNREAL on digital platforms or shut the fuck up, Tim.
There is a real economic cost to Valveās foray into forced political disclosures. Besides taking 30%, theyāre also taking a potentially even larger fraction of developersā revenue and livelihood by undermining their business with these AI hate campaigns.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Steam requires disclosure of generative AI for player-consumed content via its standard Content Survey (alongside ratings), shown on store pages for transparency, not as political statements. Steam's base 30% revenue share matches major console platforms.

@ChrisDMott: If the Democratic party wishes to signal a break in line with the wishes of their voters, they will not just run on a course correction in the Middle East, but push for it in office as well.

One guy on the entire team acknowledges the existence of the vice president of the United States who is standing just feet away. Humiliating.

One of the benefits of a great power concert is that the great powers can jointly shut down practically any war they want.
People who rail against a spheres-of-influence world donāt seem to understand the benefits. The entire opposition to it comes from a knee-jerk moralism.
"The Iran War just might help end the RussiaāUkraine War. And the RussiaāUkraine War just might help end the Iran War. But first, senior Trump advisors need to play their cards right."

š While foreign policy rarely determines U.S. election outcomes, the Iran debacle has brought the costs of military intervention directly into American household budgets.
Disillusionment among voters who believed Trumpās promises to end forever wars and pursue a genuine #AmericaFirst foreign policy could lead them to stay home or reconsider their support at the polls.
Will the midterms become a referendum on Trumpās foreign policy record?

š U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently delivered a speech in Greece calling on Europe to join the United States in its existential struggle to save Western civilization.
At the Kyoto Symposium, IPDās @ArtaMoeini and @ChrisDMott argue that this is tactical rebranding of liberal internationalism.
Their presentation examines how the Trump administration is distorting civilizationalism and explores what a genuinely civilizational foreign policy would entail in a post-unipolar world.

I can be quite skeptical on this concept personally, but we are always up for the challenge of rebutting Rubio and the rebranded crusaders using their own frameworks.

NEW POLL: Ending US wars overseas is a supermajority position (67%) among swing state voters.
Recognizing Israelās actions in Gaza as a genocide and ending all military aid to Israel are majority positions, with even stronger support among Independents.

The Trump adminstration invokes Xerxes and talks of civilizational war with Persia to mask its "red-pilled" globalism and sell its wars of choice as crusades for "the West".
More likely, they'll end up like Valerianā ensnared, desperate, and losing an empire in the East.

The US is the most geopolitically secure nation in human history. The challenge for hawks since WWI has been to overcome this by expanding the definition of America and its obligations in order to justify their foreign policy aims.
Same move, different venner.
