“It’s not enough to stand for the right things; anybody can do that. Our task is to change governments, to change their behavior, to stop abuses.”

Thanks @j_tepperman and @RichardHurowitz . And thanks for having shared my bhl.substack.com This is the place where, since the first day, I say and repeat that #Zelenskyy’s #Ukraine will not only resist #Putin, but will win.
For 50 years, @BHL has relentlessly highlighted some of the world's worst atrocities. The Will to See, a new film released this week, documents his one-man battle against indifference. We spoke Sunday night about his film and his career:

A huge thanks to @celiabelin and @BlochAgneska for this fascinating conversation and the best explanation of the French election that I've heard. Sunday is a big day.
France picks a new president on Sunday. Puzzled by the election and how it differs from 2017, which featured the same two candidates? Read this smart explainer by @celiabelin of @BrookingsInst and @BrookingsFP and @BlochAgneska.

"There’s huge confusion inside the Russian government. To start with, the military has a longstanding habit of hiding information from Russia’s top leader," says Russian journalist @AndreiSoldatov in conversation with TPN member @j_tepperman.

As @SecBlinken just pointed out “one of the Achilles' heels of autocracies is that people [don’t] speak truth to power.” In his essay for us, Editor @j_tepperman highlights all the ways Putin’s misguided war has underscored the advantages of democracy.

Ukraine has caught Israel in a bind. Its values demand support for the victim. But it also needs to keep Russia, which friendly. So far Israel has managed to thread the needle. But as @ShalomLipner argues, its neutrality is becoming untenable.

"The most important thing we can do to make ourselves more energy secure and to deal with climate change at the same time is to reduce how much oil and gas we use,” says CGEP director @JasonBordoff via @OctavianReport. octavian.substack.com/p/shoc…

“It doesn’t matter how much oil the US does or doesn’t import,” says CGEP director @JasonBordoff via @OctavianReport.
“If there’s a problem halfway around the world...US consumers are going to feel it at the pump.” octavian.substack.com/p/shoc…

As I tell @OctavianReport today, the US ban on Russian imports mattered because, w increasingly horrific images out of Ukraine, it won't stop there. As Novak reminded, Russian gas to Europe is a major retaliatory threat. Risk of escalation remains high. nitter.gq/OctavianReport/status/…

Caesar was not just a salad. And history's more than just one thing after another. Here's my take on the war at #Actium that the #IdesofMarch led to, thanks to @OctavianReport
Welcome to the Ides of March. 2066 years ago today, the killing of Julius Caesar set in motion a chain of events that the historian @barrystrauss argues changed our world forever. Read how.

"Even a single battle can have ripples that go on for centuries or millennia." #ACTIUM My interview on my new book with @OctavianReport bit.ly/3h8w1DW #IdesofMarch
Can one ancient event change world history? @barrystrauss argues that if Battle of Actium—the central clash in the wars that followed Julius Caesar's assassination 2066 years ago today—had gone the other way, the modern world would be profoundly different
