My latest for @WSJ
I argue that Putin strives for strategic coherence.
Unlike Washington, each of Moscow’s foreign operations, in Europe, Africa, or in the Middle East, no matter how ramshackle, reinforce every other.

My latest translation, Raymond Aron's lecture on Asia in 1955:
"As seen in Asia, the conflict between the free world and the communist world does not have the same meaning.
In Asia, communism is a modality of the West, it is not its contradiction."

“Within artistic, academic, or media milieus, radicalism becomes a form of cultural capital, certifying that one belongs to the vanguard and sees more profound truths”

It is the phenomenon of people who latch onto radical slogans & causes without understanding what they actually mean or what they actually support. They do not grapple with the violence or the consequences behind the movements they cheer.

Yes. I think Trump's new engagement in the Caucasus and Central Asia is great. Had a wonderful chat with @zriboua today. She says it is not only expanding US presence in an area where it was totally absent, but it is also twisting Russia's arm to end the Ukraine war. Leverage.
