“I’m heartened to learn of @RadioFreeAsia contributor Shin Daewe's release. Journalists like Shin pursue truth and hold officials accountable even under dire threat. Press freedom won today, and I'll keep advocating for journalists imprisoned for their work.” -@SenatorShaheen
"I'm proud to stand with unjustly imprisoned @RadioFreeAsia contributor and former @DVB_English reporter, Shin Daewe. Shin's award-winning documentaries highlight the impacts of climate change and armed conflict in Burma." -@SenatorShaheen

"Russia’s shared interests with Iran make it an unsuitable mediator and will surely work to undermine America’s interests in the Middle East and those of America’s partners and allies."

The charge for the United States is to deter war with China without capitulation and to compete effectively across all the areas of soft power. The United States has an array of tools to do this, including humanitarian aid, development assistance, support for democracy abroad, and strategic communications efforts. Strangely, these are the efforts most under threat by the new cost-cutting teams. If it goes too far, it will amount to unilateral disarmament in the world’s most important contest. nytimes.com/2025/03/22/us/po…

Good points to remember that Russia actively blocked both Max pressure and efforts at a new agreement last year
Long an arsonist in the Middle East, Russia now offers to play firefighter in mediating a nuclear agreement between the U.S. and Iran. Russia has done more than most to undermine Maximum Pressure and support Iran and its proxies. Better for @POTUS to work with E3 allies…
