Fiona Hill, a former adviser to the US National Security Council, says war with Russia is "already happening" – but Sky's @haynesdeborah challenges what we mean by war, and whether the comparison with Ukraine goes too far.
"The Iran war has not demonstrated that the United States no longer has interests in the Middle East; it has demonstrated, very painfully, that it does and that the way Washington has been pursuing them for a generation is unsustainable." @PhilGordonDC brook.gs/4B7uTYW

"Trump’s successors will need to learn from his missteps, if they wish to steadily rebuild confidence in America as an upholder of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait."
Read the new policy brief from @ryanl_hass: brook.gs/4hS3MbB
Writing in @TIME, @AndrewIYeo explains why Ukraine's announcement that it has sent two captured North Korean soldiers who were fighting for Russia, to South Korea, has caused a diplomatic incident: brook.gs/4B0S6w9
🚨 STARTING SOON 🕙: Join us online for a conversation with Nobel economics laureate and MIT professor Daron Acemoglu, as he reviews the political, economic, and technological causes for the crisis in liberal democracy: brook.gs/47FWaEp
🎧 Listen to @ryanl_hass, @jonczin, & @eosnos as they look at China from the ground up. What do people want & how has that changed over the past decade? How are they living through a period of slower growth, tighter control, and rapid technological change? brook.gs/4jfvZeU
”The focus on how much southern NATO members spend risks obscuring a more important question: how effectively are they contributing to regional security?"

Putin "does not want a nuclear war," writes Steven Pifer. "He wants the West to believe he is ready for one in order to intimidate. The West can choose not to be intimidated."

What is causing the crisis in liberal democracy?
Join us on Tuesday, October 13, from 10 am - 11 am for a keynote from economist @DAcemogluMIT, followed by a discussion between him, @asliaydintasbas, and @ConStelz: brook.gs/47FWaEp
.@m_poznansky & @Ian_M_Easton write that China could take Taiwan via "nonforcible realignment or... bloodless annexation, whereby an elected government in Taipei concludes a treaty effectively ceding Taiwan’s territory to the People’s Republic of China." brook.gs/3TLki5m
"While Western leaders cannot wholly discount Putin’s nuclear threats, a pattern seems evident. When the Kremlin raises the prospect of nuclear use in implausible circumstances, at the end of the day, it does not follow through."

Given the chatter about a potential trilat among Trump, Xi, and Putin at the APEC summit next month, I wanted to share our recent conversation on the The Beijing Brief with Fiona Hill and @patricia_m_kim about the China-Russia relationship.
