For @ForeignAffairs I wrote a preliminary assessment of economic sanctions on Russia so far. Many initial expectations were proven wrong. To paraphrase Moltke, no sanctions strategy extends with certainty beyond the first economic shock that it triggers. fam.ag/3Rdja3c

Five years ago today, the Labour Party manifesto for the 2017 General Election was officially launched at Bradford University 🌹 Some had been so excited by it, they wanted people to have it early … but this 🧵 is the story of what happened next …

If global multipolarity makes it important to recognize centers of great power aggression beyond the US, it’s also worth noting that multipolar eras — e.g. 1760s/1815 or 1880s/1914 — have often produced increased levels of imperial expansion and territorial annexation
