ALT The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling. By Jeffrey Goldberg

My take on factors driving #putin thinking in how to approach a ceasefire. This is real dilemma. We will know soon. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

1/THREAD: for past couple of months, I have been involved in extensive reporting alongside @mcbrams and @CaleoneMbewe. The result of that effort is a brutal story that uncovers a secret migrant trafficking syndicate operating in Malawi, preying on vulnerable Ethiopian migrants.

@ChathamHouse "China's continued approach of cool distance makes it a reticent yet critical potential player in negotiating a ceasefire, and it also needs to have limits on its ties with Moscow." My latest op-ed @FT

Beware of a ceasefire. My take on the implications of a rushed deal that leaves the defence of Ukraine in limbo. Just a reminder: since the war started 10 years ago, there have been 17 ceasefire agreements between 🇺🇦 &🇷🇺. None held. More here 🔽 chathamhouse.org/2025/01/rap…

Sharing my new article @ForeignAffairs assessing whether America's allies can save America's alliances.
I didn't expect President-elect Trump's press conference yesterday to make the topic so relevant.
It’ll certainly incentivise US allies to get serious.

Will @realDonaldTrump and @ZelenskyyUa see the end of war in 🇺🇦eye to eye? My take is - no. #Ukraine might become a collateral damage of great power politics. European coalition of brave nations must work together to prevent this from happening. photo @Reuters
A rational way forward for Europe
The best thing to come out of this election season so far is the dynamite duo of @KattyKay_ and @Scaramucci - pure perfection.
Congratulations to Maia Sandu - and to Moldova. America, take note!

Hmmm - I might have betrayed my religious upbringing in this article by @julianborger in the @guardian theguardian.com/world/2024/o…
Credible yet chilling must listen from @IvoHDaalder :
1️⃣ the established authorities thought 1930s Hitler could be contained
2️⃣ constitutional norms only work when they are followed
3️⃣ "The biggest risk is us" (🇺🇸) to geopolitical global order

In case you missed it at the weekend, there's a v. important case in Colchester where 1,000 new homes – and the apparent misuse of biodiversity net gain – are threatening a nightingale and all-round biodiversity hotspot (that's great for local people too). theguardian.com/environment/…
