I talked to @BostonGlobe recently about my new book “Killing Machines.” The key takeaway is that Trump’s record of military impunity isn’t new - it follows a long history of overtly challenging the laws of war.

“Hegseth doesn’t just see the US playing a deterrent role. He wants to use that firepower to actively shape outcomes on the battlefield – elevating aggression over restraint,” @TGiftiv tells @theipaper

My contribution to the debacle surrounding the release of the #EpsteinFiles on @SkyNews with @skynewsSam in my role as Senior Research Fellow at @CUSP_ucl Do consider pre-ordering my new book, US Grand Strategy & the Madman Theory from @ManchesterUP

The Epstein files have become a 'political football', Dr James Boys tells @skynewsSam
Thousands of documents have been released by the US Justice Department, but critics say it doesn't comply with the law, and there is more to come.

In @ConversationUK, @AndrewBellUS and I examine the legality of Trump’s military strikes on alleged Venezuelan drug vessels. The conclusion is clear: these operations undermine fundamental legal norms and rest on a logic of impunity
