What if the reason violence and violent crime is down is just because there’s so much less social contact among young people?

"Any deal with the Iranian regime won't deliver stability to energy prices" is an absolutely wild thing to say. Henny Youngman "How's your wife?"

The EU is ‌not rearming quickly or effectively enough to meet its goal of being ready to defend against Russia by 2030, according to the executive summary of an EU report prepared for the bloc's leaders that I got a look at this week. reuters.com/business/aerospa…

Excellent paper from Ben: “the United States should close its Middle Eastern bases, conduct operations there from greater distance or from the sea (if they continue at all), and invest relatively more in the capability to do so.”
The Iran war has made it obvious that U.S. bases are increasingly vulnerable. What is less evident is that they are also less necessary to launch air campaigns. @BH_Friedman explains in a new paper: defensepriorities.org/explai…

A bit surprising re: Pope Leo's visit to France: "Macron invited EU leaders to join them, but we hear Germany’s Friedrich Merz, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, the Netherlands’ Rob Jetten and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen RSVPed no." politico.eu/newsletter/bruss…

🚨🚨IC appears to have its hair on fire about Saudi nuke deal, per continued leaks.🚨🚨
Scoop: Classified documents provided to Congress include an assessment by the U.S. intelligence community that Saudi Arabia has not ruled out the option of developing a nuclear weapons program, per U.S. officials...

The No Fun League
NFL fined 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk $14,926 for engaging in an offensive demonstration Sunday vs. Miami. “Your imitation of chugging a beer constituted an offensive demonstration and could reasonably be construed as being in poor taste,” the NFL wrote in its fine letter. Juszczyk, nicknamed “Juice”, already has appealed the fine.

Also this is uncommonly acidic from the Economist: "Not since Lyndon Johnson escalated America’s role in Vietnam has a president so thoroughly wrecked his term with a foreign war."

So then it's two new US battalions in Lithuania and a total of two heavy brigades in Poland? This is burden-shifting?
NEW: Polish Foreign Minister says US and POL are "discussing a second" US base in Poland for "two heavy brigades, so up to 10,000 troops." "We hope that President Trump keeps the promise that he has made to this effect to our president."

French presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon says he wants to set France’s debt “on fire.” Now his allies are scrambling to spell out what he means. We’re going to ask the man himself later today at #POLITICOPlaybookLive 👇 🔗 politico.eu/politico-playboo…

From time to time it's good to reflect on the fact that the German Green Party, which is both very hawkish on Russia and a Green Party, successfully shut down nuclear power in Germany. Ideas have consequences.

Ben Shapiro assures his audience that the Iran War has nothing to do with Trump's falling poll numbers: "There's an op right now to pretend that the real reason for Pres. Trump's unpopularity is foreign policy—that is not true!"

Vulnerable Rs are increasingly trying to get credit for opposing the Iran disaster without actually opposing it. But to vote “no” on a resolution to reassert Congress’ constitutional prerogatives and end the war is to be objectively pro the war.
Kansas GOP Sen. Roger Marshall tells Semafor he'd "love to see a good way to end this war where Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons" but said he's going to oppose the Iran War powers resolution this week He said passing that resolution "would be a huge mistake. I think we need to make sure we take care of national security. We don't want Iran to have nuclear weapons"
