@TimothyDSnyder @anneapplebaum @JoeBiden you’re on the side of fulfilling obligations, defending our interests, defending our allies interests, defending democracy, and standing against Russia’s genocide of Ukraine. @SpeakerJohnson is not. The GOP is not. @realDonaldTrump is not. They mislead 🇺🇸.

This is a terrific interview of young Nick Daicos. At 20 years of age, he comes across SO well, in terms of his articulateness, humility, warmth and sense of perspective. youtube.com/watch?v=UHL_0a…

I had a long and meaningful phone call with 🇨🇳 President Xi Jinping. I believe that this call, as well as the appointment of Ukraine's ambassador to China, will give a powerful impetus to the development of our bilateral relations.

Australia's public debate is overdue for fair, accurate and respectful analysis of Taiwan - living proof there is nothing inherently authoritarian about Chinese civilisation. It's sad, lazy and a racial double standard to dismiss Taiwanese democracy

In saying "AUKUS commits Australia to fight PRC if USA does, simple", my colleague again misses the point: we're already closely tied (Des Ball said so yrs ago) & our efforts aim to deter a status quo change, not accelerate it. Weakness invites adventurism lowyinstitute.org/the-interprete…

@nntaleb You are good at math and bad at policy. Annually, venture investment makes up only 0.2% of GDP, but delivers an astonishing 21% of U.S. GDP in the form of VC-backed business revenues.
