The Norwegian Prime Minister and the Finnish President reject the mantra of ex-NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg that “weapons are the way to peace."
This is a noble recognition of reality, writes @MJMBlackburn81.

A string of failed nation-building efforts gives ample reason for introspection in the American foreign policymaking community. Sadly, however, there was no such introspection in Rubio's speech.

For the foreign-policy establishment, China filled a gap in U.S. foreign policy that had been empty since the end of the Cold War: the foreign adversary against which the U.S. could organize a global security bloc.

Brett McGurk laments the potential dangers of confronting Israel. But others who served alongside him say that this ignores times when pressure helped alleviate humanitarian suffering in Gaza.

During his term as VP, Wallace famously championed the anti-imperialist, pro-working class “century of the common man,” which he opposed to Henry Luce’s vision of a U.S.-dominated “American century.”

"Finland and Norway’s more moderate language is a crucial first step toward a shared European understanding that continuing the war in its current form is self-defeating."

Rubio's speech in Greece was no primer for American retrenchment; it was simply a rhetorical rebranding of the Bush-era Global War on Terror.

U.S.-China interactions will continue to be contentious for some time, but the unraveling of the ad hoc coalition that created the apparent anti-China consensus makes any form of “new cold war” unlikely.

The Reagan-Gorbachev meeting in 1986 reminds us that a better world is possible if leaders are willing to take chances, buck their foreign policy establishments, and speak truth about the madness of nuclear weapons, writes @MartinDiCaro

“Tonight I want to talk about peace,” Henry Wallace said, warning that “he who trusts in the atom bomb will sooner or later perish by the atom bomb.”

Norway and Finland are moving in a different direction from those who claim “victory” over Russia – however defined – is a prerequisite for future European security, writes @MJMBlackburn81

This ex-Biden official is working hard to rewrite the history of the U.S. role in the Gaza war, writes @blaise_malley

If Democratic bosses hadn't replaced him with Harry Truman, history could have gone much differently, write Peter Kuznick and @IvanaNHughes

Europe has refused any serious commitment to diplomacy since the start of the Ukraine war.
Could Finland and Norway show the continent a better path forward? @MJMBlackburn81
