To stop nuclear weapons from spreading further, the United States should strengthen its alliances and “pursue pragmatic engagement with China and Russia,” argue Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar, Ernest Moniz, and Meghan O’Sullivan.

Washington must adapt its playbook for a new era of nuclear risk.

The best thing I've read on the new information ecosystem. (And a great gateway for people whose influence is based on traditional expertise/credentials. It's by the Carnegie Endowment! There are footnotes!)
Last week @rachelkleinfeld.bsky.social and I put out a provocation & set of suggestions on how influence has changed and why institutions (& funders) need to change their thinking on shaping public opinion and connecting w/audiences. The old way no longer works. carnegieendowment.org/research/202...
President Trump has federalized the D.C. police force. But what does politicization of security forces mean, more broadly, and what guardrails does the U.S. have to protect against it? @rachelkleinfeld.bsky.social explains: youtube.com/shorts/BjoSO...

Delighted to share a new report that's been over a year in the making, with @carnegieendowment.org 's @ibkardon.bsky.social & Cameron Waltz, on China's internal security outreach under GSI: carnegieendowment.org/research/202...
A New World Cop on the Beat? China’s Internal Security Outreach Under the Global Security Initiative
Global outreach by China’s internal security agencies is expanding. This nonmilitary security diplomacy plays a crucial yet overlooked role in Chinese foreign security policy.

Great to see 'THE NEW NUCLEAR AGE' reviewed in the @financialtimes.com: "Panda’s critique will land like a bucket of cold water on those who view nuclear as humanity’s last best hope for energy and see atomic confrontation as a thing of the past." www.ft.com/content/7fec...

"Nonviolent collective action is as American as apple pie," says @carnegiedcg.bsky.social's @naimarkrowse.bsky.social. Ahead of this week's holiday, we're taking a moment to reflect on his 2017 piece for @wagingnonviolence.org: wagingnonviolence.org/2017/07/foun...
The founding myth of the United States
The celebration of war on the Fourth of July obscures the contributions that a decade of nonviolent resistance made to the founding of our country.

Karim Sadjadpour is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, specializing in Iran and U.S. foreign policy, and he was my guest on an emergency episode of The Prof G Pod.
In today's @financialtimes.com, I reflect on the implications of the joint Israeli-US attacks on Iran for a fragile and bruised nonproliferation regime on.ft.com/45Jehd3
Iran attack could be the death knell for nuclear non-proliferation
More countries will seek atomic weapons unless Europe and its allies defend a flawed but vital treaty

If a ceasefire takes hold I'm relieved. But this war could prove a disaster for nonproliferation. The Iranian regime has key nuclear capabilities intact--including a HIGHLY ENRICHED URANIUM stockpile--every reason to build the bomb. Me in @politico.com . www.politico.com/news/magazin...
Opinion | JD Vance Said the Iran Strikes Set Their Nuclear Program Back ‘Substantially.’ He’s Wrong.
The strikes probably only delayed Iran’s nuclear ambitions — and reinvigorated them.

US should not become a pawn in the Israel-Iran war - The Boston Globe
Trump should pivot to coercive mediation: making any additional military or intelligence support conditional on Israeli restraint.

.@nktpnd.bsky.social and I argue in The Boston Globe: The U.S. has an interest in preventing a nuclear Iran—but that’s not what this war is about anymore. It’s becoming a campaign for regime change, and the U.S. should resist being dragged into this war. 🧵
Yes. Short thread on why. A key source of ambiguity right now is whether US will or will not enter this war. This matters to Israel, but also to Iran. <1>
Having President live tweeting this war probably isn’t the best idea
The U.S. has much to lose and little to gain from involvement in an Israel-Iran war, writes @nuclear-jim.bsky.social. Read why in his latest commentary: carnegieendowment.org/posts/2025/0...
The United States Should Stay Out of the Israel-Iran War
Even U.S. intervention would not forestall an Iranian nuclear bomb indefinitely.

Knowing what I know, I don't see these strikes meaningfully putting Iran's program back (I suppose you can quibble about what meaningful constitutes for Netanyahu). Iran will strike back and odds of a political choice to leave the NPT/take other steps have gone up.
