#USForeignPolicy

Long thread (27 pieces) but worth reading. On US Pacific region strategy. Very clearly stated, what and where US long-time priorities are (beside Western hemisphere it’s Pacific, first and foremost) and how to pursue them. #PacificStrategy #USForeignPolicy #GlobalPriorities #US

If the US is satisfied by a Iranian declaration on this topic, Iran being signatory of the NPT will easily deliver it. #Iran #NPT #USforeignpolicy #US #IR

Quite a warning from the U.S. to Oman not to entertain any ideas about joining the Iranian toll scheme for the Strait of Hormuz. #StraitOfHormuz #Iran #USForeignPolicy #US #OM #IR

Worth watching whether these weapons ever get delivered or whether the US is dumping Taiwan after the Trump trip to Beijing. There is a decent chance Taiwan is getting dumped. 🇺🇸🇹🇼 #Taiwan #USForeignPolicy #TrumpChinaTrip #US #TW

The recent indictment of 94-year-old former Cuban president Raúl Castro on murder charges by the US has raised speculation about potential outcomes for Cuba, including military intervention to capture him, a change in leadership while keeping the government intact, or facing economic collapse and domestic unrest amid the ongoing pressure campaign from the US. #CubaCrisis #RaulCastro #USForeignPolicy

Three ways Cuba crisis could play out after US indictment of Raúl Castro

Rutte calling Trump’s planned US cuts to NATO’s crisis response forces 'structured' and 'business as usual' is managerial delusion. Neither endless European dependence nor erratic US withdrawal is sustainable. Both sides own this mess. #NATO #USForeignPolicy #EuropeanSecurity #US #NL
