John Bew, former adviser to four prime ministers, argues that people often forget that appeasement in the 1930s had popular support as a foreign policy, backed by an establishment concerned about the costs of rearmament, and a public morally averse to another war. Tim Shipman | #coffeehouse

🚨James Carden: Republican establishment is FIRMLY in control of Donald Trump’s foreign policy ‘Donald Trump has not changed the Republican Party’s foreign policy. He talks a good game, but the fact of the matter is that the Republican foreign policy establishment is unchanged, and the Republican foreign policy establishment is firmly in control of Donald Trump’s foreign policy… So what you have is a shocking continuation of what we have had over the past 25 years, from Bush to Obama, Obama to Trump, Trump to Biden, Biden to Trump.

🚨🇮🇱 The IDF is facing an absolute nightmare scenario as it continues to sustain daily losses from relentless drone attacks. Geopolitical analyst and former IDF captain Shaiel Ben-Ephraim warns that if Israel is forced to withdraw under this kind of military pressure, it will be remembered as a catastrophic defeat. According to Ben-Ephraim, the complete lack of a coherent foreign policy strategy is pushing the country deeper into a self-defeating cycle just to protect domestic political interests.

#WATCH | Delhi: Congress MP Manish Tewari says, "The situation in West Asia, in the Gulf Cooperation Council Region and the larger Middle East continue to be volatile and tense. But it does raise a larger question over which the Govt needs to seriously introspect. Does strategic autonomy mean keeping silent on regime change through coercive means? Does strategic autonomy mean not condemning the targeted assassinations of foreign leaders and other functionaries, and abductions of sitting Heads of State? Does strategic autonomy mean not condoling the assassination and 196 children who were killed in a targeted missile strike? That is not strategic autonomy. Therefore, while we have legitimate interests in the broader Middle East, we have a diaspora spread across all countries, we have energy security needs. But simultaneously there are also certain principles that have run through the Indian Foreign Policy thought...The Govt seriously needs to think and introspect in the context of the evolving situation in West Asia, what really does strategic autonomy mean?"

Left: One of Keir Starmer's justifications for letting the US use British military bases to attack Iran is because UK armed forces in the middle east are at threat from Iran Right: Foreign Office Special Advisor to David Lammy, Ben Judah, "We're so deeply tied in to the US security system, that when you go - as I've been - to several of our bases in the Gulf that what is really ours - I'm going to be honest - is British zones in or by American bases" "Those are currently under attack" "We would very easily come under attack by the Iranians" Cathy Newman, "And then we're dragged into the war" Ben Judah, "Absolutely, a war in which we had no real role in planning, a war we did not choose" "This is what happens when you're so closely tied into a superpower that has become erratic" I'm no fan of the Iranian regime, their oppression of the Iranian people is abhorrent, their extreme abuse of religion to justify it is equally unIslamic and unjust Do we need to protect British citizens abroad? Absolutely. Do we need to keep our military personal safe? 💯 without question But the UK being dragged into the US's war with Iran, surely this can't be a good thing for us?

There is no difference, for example, between a French politician running for public office in America to advance the interests of France and a Muslim politician running for public office in America, because the Muslim candidate will be serving the causes of the Islamic state. Islam is not only a religion; Islam is a state that has a population, a constitution, and a foreign policy doctrine. This state does not have a territory because its territory is the entire world.

Germany's Chancellor Merz on Türkiye: We recognize the success that has been achieved in Syria. Without a contribution from the Turkish President, this would not have been possible. Türkiye is making an enormous contribution to stabilizing the region. I value Türkiye's role in foreign and security policy. It is an important strategic partner for us.

🚨BREAKING: Ben Habib Pledge to DELETE Palantir data harvesting from the United Kingdom This foreign company, PALANTIR, now holds data from the NHS, Police, DHSC, Local councils, and the Government Digital Service. It’s now been revealed that they control Britain’s highway data and the Ministry of Defence. The worst thing is that under the US Cloud Act and FISA – the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act – “gives law enforcement and intelligence the right to access data anywhere in the world if held by a US company”. This gives the 🇺🇸 US MASSIVE control over 🇬🇧 us. Ben Habib's pledge to get back control of our data by “DELETING IT” from Palantir. Definitely not EASY, but THIS IS A WIN if done.

THE POSSIBILITY OF UKRAINE BECOMING A MEMBER OF NATO IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE TO THE RUSSIANS. IT IS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT, AND THEY ARE NOT GONNA STOP UNTIL UKRAINE AND THE WEST ARE DEFEATED AND THEY BOTH ACCEPT THE FACT THAT UKRAINE HAS TO BE A NEUTRAL STATE, NUMBER ONE, AND IT HAS TO BE DISARMED TO THE POINT OFFENSIVE THREAT TO RUSSIA. - John Mearsheimer

Karoline Leavitt drops the HAMMER on “disgraced” former NCTC director Joe Kent. REPORTER: “I was wondering if you would respond to some of this criticism of the administration from past allies like Joe Kent, who have said that the president’s red line shifted from, Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon to Iran cannot pursue nuclear enrichment. “What is the administration’s response to that criticism?” LEAVITT: “I think the president and I have both strongly responded to the criticism by Mr. Kent, who unfortunately resigned in disgrace and accused the president of basically being controlled by foreign countries and foreign manipulation.” “Which is a RIDICULOUS and laughable assertion.” “So his accusations have ZERO credibility as far as this White House is concerned.”

Most people don't know what the Foreign Service actually does. These are the career diplomats who staff every U.S. embassy in the world. It used to be an esteemed institution, but over time, DEI infiltrated and we began testing on ideological alignment instead of American history and foreign policy. The State Department's new America First reforms are much needed. They restore a real written exam, training built around economic statecraft and strategic competition, and required reading from Washington, Kennan, and the Federalist Papers. Huge credit to Secretary Marco Rubio Department of State.

US-ZAMBIA HEALTH DEAL: BLACKMAIL AS US FOREIGN POLICY The US global health strategy is increasingly being recognised as a dangerous umbrella for advancing biomedical imperialism, and the example of Zambia is uniquely instructive. Under the proposed Zambia-US deal, life-saving HIV medication for 1.3 million Zambians would be used as a US bargaining chip to secure preferential access to Zambia's copper, lithium, cobalt, nickel and other so-called "critical minerals". Worse still, this blackmail foreign policy takes place against a background of decades of IMF and World Bank structural adjustment programmes which have systematically dismantled Zambia's healthcare system. Trump's stated policy migration "from charity to transactions" conveniently ignores the fact that Zambia's manufactured healthcare dependency was itself a US foreign policy creation. David Hundeyin

We hear from Trump that Russia is not a threat and they don’t have imperial ambitions. Listen to someone who has the largest land border (830 miles) with Russia who is constantly under threat. 🎥 TikTok - @justdavib3s

Turkey and India are separated by more than 4,000 kilometers and share neither a border nor a direct military rivalry. Yet, strategic observers are increasingly discussing India's growing presence in regions traditionally linked to Turkish interests. In recent years, India has strengthened ties with countries such as Greece, Cyprus, and Israel—nations that have their own strategic disagreements with Turkey. At the same time, Indian naval deployments and exercises in the Mediterranean have highlighted New Delhi's expanding geopolitical reach beyond the Indian Ocean. This does not necessarily mean India is pursuing a policy aimed at Turkey. However, it does reflect a broader trend: India's diplomatic, military, and economic influence is increasingly extending into regions far beyond South Asia. As global power dynamics evolve, partnerships and strategic alignments may prove just as important as military strength. #turkey #India #Pakistan #Israel #middleeast #greece
