#Brazil’s election: end of right-wing “wave” or end of anti-incumbency? Or maybe it’s all about @LulaOficial! 🤔
As I argued in @wpreview, Latin American voters have barely moved ideologically & grade incumbents on delivery. Lula ran on record-low unemployment & a 15% welfare increase w/ approval underwater at 48-50, against a highly polarizing opponent, & won a narrow, conditional verdict. His 4th term opens w/ an opposition majority in Congress, public debt above 82% of GDP, & Flávio refusing to concede.

Trump's foreign policy isn't "realist" or non-ideological.
In @WPReview, I argue that the U.S. is shifting from democracy promotion to the promotion of right-wing populism abroad.

Was the War in Gaza a Genocide? In light of Navi Pillay's Nobel Peace Prize, I explore that question in my latest for @WPReview. The short answer: it's a legally high bar to cross, deliberately (and perhaps unreasonably) so.

Writing for a public audience is a commitment and a responsibility. That's why it's gratifying to have my work recognized by @UChicago with an Academic Communicators Network Excellence Award for Op-ed writing.
This is in recognition for my weekly columns in @WPReview, as well as the pieces I've written this year on the War in Iran (including my April piece in @nytimes and my numerous pieces with @PBanihashemi). The recognition means a lot and I'm thankful to those who nominated me for the prize 🙏

MBS's dream of turning Saudi Arabia into the next Dubai faces longer odds, to say the least, with Houthi strikes on Aramco's HQ.
As I wrote in June, "resilience" as the Gulf's new brand only goes so far against missiles and drones. @WPReview worldpoliticsreview.com/iran…
MBS's bet on Trump keeps paying off:
"Offices belonging to senior executives with Saudi oil giant Aramco were hit in an overnight Houthi strike on the company’s headquarters... The office of the Aramco chief executive was among those hit." apnews.com/article/saudi-ara…
