RISING LION and MIDNIGHT HAMMER have not slowed the Iranian program nearly as much as the JCPOA. We hold diplomacy to much higher standards than bombing. The same people who endlessly complained about the JCPOA "sunsetting" are now happy to delay Iran's bomb by much less. 15/17

Oh, ffs. I continue to assess risk of nuclear weapons use by Russia, in, over, about, or on Ukraine as low, high confidence, (ceteris paribus) shirt- to mid-future. A) If you don’t want your nuclear capable planes to be targeted then don’t use them to invade your neighbor. B) bombers 1/n
