My comments this morn on @waytooearly.bsky.social re the Iran talks and signs of diplomacy in face of a massive US military buildup; the importance of IC collection on Iran; and Rubio goes full MAGA in Budapest. Nobody better to talk foreign policy with than @alivitali . Happy Tuesday all. 🙏👊🇺🇸

Extraordinary reporting. Validation for the victims. Massive questions for a corrupted analytic intelligence community, whose head was buried in the sand. That’s the story.

First, it would be national security malpractice to sit back and do nothing. Cyber at a minimum. Ultimately, I think it all depends on which faction within the administration wins out – essentially it’s about the Vance vs Rubio wings. The isolationists vs the neocons. And who has Trump’s ear last…

Marc Polymeropoulos @mpolymer1.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

There are a number of potentially enormous foreign policy issues breaking all at once, critical junctures- in Iran, Venezuela, Russia/Ukraine, and Gaza. (Do I add Greenland?) I can’t remember a confluence of near or current crises like this in some time...

“Agent-running is all about people…. it’s about a case officer and an agent in a safehouse, a car meeting, or even conducting a dead drop. The safety of the agent, the sanctity of the operation, is paramount.” Great @mpolymer1.bsky.social essay: engelsbergideas.com/notebook/the...

The art of agent-running

Agent-running is all about people. The safety of agents – who often treat their case officers as confessional, priest-like figures – is paramount.

On @msnownews.bsky.social 2pm bloc to discuss Venezuela... in particular, the CIA-JSOC fusion (built over the last two decades in the GWOT, but now relevant globally). Plus a bit on almost immediate Trump fumbling of post strike outcomes...it's all about oil, throwing Nobel winners under the bus.
