I’m surprised at respected journalists+academics who advocate for this, to demonstrate their “fairness,” but looking foolish in doing so. Look at the current winner. She deserved it. And- u can praise Trump for effort to stop the war (I did) without debasing yourself w/ Nobel nonsense.

New drinking game. Every time we read “give Trump the Nobel”, a shot of Jameson…. And a toast to narcissism and sycophancy…. Let’s do this….

We should all be happy for any progress toward a cessation of hostilities in Gaza and especially for the release of the surviving hostages. That said: editors and writers need to be clear a temporary ceasefire is not a "peace" deal. What we're talking about is phase one of a multiphase plan.

🔥 The @crisisroompod.bsky.social interview with former French Ambassador to the US Araud is one of the best we have done. Candid, frank, illuminating-it gives an extraordinary window into how European officials must deal with Trump. A class on diplomacy-and perhaps the perils of sycophancy?
