In contrast to extant proposals, I suggest that the only effective defense mechanism along the border with Russia is a physical wall made of drones.

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

IR friends - what would you say are the most well-known, most-used today (!), mainstream (?) introductory books/volumes out there?

'The Globalization of World Politics', obviously. What else comes to mind?

This.
It’s an exercise in infantilization to do everything you can to prevent a student from taking a shortcut. Let them develop their own agency if they want to. Use your time as an educator to come up with assignments that are good on their own merits & not bc they flummox a probability machine.

Evidently, you pull a Witcher.

"Bond's changed since that explosion", M mutters (quick wink to the audience?), as Rihanna saunters to the bar to order a Martini.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

"Neoclassical Realist Theory of Populist Foreign Policy" just out with @risjnl.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1017/S026...

With the official prognosis giving one additional seat to PVV and one to FvD compared to the ext poll, the narrative should really not be that the Netherlands/Jetten has beaten the radical right. The far right bloc remains remarkably stable.

With Trump, it's 50/50 whether they're going to obliterate Caracas or forget about this to focus on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch next.
More U.S. military firepower is headed to the Caribbean as Donald Trump escalates his anti-Maduro rhetoric. Nancy Youssef, Gisela Salim-Peyer, and Jonathan Lemire report on what could happen next in Venezuela:

This is basically my 'Foreign Policy Analysis' exam, just that I'm also asking about the casual mechanism.
FT columnist Janan Ganesh recently wrote of his conversion to the 'Great Man' theory of history - but only a minority agree

-History is primarily shaped by major figures: 27%
-Primarily shaped by broad social / economic / cultural / tech changes: 51%
