"Extending the armed forces’ participation in internal security gives rise to problems within the military.Soldiers are transformed into subordinates of the police, they are relegated to routine constabulary duties".See this paper, Charles Moskos Prize 2025, on🇮🇹 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

If mil leaders don’t buy the message, they can keep quiet or self-select out. Those who don’t want to be part of politicized military (or agree w/ the ideology) leave. This aims to weed out committed professionals who strongly adhere to norms of nonpartisanship. 6/

For the Guardian, @turnbulldugarte.com and I discuss our research that clearly shows one thing: Labour's anti-immigration strategy will only strengthen Reform and weaken its own electoral prospects. It won't win voters back but ultimately normalizes the far right

Our research makes it clear: by capitulating to the right, Labour is driving voters to Reform UK | Tarik Abou-Chadi and Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte
Mimicking Farage on immigration is senseless. Labour voters feel betrayed; anti-immigration voters see through the ruse, say academics Tarik Abou-Chadi and Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte

People are STILL minimizing b/c the worst hasn't happened.

Sure, DC now has military checkpoints, but isn't crime bad there?

Sure, people are being dragged away by goon squads, but aren't they mostly illegal?

Sure, universities and the media are being strong-armed, but aren't they too liberal?

US media is in the fetal position, living in a delirious haze, desperately trying to pretend everything is normal and this is all boring everyday politics, even as federal troops flood into DC and the entire western world mounts emergency missions to slow Trump down

Actual question: It has been only 72 hours since the disastrous puppeteer/puppet show in Anchorage.

Has there yet been a background story on how, and by whom, this emergency intervention of *eight* big-time world leaders was pulled together, over a weekend?

NYT reporting today that the admin. is planning to use the U.S. military ag/ cartels. This has actually been in the works for awhile as I argued in this Foreign Affairs piece from April.

It's part of what I see as an effort to politicize the military and transform it into a partisan force. 1/
