Sits in a tank and thinks.
My latest article argues the following five points: 1) Trump’s Middle East Policy Isn’t Chaotic—It’s Calculated. The seemingly erratic course is actually a deliberate strategy: Trump zigzags between hawks and "Restraintists" to maximize American leverage while avoiding costly…

Israeli cyberattacks “undermined the regime’s legitimacy in the most intimate way: by denying loyal officials and security personnel access to their own money.” Read @Doranimated @zriboua on the new era of financial warfare. wsj.com/opinion/predat…
Israel continues to protect Western Civilization despite Western Civilization's best efforts to stop it. By @Doranimated and @zriboua wsj.com/opinion/predat… via @WSJopinion
Israel did something radical: It destroyed digital assets and banking records to undermine the Iranian regime. Khamenei spent decades building a parallel financial system, all vanished. With my colleague @Doranimated we explain what this means: wsj.com/opinion/predat…
In our new @WSJ piece, my colleague @Doranimated and I: Reveal how during the 12-day war, Israel launched a historic cyberattack, erasing Iran’s financial data and signaling a new era of cyberwarfare. wsj.com/opinion/predat…
Your reggae version of John Denver’s “Country Roads.” Why? Because I care about you.
During the 12-day war, Israel launched an unprecedented cyber campaign against Iran's financial system. The attack powerfully undermined the regime's legitimacy. Khamenei now faces a clear choice: Abandon your nuclear ambitions or face economic ruin. @Doranimated @zriboua
“Strong nation states are a threat — especially Arab states are viewed as a threat to Israel,” @USAMBTurkiye said. But in Syria, he said, “I think all of the the minority communities are smart enough to say, we’re better off together, centralized.”

מאמר חדש של שותפי לפודקסט #Israel_Update, מייק @Doranimated, יחד עם עמיתתו ממכון האדסון @zriboua המעולה, על לוחמת הסייבר הישראלית והשמות שהיא גרמה במערכות הפיננסיות של הרפובליקה האסלאמית של איראן. מדהים. הנה תקציר בעברית (באדיבות צ'אט ג'י פי טי) - אבל אם תקראו את המקור תמצאו…
Israeli Defense Minister Katz: The Israeli army has just struck terror targets belonging to the Houthi terror regime at the port of Hodeidah and is forcefully thwarting any attempt to rebuild previously targeted terror infrastructure.
Hey @antonioguterres one of the most reliable sources of energy data @EnergyInstitute in its recent Statistical Review of Energy reported that fossil fuels now account for 87 (!!) percent of global energy consumption, up last year from their calculation of 81.5 percent. Indeed an…
Yes, I’m committed. Tell me what the alternative is.
Mike, I'm sad to say, has...commitments...to this project clearly. As much as it's falling into moral horror by the minute.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz admits Europe has been free riding on defense but says that’s changing.

President Trump’s decision to lift sanctions was a principled step, offering the Syrian people a chance to move beyond years of unimaginable suffering and atrocities. The international community has largely rallied behind the nascent Syrian government, watching with cautious…
Azerbaijan has declined to attend the upcoming CIS Economic Council meeting in Moscow.
For this genius, Al-Sharaa’s pragmatism is an affront. He wants pure sectarianism. How many Syrians have to die for his sense of moral purity?
Sharaa went to the Shii country of Azerbaijan and paid his respects to the statue of the national leader Heydar Aliyev, a communist of Shii heritage. On the same trip, he had direct meetings with Israeli officials. Is this supposed to be the based Sunni leader of Syria?
You are the great moral voice of our age. We hang on your every pronouncement. But you missed a beat with this one. If this conflict stains the soul of any nation, it is Iran. The Persians sow conflict everywhere. Please use your moral platform to tell them to mend their ways.
These actions stain the soul of Israel — a nation with which I’ve always been sympathetic. America’s involvement through the shady GHF is even more troubling. apnews.com/article/israel…
US Ambassador to Israel @GovMikeHuckabee sent a searing letter to Interior Minister Moshe Arbel, threatening not only to warn Christian Americans that Israel does not welcome them, but to introduce harsh measures against Israeli citizens seeking visas to the US. As exclusively…
PM Netanyahu: "I would like to brief you on what we have done in Syria, and what we are going to do in Syria. We have set forth a clear policy: demilitarization of the region to south of Damascus, from the Golan Heights and to the Druze Mountain area. gov.il/en/pages/spoke…
Blinken said many stupid things in this interview, but this statement was not one of them. I wish he and the media construct commonly referred to as “the Biden administration” had turned this sentiment into the center piece of its policy.
