Eliot A Cohen

I have decided to open a Substack account to share articles in the Atlantic, episodes of #ShieldoftheRepublic and occasional short commentaries, recommended articles and the like. A new venture, so bear with me while I learn that medium substack.com/@eliotacohen1?…

The U.S. military’s judgment that the Iranian nuclear problem has suffered severe damage is likely correct, argues @EliotACohen: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

My latest in @TheAtlantic on how to think about the degree of damage done by the Israeli-US attacks on Iran. A history lesson, among other things. Also, you can get notification of my articles on Substack. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

I have been critical of Donald Trump for nearly a decade now. But when he does the right thing, I am going to say so. My latest @TheAtlantic theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

This stands up very well “In a special episode of Shield of the Republic, Eric and Eliot discuss the Israeli military operation against Iran.” ⁦@EliotACohen⁩ podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/shi…

My latest in @TheAtlantic on Israel vs. Iran. Some very large and lasting changes will result from this war, and I attempt to sketch out several of them. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Another great episode of #ShieldoftheRepublic, this time with Rick Atkinson discussing the second volume of his Revolutionary War trilogy, THE FATE OF THE DAY. Includes a fascinating look at how he works. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ame…

Visits to some of the key European capitals convinced me that some of the most important players in contemporary strategic debates are...ghosts. @TheAtlantic @CSIS theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Anti-Semitism at Harvard: my latest in @TheAtlantic. Please note, going forward I will be notifying those interested about my articles, podcasts, and the like on Substack, where my handle is theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/… . . .
