After a dramatic rollout, Saudi Arabia and the U.S. are finally on the verge of a civil nuclear cooperation agreement.

But what does the deal entail? And what does it leave behind?

@jdmenton.bsky.social explains: carnegieendowment.org/emissary/202...
Is the U.S.-Saudi Nuclear Deal Moving From the Gold Standard to a Gilded Standard?
Congress should ask tough questions about the agreement’s more unique features and whether they advance U.S. interests or compromise them.

Russia's drone incursions are putting Europe's defenses to the test. If Russia decides to use drones against Europe once fighting in Ukraine closes, European leaders will need to follow lessons from Ukraine.

Moscow is testing Europe’s defenses with drone incursions and could decide to use drones against the continent on a much larger scale once the war in Ukraine pauses. European countries will need Kyiv ...

Is the peace process in Northern Ireland a useful model for Palestine? In some respects, yes, says @zaha-hassan.bsky.social. But several crucial differences limit its applicability — namely, the "one-sided" support of external actors.
