There is a CivMil element to this. The military isn’t supposed to obey illegal orders, and destroying civilian infrastructure to pressure a government is illegal.
But there are three reasons to think that won’t matter if after initial advice, Trump decides to insist.

Saudi Arabia pledges to invest more than $6 billion in Syria. This pledge follows a $7 billion electricity sector deal signed by the govt w/Qatar in May. Both Saudi & Qatar also jointly repaid Syria's $15.5 million debt to the WB, enabling it to qualify for loans needed for reconstruction.

The Ottoman scribal service is perhaps the dynasty’s finest achievement, allowing the sultan to collect immense tax revenues, mobilize huge armies and fleets, and control territories from Tunisia to Tabriz and from Azov to Aden. But for some reason, Sultan Donald is allowing his new Grand Vizier...

I did the menasky list back before there were starter packs but haven’t updated it in centuries. We probably need a good starter pack

Super important paper and 🧵:
@liranharsgor.bsky.social (follow her!) demonstrates in detail what we knew in general terms. Young Israelis are far more hawkish than previous generations. This is a cohort effect and cuts across demographics, meaning it will likely persist over time.

The Young and the Hawkish: My new article in Research & Politics analyzes generational trends in public opinion in Israel
Key finding: Young cohorts have significantly lower support for a Palestinian state and identify as right-wing more than older cohorts

Why did Assad's army collapse so quickly in the face of the rebels' advance?
Many plausible hypotheses, but mostly:
1) despair after losing the support of Russia, Iran, + Hezbollah
2) the rebels' promises of amnesty + autonomy

I plan to start posting on Bluesky more now. For those of you who do not know me, my work basically focuses on Russia and Iran - either individually or bilaterally - with an emphasis on nuclear and defense-related matters. I have a forthcoming book on their bilateral ties from Syria to Ukraine.

The abuse itself and the political response speak to the difficulties IDF high command faces in dealing w. LoAC violations. Interference from civilian leaders creates a permission structure for soldiers to abuse and a difficulty to punish if and when commanders decide to. #civmilsky #MENAsky

Just finished @jillianschwedler.bsky.social's PROTESTING JORDAN. If you only read one book about Jordan, make it this one, which seamlessly weaves 150 years of Jordanian history into an intensely contemporary narrative of political contestation, economic inequality, and the international order.
