No 🧵 this Memorial Day Weekend.
In the meantime, you can see my latest World Politics Review. It places the ICC charges against Israel and Hamas officials into a larger context: What they mean for US-China/US-Russia Rivalry and the 'Rules Based Order'.

By dismissing outright the ICC’s charges against Israel’s leadership, President Biden laid bare the hypocrisy of the rules-based order, Paul Poast writes.

Biden and Blinken claim that the US protects the 'rules based order'. But their knee-jerk criticism of the ICC's charges against Netanyahu undermined that claim.
I explain why and how in my latest for World Politics Review.

IR Book of the Week!
'We Win, They Lose' by Matthew Kroenig & Dan Negrea. Title draws from the Reagan quote on the US approach to the Cold War. The book argues that this view should underpin the US approach towards China (and other issues) today.
