A belief in military force as the sole ingredient for success has enabled a lazy and destructive foreign policy that ignores the will and motivations of both allies and adversaries, argue Gil Barndollar and Jason Dempsey. foreignpolicy.com/2026/10/20…

How much are disruptions to Starlink, Starshield, and U.S. intelligence-sharing going to end up hurting Ukraine? @AKendallTaylor: I think we've already seen the fallout of those decisions. President Zelensky has been pretty clear in his nightly addresses and his public statements, that those disruptions have cost Ukrainian lives. They aren't getting the early warning for incoming Russian missiles and drones, and that has a real impact on Ukrainians. So certainly, with Starshield and Starlink, those disruptions have real time implications for Ukraine, and President Zelensky was asked somewhat recently, if the United States were to withdraw support, how could Ukraine continue? And he was pretty candid in saying, and I think I share his assessment, that they would go on with European backing, they can continue to push back against Russian efforts, but that it would be significantly harder for Ukraine to be able to do that.
