I concur, Robert. Things are changing so fast in so many places that the mid-week analysis you speak of would keep us more on top of information. I'm glad you're here. Alex deserves a bigger group following him. But I expect this will happen as word spreads that an expert like him is now on Substack. He has so much to offer all of us!
I, too, would like to see your take on the tragedy in Gaza and the West Bank. Personally, I am appalled at the complicity of my government in its pro-Israel stance, pretty much ignoring or giving token lip service to the plight of the civilians in the area. I don't support Hamas at all; I want to make that clear, but I'd like to know how you feel about the Two-State solution, or other ways to work towards peace in the region.
I look forward to having a robust conversation about Israel very soon but it is taking me some time to write something thoughtful that genuinely adds to the discussion. Appreciate your comment.
This is an excellent exemplar of a weekly update on global conflicts and flashpoints.
Concise, measured, objective, and a timely clarity of perspective.
A good starting point for your battle rhythm.
Perhaps you might consider crafting a mid-week domestic impact analysis with which to follow up these updates.
Thank you, Robert, I appreciate this suggestion. My wife suggested something similar so it looks like that's settled ;)

Appreciate your kind words, Maddy! And everyone's efforts to get the word out!

John Oliver had an eye-opening segment on the “nationalist” running in Argentina. Worth watching, perhaps with bourbon.
