The Japan-US relationship is tremendously undervalued. The recent Yen bailout inspired Ruairi and I to attempt to give Japan it’s due.
I also published a substack making the case for Japan being the US’s greatest ally.

Ukraine might be doing better than it was last year. But last year was pretty catastrophic. It’s time to push peace, not more war. Today’s conversation with Ruairi also inspired a substack post on the Chechen wars of the 1990s, which you can find here…
