Online magazine of the @Quincyinst promoting diplomacy and military restraint. Send tips, pitches, and ideas to PitchRS@ quincyinst.org
- Macron and von der Leyen backed Israel’s aggression, then scolded Iran for retaliating on its own soil. When rules apply only to enemies, they’re not rules—they’re weapons.
- Masih Alinejad isn’t just an Iranian journalist and activist. She’s on the U.S. government payroll and works for the increasingly “rabidly pro-Trump” Voice of America. Media outlets that host her should tell us that #Soleimani
- What's this, 'the Department of War"? Rand Paul scolds the State Department for their lack of diplomatic thinking on Ukraine. MORE:
- NEW @RandPaul on RS: neocons say the commander in chief has virtually unlimited powers to initiate wars but they are just fine hamstringing and preventing him from actually ending a war. Huh?
- NEW: @RandPaul wants to raise a stink and stop the $650M air-to-air missile sale to Saudi. @VlahosAtQuincy: responsiblestatecraft.org/2021/11/17/ran…
- Hypocrisy reigns as hawks insert NDAA amendment restricting troop withdrawals from Afghanistan. @RandPaul for RS:
- While Americans struggle, $4.8M went to “influencer staff” in Ukraine, according to @RandPaul's new Festivus report. Add another $37K for influencer events. Is this diplomacy or a viral video contest? #TaxpayerDollars #Ukraine
- NEW: The Senate voted overwhelmingly Thursday to block a measure that would have withdrawn US troops from Niger. “Does it make sense to station over 1000 troops in a country ruled by a military junta?” asked @RandPaul, who sponsored the bill.
- The military knew about the potentially deadly carcinogens coming out of the burn pits on the massive FOBs in Iraq/Afghan but tried to hide the data. 15 yrs later, veterans are dying. responsiblestatecraft.org/2022/05/30/nev… #PACTAct @VetsAboutFace @VFPNational @dandcaldwell
