Dani Gilbert is a rock star and I am one extremely proud friend this morning. Measured, thoughtful, cogent analysis of a very difficult situation.
Ahead: @elonmusk says he no longer wants to buy @Twitter. Then @_danigilbert on Brittney Griner case right now, and the uses and drawbacks of publicity. And, American women seeking abortion assistance in Mexico.

To make the argument, chapters compare JFK & LBJ’s decision making vs China; Bush 41 & Clinton vs DPRK; Bush, Clinton, & Bush 43 vs Iraq; and Israeli Prime Ministers Rabin & Begin vs Iraq; I also explore Israel’s actions vis-à-vis Pakistan under Begin & Syria under Olmert 4/5
