THREAD:

Today, the @NewlinesInst Captagon Trade Project publishes a landmark report cataloguing key trends and new findings in the #captagon trade.

newlinesinstitute.org/state-resilien… This has been well over a year in the works with @KaramShaar, with us both scraping the open-source for every captagon-related laboratory bust, seizure, arrest, and incident to pull together a comprehensive picture of how the trade has evolved since 2015.

THREAD:

Tomorrow, American and Iraqi delegations will sit down for Strategic Dialogue talks.

This is a big moment for the #US-#Iraq relationship with a new Biden administration and accumulating security concerns in Iraq. The talks are intended to cover shared #US and #Iraq mutual interests across a range of topics, such as improvements in trade, development, aid, Iraq’s education, industrial, and health sectors, climate issues, and of course, the elephant in the room: security.

@NewlinesInst launched our first episode of its "Contours" podcast series last Friday, but just in case you missed it: myself, @jeff_hawn, @eugenechausovsk, and @NicholasAHeras take a deep-dive into the #Russia's buildup along its border with #Ukraine.

newlinesinstitute.org/russia/is-puti… #Russia has always had an interest in protecting its influence in Ukraine as an existential imperative in Eastern Europe, but we had to ask: why is the Kremlin acting now? What elements are driving the timing of this buildup along the border with #Ukraine?
