About Zero Line

If things go to plan, this will be a newsletter about war, international relations, and the political ideas that both animate and reflect them. You can read about some of my motivations for starting this project here.

As I get started, I’ll be experimenting with format and content. Please get in touch if you have feedback, or - especially - if there’s a question, topic or debate you’d like me to address. You can also find me on Twitter/X and BlueSky.

For now all posts will be available to non-subscribers, but if you’d like to help turn this newsletter into something bigger and better, all paid subscriptions are appreciated.
