Everyone has an interest in learning who is responsible for the audacious act of sabotage that destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines last year. Veteran reporter Seymour Hersh accused the US government of orchestrating the attack in a thinly sourced, but finely detailed piece. The media largely ignored his findings, until The New York Times jumped… Continue reading The New York Times promotes propaganda for the government and the Nord Stream pipeline explosions
In barely a week, America’s skies have been transformed into a real-life version of the classic Asteroids video game and there is plenty of reason to believe the Biden Administration might not be completely honest as a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter claims we destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines last year. The US military has shot… Continue reading What the hell is going on over America’s skies?
President Biden ultimately made the right call, shooting down the Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic Ocean, but questions about the past and the future remain. Why wasn’t he informed for three days? Why was the prior administration never informed? What do we do about it now? Last week witnessed what might have been the… Continue reading Bursting China’s Balloon
Russia’s war in Ukraine isn’t going as planned with fierce fighting in contested regions, but the expulsion of Russia from Ukraine no longer appears to be the objective in Washington, at least in some quarters. Calls for a negotiated peace have been met with skepticism and scorn while Ukraine’s fast track application to NATO and… Continue reading The Washington elite wants war with Russia for whatever mad reason
Rather than crippling the Russian economy as all the real card carrying experts promised, the ruble is stronger than it’s been in seven years and Russian oil exports are generating more revenue than ever. The outcome is the opposite of what was intended as the war in Ukraine rages on with no end in sight. … Continue reading Russia: Sanctions aren’t doing jack shit
The President’s trip to Europe was marred by unforced errors, a lack of any coherent strategy, no new and creative plans, and a general sense that trying hard is good enough. Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg Biden certainly is not. Instead, it seems he’s angling for the first Presidential Participation Trophy. Last week, President Biden traveled… Continue reading Biden and the free word on the brink
The slow moving, chaotic Russian assault, plagued by poor equipment and poorly trained soldiers, offers opportunities for Ukraine itself, the United States, and our allies around the world if we are willing to get far more creative and dynamic in our strategy and tactics. Now is the time to come up with something other than… Continue reading Ukraine: Can we dissolve the Russian military and make it disappear entirely?
Europe hasn’t seen a war like this in over 80 years, but so far the response from the United States and the rest of the world has lacked any coherent strategy as we impose sanctions for the sake of sanctions and search for a “free lunch” approach that both maximizes and minimizes economic pain. In… Continue reading Ukraine: Our response to the Russian invasion is incoherent and confused, but the bravery of the Ukrainian people themselves could be the deciding factor
President Teddy Roosevelt once said, “speak softly and carry a big stick.” This is the exact opposite: We have no stick at all, and yet we’re carrying on as if we had a baseball bat. So long as Europe is dependent on Russian energy, Russia will do what it wants in Eastern Europe. We should… Continue reading Ukraine: Why are we hyping up an invasion we can do nothing about?
Hundreds of Americans remained trapped in the war-torn country, the Taliban itself has beheaded female athletes and posted grisly pictures on social media while they target female judges for execution. Incredibly, we’re still sending them hundreds of millions of dollars in “humanitarian aid” and insist human rights is the cornerstone of our international diplomacy. Although… Continue reading Afghanistan: We’re paying the Taliban for the privilege of blood on our hands
