Trump, Zelensky, the reality that there are no guarantees in life, and other lessons from a disastrous meeting in the Oval Office that shouldn’t have been

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

No piece of paper can fully commit a country to war on behalf of another. Rather than lecturing President Trump, President Zelensky should have read his George Washington, accepting that strong commercial relations are the foundation for mutual defense, not words on a page. Whether you love President Donald Trump or hate him, the simple,… Continue reading Trump, Zelensky, the reality that there are no guarantees in life, and other lessons from a disastrous meeting in the Oval Office that shouldn’t have been

Winston Churchill and our modern fetish with ankle-biting

Christian Twiste1 Comment

Last week, Tucker Carlson interviewed a historian who claimed the legendary Prime Minister was the chief villain in World War II, more responsible for the war than Hitler.

Earlier this week, the… Continue reading Ukraine: We’re spending much more than the entire Russian military budget with no oversight, accountability, or end in sight

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

Ukraine: Can we dissolve the Russian military and make it disappear entirely?

Christian Twiste4 Comments

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?
