The Coming Climate Crisis Shakedown in Scotland
The Coming Climate Crisis Shakedown in Scotland In 2016, an inconceivable event aborted the Paris climate scheme. The Americans elected Donald Trump. Calling the Paris deal a rip-off of his country, Trump swiftly pulled the U.S. out of the accords. Upon what grounds? Put simply, America First. “Follow the money!” The old maxim is […]
Are the US and China Stumbling Toward an ‘Islands War’?
Are the US and China Stumbling Toward an ‘Islands War’? World War II began in Europe when the British, Sept. 3, 1939, declared war on Germany over its invasion of Poland to retrieve what Berlin claimed were its territories… If World War III breaks out between China and the U.S., it is likely to be […]
Is War With China Becoming Inevitable?
Is War With China Becoming Inevitable? Tensions are rising between the U.S. and China, as the list of ideological, political and economic clashes continues to lengthen. And there is a transparent new reality: China seems in no mood to back down. “The Indians are seeing 60,000 Chinese soldiers on their northern border,” Secretary of State […]
When It’s Over, Will We Be the Same America?
When It’s Over, Will We Be the Same America? If March shocked this nation as severely as 9/11, what is coming may be even more sobering. “Depend upon it, sir, when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully,” said Samuel Johnson. And as it is with […]
Is it Jaw-Jaw or War With Iran?
Is it Jaw-Jaw or War With Iran? Strategically, economically and politically, the Islamic Republic of Iran seems to be in almost desperate straits. “Jaw-jaw is better than war-war,” is attributed, wrongly, say some historians, to Winston Churchill. Still, the words lately came to mind. While last week ended with a hopeful U.S.-Iranian prisoner exchange that […]
Imperial Capital but America-First Nation
Imperial Capital but America-First Nation Is America still the world’s last superpower with global policing obligations? Or should we shuck off this imperial role and make America, again, in Jeane Kirkpatrick’s phrase, “a normal country in a normal time”? “Let someone else fight over this long blood-stained sand,” said President Donald Trump in an impassioned […]
Can Trump Still Avoid War with Iran?
Can Trump Still Avoid War with Iran? A more fundamental question arises: If the United States was not attacked, why is it our duty to respond militarily to an attack on Saudi Arabia? President Donald Trump does not want war with Iran. America does not want war with Iran. Even the Senate Republicans are advising […]
Is a New US Mideast War Inevitable?
Is a New US Mideast War Inevitable? In this new century, leaders of both parties have plunged our country into at least five wars in the Middle and Near East… None of these wars has produced a victory or success for us. But taken together, they did produce a multitrillion-dollar strategic and human rights disaster. […]
Mike Pompeo’s War Warning to China
Mike Pompeo’s War Warning to China Could America sustain such a commitment? More important, why should we? Has the White House thought through the implications of what the Pompeo threat may bring? As President Trump flew home from his Hanoi summit with Kim Jong Un, Mike Pompeo peeled off and flew to Manila. And there […]
Is Bolton Steering Trump into War with Iran?
Is Bolton Steering Trump into War with Iran? “Stop the ENDLESS WARS!” implored President Donald Trump in a Sunday night tweet. Well, if he is serious, Trump had best keep an eye on his national security adviser, for a U.S. war on Iran would be a dream come true for John Bolton. Last September, when […]
Has Russia Given Up on the West?
Has Russia Given Up on the West? By the end of his second term, President Ronald Reagan, who had called the Soviet Union an “evil empire,” was strolling through Red Square with Russians slapping him on the back. Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive. And how have we husbanded the fruits of […]
Regime Change — American Style
Regime Change — American Style The campaign to overturn the 2016 election and bring down President Trump shifted into high gear this week. Inspiration came Saturday morning from the altar of the National Cathedral where our establishment came to pay homage to John McCain. Gathered there were all the presidents from 1993 to 2017, Bill […]
Are Globalists Plotting a Counter-Revolution?
Are Globalists Plotting a Counter-Revolution? On meeting with the EU’s Jean-Claude Juncker last month, Donald Trump tweeted: “Both the U.S. and the E.U. drop all Tariffs, Barriers and Subsidies! That would finally be Free Market and Fair Trade.” Did Larry Kudlow somehow get access to Trump’s phone? We know not. But, on hearing this, Steve […]
Will Tribalism Trump Democracy?
Will Tribalism Trump Democracy? On July 19, the Knesset voted to change the nation’s Basic Law. Israel was declared to be, now and forever, the nation-state and national home of the Jewish people. Hebrew is to be the state language. Angry reactions, not only among Israeli Arabs and Jews, came swift. Allan Brownfeld of the […]
Is US Bellicosity Backfiring?
Is US Bellicosity Backfiring? U.S. threats to crush Iran and North Korea may yet work, but as of now neither Tehran nor Pyongyang appears to be intimidated. Repeated references by NSC adviser John Bolton and Vice President Mike Pence to the “Libya model” for denuclearization of North Korea just helped sink the Singapore summit of […]
