The West has backed itself into a corner. Russia is grinding down eastern Ukraine and making it clear that they are in it for the long haul. It has been an expensive and painful slog for Putin, and has exposed the weakness of the Russian armed forces in delightful ways. But that doesn’t mean he…

Iran is the primary driver of unrest in the Middle East, and has been since the Mad Mullahs took over in 1979. And they like mucking around far from their turf…they actively try to assassinate Iranians and others across the world who are anti-Mad-Mullah. They use their terrorist proxies such as Hezbollah to conduct terrorist…

One civilian death is too many! Israel is targeting civilian aid workers! Israel is murdering children! Israel must do more to protect innocents! Israel is risking Western support by being so brutal! Israel Kills 37 Civilians At Wedding Party Israel admits drone strike killed civilians Except…those were American strikes that mistakenly killed civilians in Afghanistan…

We have the largest office building in the world (until last year) dedicated to the thousands of people who are supposedly dedicated to the planning and execution of our defense plans. 23,000 people to be exact, although I am confident that the Department of Defense has no real idea how many work there or what…

The paradigm of Israeli security changed on October 7th, and the Israeli body politic seems united in its rejection of any accommodation with the bloodthirsty savages of Hamas, the Palestinian Authority, Hezbollah, and by extension…Iran. Israel spent 75 years making concession after concession to these 7th century animals, and nothing worked. Even the acceptance of…

The Arab world, driven by Islam, see interactions with others as a power dynamic. No scholar of the Middle East ignores this, and the history of the Arab world is rife with examples. Yet the elites in the halls of American power ignore those lessons, or simply never learned them. Just read Bernard Lewis, the…

South Carolina Representative Adam Morgan stood up in the state house and made the apparently revolutionary statement that he should listen to the people who elected him, rather than the lobbyists and the lifers in the legislature. And as a delicious bonus simply and concisely destroyed the idea of central planning. But we are so…
