Mock Strategy
The crazy-quilt National Security Strategy released a few weeks back is a patchwork of declarations of intent, admonitions thrown at other countries and ad hominem statements of dubious validity. It lacks coherence or consistency – much less a theme, a central idea, or a concept that gives pattern to its incongruent parts. Clearly, the document is […]

European Russophobia and Europe’s Rejection of Peace
Europe has repeatedly rejected peace with Russia at moments when a negotiated settlement was available, and those rejections have proven profoundly self-defeating.

No WWII No Victory Parade in Moscow and No War in Ukraine Today If the West Had Not Rearmed Germany!
May 9! Moscow Celebrates Victory Over Nazi Germany’s Invasion, but with incomprehensibly little or no public condemnation of American corporations having earlier heavily rearmed Hitler’s Nazi Germany as British and French armies stood down in cooperation and in violation of the Versailles Treaty’s prohibition of German rearmament. With the world of the plundering Colonial Powers […]
