    Unbecoming American: Judgement at Normandy

    Those who learned or vaguely remember what they were taught in school in those deliberately boring hours devoted to the subject called “history” may be forgiven for their confusion at the progressive transformation of core myths from the mid-20th century.

  • Fascism: What’s in a Word?

    East or West? West is Best

    Konstantin Kisin emigrated to Britain in 1993 at age 11, to join the flood of Russian emigres, high and low, looking for a new life.

  • Imperialism and Anti-imperialism Collide in Ukraine (Part 7)

    Previously, Part 6, I stated that weakening, cancelling Russia’s presence in the world, planning to partition it, or even destroying it has been a fixed U.S. objective.
