Is Global ‘Democracy’ America’s Mission?
Is “democracy” really America’s cause? Is “autocracy” really America’s great adversary in the battle for the future? Not all autocrats, after all, are our enemies, nor are all democrats our reliable friends. “In the battle between democracy and autocracy, democracies are rising to the moment, and the world is clearly ...

Insult Diplomacy: Does Biden’s Vilification of Putin Help?
Since calling Putin a killer, Biden has progressed to calling him “a war criminal,” “a murderous dictator,” “a pure thug” and “a butcher.” It is difficult to recall an American president using such a string of epithets about the leader of a nation with which we were not at war. ...

Asia’s Autocrats Are Calling, Mr. Biden
While it flew 600 miles from Pyongyang into the Sea of Japan, the mammoth missile flew for 71 minutes, reaching an altitude of 3,852 miles. Had it been fired in a normal trajectory, its missile warheads could have reached Washington, D.C., and every city in the USA. While President Joe ...

Is Victory for Ukraine Worth Risking Nuclear War?
The question remains: When did the relationship between Russia and Ukraine become a matter of such vital interest to the U.S. that we would risk war, possible nuclear war, with Russia over it? How did we get here? During the 70 years that the Soviet Union existed, Ukraine was an ...

US Vital Interests Dictate an End to This War
While the threat to the independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine may be an existential one for that nation, it is no such peril to our nation. Indeed, if one were to enumerate the greatest threats to the republic to which all of us pledge allegiance, the outcome of that ...

Is There a Peace Deal Putin and Zelensky Can Accept?

How Solid Are US War Guarantees?
In World War II, we Americans did not go to war with Germany for Great Britain, when it declared war on Hitler’s Germany and then was defeated in France. We went to war with Germany only when Hitler declared war on us, four days after Pearl Harbor in December 1941. ...

US Policy: Cheer Ukrainians On — and Keep Us Out!
To repeat: If Russia attacks its neighbors Finland, Sweden, Ukraine, Moldova or Georgia, we stay out of the war. But if Russia attacks Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Slovakia, Romania or Bulgaria, we go in, even at the risk of nuclear war. Does this seem logical? Does this make sense? After Friday’s ...

Is a Russia-NATO Clash Over Ukraine Ahead?
Ukraine’s independence is not vital to the United States. While a desirable goal, it is not worth our fighting a war with Russia to preserve…. Indeed, had we given Putin assurances that NATO was closed to Kyiv, we might have prevented what has happened, because that was the first and ...
