Sometimes, Appeasement Is the Best Option
31 March 2025 @ 4:00 am
Appeasement was a bad idea in 1938, but it’s often a good idea. Ukraine would be wise to appease Russia. Ukraine’s supporters in the United States and Europe insist that any agreement ending Kyiv’s war with Russia must not involve Ukrainian territorial concessions, or Russia will profit from an inexcusable act of aggression against its … Continue reading "Sometimes, Appeasement Is the Best Option"

Arab Failures: The Unspoken Complicity in Israel’s Genocide
31 March 2025 @ 4:00 am
Explaining Arab political failure to challenge Israel through traditional analysis – such as disunity, general weakness, and a failure to prioritize Palestine – does not capture the full picture. The idea that Israel is brutalizing Palestinians simply because the Arabs are too weak to challenge the Benjamin Netanyahu government – or any government – implies … Continue reading "Arab Failures: The Unspoken Complicity in Israel’s Genocide"
The Signal Scandal, Carelessness, Revelations, and Hypocrisy
28 March 2025 @ 4:00 am

“I disagree with what you say but will defend to the death your right to say it.” ~ Voltaire (1694-1778) When Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, he included in it a list of the colonists’ grievances with the British government.

Mainstream Media Criticizes Ceasefire Negotiations in Ukraine: Don’t Believe Them
26 March 2025 @ 4:00 am
The mainstream media continuously points out that while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed readiness to accept the Trump administration’s proposed thirty-day ceasefire without preconditions, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said only that he supports the idea of a ceasefire while attaching preconditions that render it unworkable. Neither claim is true. Zelensky has attached preconditions, … Continue reading "Mainstream Media Criticizes Ceasefire Negotiations in Ukraine: Don’t Believe Them"
Escalating an Unwinnable War
26 March 2025 @ 4:00 am
President Donald Trump appears set to repeat one of the worst mistakes of his first administration: fighting an unwinnable war in Yemen. This time, it could be far worse as Trump has sent two aircraft carrier strike groups to the Red Sea, meaning Americans will be doing the fighting, not the Saudis. While the Yemeni … Continue reading "Escalating an Unwinnable War"

25 March 2025 @ 4:00 am
Israel has found a captive recently released from Gaza willing to regurgitate some of its most nonsensical talking points on the stage of the United Nations. Predictably, those talking points are already being exploited to justify Israel intensifying its slaughter of Palestinian children in Gaza – and further bully the United Nations into even greater … Continue reading "‘Where Was the UN?’ Asks Freed Israeli Captive.
