Are the United States and Israel in Decline-and-Fall Mode?

The horrors deliverable by Israel that might come next Speculation is growing over the sustainability of the United States’ model of global dominance which emerged as Washington ended the Second World War as plausibly the sole superpower. That role was first tested in the Korean War, which produced something of a stalemate in a confrontation […]

Trump Talks War for Easter Week

By the way, who shot Charlie Kirk? This past week was what many Christians regard as Holy Week, starting with celebration of Jesus Christ’s Last Supper on Holy Thursday; mourning Christ’s crucifixion and death on Good Friday; continuing with prayer and church services on Holy Saturday; and concluding with the glory of Christ’s resurrection on […]

On the Road to Armageddon

Pete Hegseth says “It takes money to kill bad guys!” I had thought the United States government had hit a new low point last week when the Federal Commission of Fine Arts approved a Semiquincentennial 250th anniversary commemorative 24 karat gold coin featuring President Donald J Trump leaning on his his desk with clenched fists and scowling but […]

Maybe Attacking Iran Was Not Such A Good Idea

Trump unleashes the Israeli monsters The completely unprovoked attack on Iran initiated by the United States and Israel has, after a little more than a week of military action, opened a new depth of geopolitical insanity.

Israel to Attack Iran? Washington Gives the Green Light to the ‘Military Option’

The evacuation of Americans and at least some vulnerable Afghans from Kabul has ended without further mishap, though questions remain about who might have been left behind in the poorly […]

Always Another War

But the recriminations will go nowhere as there is certainly enough mud […]

A New War in the New Year? Trump Again Takes Aim at Iran

One of the most perplexing narratives presented during the waning days of the administration of President Donald J. Trump is his apparent disengagement from dealing seriously or providing leadership regarding the surging Coronavirus while at the same time continuing an activist foreign policy that in no way benefits any American. Ironically, the new administration of […]

A Killing in Iran: Who Gains From Yet Another Assassination?
