Ted Galen Carpenter, writing at National Interest, explains why “NATO should stop crowding Russia.” The announcement that NATO would deploy four battalions of troops to the Baltic republics and Poland is merely the latest evidence that Western officials are utterly tone deaf about how their actions are going to be received in Moscow.

The Biggest Driver of Gold Prices Is…
The two biggest drivers of gold demand are jewelry and investment. The straw that stirs the drink for gold prices is investment demand. Over the last five-years, gold investment demand has been down an average of 34.1 tons per year, as shown below in the World Gold Council’s Gold Demand Trends. But in the first […]
Is Diversity America’s Strength?
America’s strength has not been its diversity, but her ability to overcome the inherent problems in diversity, writes Thomas Sowell. America’s great good fortune in the past has been that Americans have been able to unite as Americans against every enemy, despite our own internal differences and struggles. Black and white, Jew and Gentile, have […]
Hillary Clinton’s Libyan Disgrace and Shame
The National Interest’s Charles R. Kubic recounts Hillary Clinton’s “What Difference Does It Make.” Before the revolution, Libya was a secure, prospering, secular Islamic country and a critical ally providing intelligence on terrorist activity post–September 11, 2001. Qaddafi was no longer a threat to the United States. Yet Secretary of State Hillary Clinton strongly advocated […]
Obama Hostage to Political Correctness
The Wall Street Journal suggests that Obama may be handing Donald Trump “his strongest argument.” Mr. Obama’s refusal to acknowledge the real nature of the Islamist threat creates an opening for Mr. Trump’s immigration ban.

“The Orlando massacre,” writes Ayaan Hirsi Ali, “is a hideous reminder to Americans that homophobia is an integral part of Islamic extremism.” Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a Somali-born writer, activist and founder of the AHA Foundation, which works to defend women around the world from religious and cultural oppression. You may remember her name from […]
Paul Ryan’s Lies and Misrepresentations
The American Conservative’s Daniel Larison lays out for readers the 15 years of bogus foreign policy failures of Paul Ryan and his cohorts. Just as they were on Iran, Ryan and the House GOP are stuck reciting hawkish talking points from years ago that remain just as ill-considered as they ever were. There are many […]
Politicians Hate Gold, more Reason to Love it
I found this nugget in the August 2002 issue of Richard C. Young’s Intelligence Report. Politicians Hate Gold In general, I am a fan of the gold standard. I would like to have my paper money readily and easily converted into gold any business day of the week. Politicians, of course, hate gold because of its […]
