After decades of stalemate, North and South Korea seem closer to declaring an end to the stalled Korean War than ever before. Without the prodding of President Donald Trump, and his openness to direct talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, it seems unlikely that this would be the situation. Trump has proven that he […]
Jon Basil Utley on Unnecessary Middle East Interventions
Writing at The American Conservative, my friend Jon Basil Utley, the magazine’s publisher, explains to readers the unreliable intelligence that has gotten America into overseas quagmires, and the unintended consequences those wars have wrought.

Rand Paul Disappointing on Pompeo Confirmation Reversal
Where is the evidence that Mike Pompeo agrees with even Donald Trump’s rhetoric on Syria and Afghanistan?

Chris Preble: Empower Mature, Like-Minded States

Central Asia: Russia in Worse Shape than is America
The former head of the CIA’s bin Laden unit, Michael Scheuer, tells readers of his blog, non-intervention.com, that despite America’s reckless actions in the Middle East, which have bled the U.S. of men and treasure, Russia is in even worse shape. With the rise of ISIS cells in Northern Afghanistan, threatening Russia’s soft central-Asian underbelly, […]
