Is America Headed for War with Iran?
After some recent bellicose statements from elder statesman Newt Gingrich, Pat Buchanan is worried that America may be headed to another pointless war in the Middle East.

Vladimir Putin—America’s Puppet Master?

Trump Finally Picks an Ambassador to Russia
After a rocky relationship going back to the 2012 presidential election, in which Trump called him weak and a “lightweight,” Jon Huntsman Jr. has been chosen by President Trump as the next ambassador to Russia.

Is Russia Really an Enemy?
Pat Buchanan examines the idea of whether or not Russia is an enemy. Despite heated rhetoric and frequently different viewpoints, Pat calls Sen. Tim Kaine’s labeling of Donald Trump Jr.’s contact with a Russian as “treason” a step too far. Treason is helping an enemy in time of war, but are we really at war […]
The Vacuity of the G-20
With another G-20 come and gone, what in the world has changed? Here’s what the summit did not accomplish: No change in trade policy. No change in environmental policies.
