Deport the neocons

Seriously, what American gives a damn what these morally bankrupt morons think? The neocons who led the George W. Bush administration into Iraq are now touting a fresh crusade to save American democracy — and the Republican Party — from an authoritarian foe: Donald J. Trump. Their campaign began with an impassioned essay in The […]

Donald Trump: democratic socialist

As I said before, Sarah’s take on these things is always amusing: The blogger has never understood the difference between European right and American right.  Not stupid but strangely culturally blind — and COMPLETELY misunderstood it. I mean, amazingly, bizarrely misunderstood. What I find funny about this is that Sarah goes on and on and […]

Why Boris is Leave

The Mayor of London explains his reasoning in The Telegraph, and for someone who reportedly vacillated on the matter, it is a surprisingly powerful and comprehensive case: I am a European. I lived many years in Brussels. I rather love the old place. And so I resent the way we continually confuse Europe – the […]

Thunder of the North

As students of military history know, large-scale military exercises are often used to mask the mobilizations that precede an invasion.

On loyalties, divided and whole

What is reprehensible is not the suggestion that Jews living in America might have divided loyalties. That is arguably the best case scenario.

But it […]

Bild quoted a senior police officer in Frankfurt as saying it was standard policy to keep offences by asylum-seekers from the media. “There are strict orders from the chiefs not to report offences by refugees,” the unnamed officer said. “We are only […]

Recognize!

The PFT Poet sums up a sterling end to the 2015 NFL Regular Season, with the Vikings back in their rightful position atop the NFC North and AD in possession of his third NFL rushing title. The Historic Minnesota Vikings Dynasty officially began on this day. Oh glorious, historic Minnesota Vikings. We have the best […]

The US is supporting ISIS

The document trail, the lame explanations, the reports of CIA involvement, the behavior of allies, the declassified documents, and the eyewitness evidence in Iraq all tell the same story: On the front lines of the battle against the Islamic State, suspicion of the United States runs deep. Iraqi fighters say they have all seen the […]

4th Generation Warfare Handbook

Written by the author of the landmark Maneuver Warfare Handbook and an active-duty USMC officer with experience in Iraq, 4th Generation Warfare Handbook is the doctrine for a new generation of war. Over the last 40 years, the world has gradually entered into a post-Clausewitzian state where the wars are undeclared, the battlefields can be […]
