Elizabeth Warren and Democratic Socialism

December 15, 2018

Perhaps Trump wanted to build a tower in Moscow so he could escape New York’s building regulations. If you want a good deal, pay Vladimir Putin to grant you a charter to do business in Russia. You can be one of his oligarchs.

Play the position on the board

December 3, 2017

Play the position on the board. Find the best move. If you lose the current game, you can set up the pieces and play again. Many players have won when they thought they might lose, if they just find the best move at each turn.

Gladiator

November 11, 2017

The part of Trump’s presidency I like the best is his feud with the intelligence community. It’s fun to see …

Why did Hillary Clinton lose the election?

June 1, 2017

We will have to see what Mueller’s investigation actually produces. Meanwhile, I’m happy to say, theories about shady people who conspire to do bad things are back in vogue right now.

Easiest job in the world: watch American foreign policy undermine itself

February 25, 2017

Washington’s elites damaged their credibility and prestige on the world stage long before Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, and Vladimir Putin came along to try their hand at it.

Donald Trump suggests U. S. intelligence services behave like Russia’s intelligence services

February 5, 2017

The president declares, “Of course our intelligence agencies assassinate people they regard as enemies of the state. Of course our leaders lie to justify attacks on foreign nations.

Putin’s trophy

January 7, 2017

The lesson is simple – one that applies to politics, business, and Super Bowl rings – don’t deal with people you don’t trust. Don’t deal with weak people who need to demonstrate their strength.

United States foreign policy at year’s end

December 30, 2016

Mainstream media articles about U. S foreign policy as the year draws to a close come fast and perhaps more furious than we expected as we prepare for New Year’s.

What do we do now in Syria?

October 1, 2016

The world watches as Assad and Putin destroy Aleppo. Only a few years ago, western leaders hoped resistance organized from Aleppo …

Stand by for a great campaign

July 29, 2016

Putin has to be smiling now, because when you have Donald Trump on your side, you are going places. I wonder if Putin thinks he’ll be able to domesticate The Donald after he’s in the White House? Which alpha will rule? Even more importantly, what nickname will Trump choose for his buddy Vlad? I hope Trump likes vodka, and Putin likes Manhattans.

Do we want to assign blame for the civil war in Ukraine?

January 2, 2016

Putin was a ruthless opponent before we sallied into Ukraine’s politics, and he remains one now. His effectiveness in showing the United States what happens when you blunder in the game of international politics, especially when you blunder in Eastern Europe, does not make Putin a sympathetic character. The anti-Washington left in the United States need not feel sorry for him, or suggest that his actions are justified in light of the wrongs we have committed against him.

What part of the world needs Washington’s leadership?

December 29, 2015

Like both Presidents Bush and Obama, Clinton cannot imagine a world in which the United States is not a global …
