From Farmer Strikes to Fighter Jets: Meet NATO’s New Boss, Mark Rutte
Hey, remember that wild farmer strike in the Netherlands a couple years back? The one where thousands of angry Dutch farmers rolled their tractors onto highways, blocked airports, and sprayed manure at government buildings because the government wanted to shut down half their farms to “save the environment”? Well — guess who was running that …
Christians Cannot Hate Judaism Without Hating Themselves
You know, this really pisses me off. No, not Vice President J D Vance visiting the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, a place where I have been and found amazing and inspiring, but the utterly asinine comments of (supposedly) good Americans, some of whom even profess to be Christians. I have seen several …
Off the radar; The real genocide is not taking place in Gaza, but in Nigeria
In the longstanding and brutal ledger of religious persecution, Nigeria now occupies its own grim chapter with its enduring pogrom against Christians. Nigeria is the largest populated nation on the African continent and has become the crucible of suffering for its Christian minority.
All we are saying, is give Trump a chance; Trump is mixing The Art of War with The Art of the Deal.
There he goes, making peace again. Donald Trump cannot help himself. He just has to shut down another perfectly good opportunity for World War 3.
The War That Never Was”–An alternative history grounded in the real NATO, Part III
In February 2014, while Western leaders debated sanctions over Ukrainian protests, unmarked soldiers began seizing airfields and government buildings in Crimea. No insignia, no declarations, just discipline and precision — “little green men.”
The War That Never Was”–An alternative history grounded in the real NATO, Part II
For a decade, Europe’s generals had lived in a post-Soviet afterglow, studying maps of Kaliningrad, the Suwałki Gap, and the Carpathians. Russia was weak, its army hollow, its population declining.
Of course it’s God’s will; Ending the FAFO War is only the beginning of world peace.
n his second presidency, Trump wants to bequeath a world that has no wars. That’s a tough order and some would say is an impossible mission. We shall see.
The War That Never Was”–An alternative history grounded in the real NATO, Part I
An alternative history built from the true Balkans laboratory that almost ignited something far larger.
The pro-Palestinian demonstrators would never see the evil of Hamas, no matter how much evidence was presented to them
So very, very many of the pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian demonstrators were decrying ‘genocide’ of the ‘Palestinians’ by Israel in the two-year-long war. They published all sorts of photos of places before-and-after the war. The same could have been done concerning Berlin and Dresden and Tokyo and Yokohama, because that’s what it takes to win wars. The …
Trump And The Nobel Prize
President Donald Trump did not win the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. if course, given the cognitive dissonance rampant today, that was not entirely unexpected.
NATO: The Next World War Won’t Start with a Bang — It Already Started with a Treaty
George Washington warned us 230 years ago to “steer clear of entangling alliances.” We didn’t listen. Europe didn’t either in 1914 — and one royal assassination later, the whole continent lit itself on fire.

Trump earned the Nobel before Gaza; Gazans join Israelis in chanting Trump’s name over cease-fire: ‘Nobel Prize to Trump!’
Norway announced its recipient of the Nobel Prize yesterday. As peace broke out in the Middle East, the New York Post reported, “Gazans join Israelis in chanting Trump’s name over cease-fire: ‘Nobel Prize to Trump!’” President Donald John Trump earned the prize long before he ended the FAFO War that Palestinians began two years ago.
The Iranian–American Parallel: A Call for Constitutional Renewal
In the 1960s and 1970s, every major city in Iran had an Iran-America Society — a place where American military personnel taught English during the day, and in the evenings the halls came alive with music, parties, bingos, and sports.
Immigration with Chinese Characteristics; So much for “opening China to the world”
China has restrictive laws affecting migrants and immigrants that are administered and enforced by multiple bureaucracies.
No Genocide in Gaza
Gaza has returned to the front page of the news due to potential military and political actions as the war nears its end, raising questions about what should be done with Gaza. I’ve been striving to clarify certain misunderstandings that have surfaced and continue to do so.
War as a Racket, and Why General Odierno Was Right
For a brief period of time, I had the honor of serving under General Raymond T. Odierno in Iraq. He was, without question, one of the finest officers I ever worked for—sharp, grounded, and with a great sense of humor that managed to shine through even in the worst of times.
The Department of War Is Back — And About Time
I entered the Army in July of 1993, before President Clinton’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” experiment. Back then, the military was still primarily about blowing holes in things, breaking enemy armies, and defending the Republic. Then slowly, like a frog in a pot, the Pentagon began feeding the social science laboratory every “good idea” — except the good ideas about how to win wars.
