Hillary’s secrecy and the unknowns that surround her have me concerned about more than her pneumonia. I don’t think there’s a grand conspiracy at play with her health. But there is something there. It’s a lack of trust and dialogue between us, the people, and Hillary Clinton (and her team). She and her team might […]

As Americans, our reason for being, externally, is to spread the good news of our democratic revolution. In that, we are aligned with France and the West. There’s some wisdom in the ideas of Rand Paul and other isolationists, I think. But only in certain respects. I agree that regime change as a policy is […]

North Korea is convinced a nuclear arsenal is their only protection against an attempt at regime change by the U.S. This is an unstable proposition. North Korea’s leaders feed dissenters to dogs — killed a man for not clapping and another for being “sleepy.”

Trump has already stated that our military is in terrible shape. It’s “very bad,” he’s hearing. Trump stated he knows more than the generals, a statement he backpedaled on during the IAVA forum. He seems to live and die by what he feels at the moment. Trump’s campaign staff have been shuffled. It’s not normal […]

Damascus has remained relatively untouched by the country’s insurgents. Its defense is rooted in Assad’s strategy, but aided by our uncoordinated policy. Syria is unique because its center of gravity is not the people. Iraq ultimately failed in part due to our failure to capture the support of the people. We ignored the Sunnis in Fallujah and expelled […]

As some Western companies are beginning to set up shop in Southeast Asia and encourage some companies to leave Eastern China and do business in other countries, such as Myanmar (formerly Burma).

It’s not a matter of the Taliban learning their lesson. The Taliban has changed and the same original fighters do not comprise the bulk of the force. This is a question of what do they have to lose? Do they want revenge?

Gary Johnson embraces his humanity and apologizes for a damaging gaffe on “Morning Joe” when asked about Aleppo, Syria. It’s a heartfelt statement, but the damage is done. Gary Johnson by all counts seems to be a good and decent man. He is not a foreign policy wonk. He’s not a policy wonk at all. But […]

Americans were celebrating everywhere when Osama bin Laden was killed. But al-Qaeda continued to be a threat, and the average person doesn’t care or know it. Who were these people partying in front of the White House? Terrorist organizations in Africa and the Middle East were growing. The death of bin Laden was more therapeutic […]

It’s an open secret that the Rebels receive Toyota trucks. It’s en vogue to blame the U.S. and other Western forces for training the would-be terrorist groups. This gives extremely high praise to the training and the resources they receive. Why would any force knowingly train a force to be very effective against their interests?

It’s no secret that Hillary Clinton and Vladimir Putin do not like one another. She has always known Putin to be the one to watch. That was evident when she couldn’t remember then-President Dmitri Medvedev’s name correctly. Because she knew that Putin still had the strongest hand in Russia. She followed the gaffe with “whatever.” Then-Secretary […]

Cyber attacks on a decaying government IT system have already occurred and will continue to do so until we address our IT weaknesses.
