The storied former Marine general turned Defense Secretary began by emphasizing something that has been a common trend […]
A new law banning the wearing of Muslim headscarves will go into effect this Sunday in Austria. The law also bans other non-religious items, such as medical face masks and clown face paint, except under specific circumstances. The law affects the wear of these items in public, to include schools and public transportation. Austria is […]
EVERY time a European city is shaken by an act of mass violence, the continent’s heavy-weight newspapers host agonised debates over what has gone wrong. In particular, debaters often ask, should European states have responded differently to the emergence of large, discontented Muslim minorities, either by accommodating cultural difference more generously or (as some advocate) by suppressing it? Even when it becomes clear that Islam was not […]
British police on Tuesday arrested a third suspect over the bombing of a packed London Underground train that injured 30 people last week.

Many US leftists are promoting Europe as a place of racial harmony and joy, where people are not racists and everybody runs through the fields happily singing kumbaya. Well that is a big fat lie. Whatever ancestral ties the US might have with Europe, and although we see ourselves as a cultural entity, the so-called […]
Until recently, the shores of Zawiya, west of Tripoli, were the crossroads for much of Libya’s human trafficking. But over the last few weeks, such trade has come to a standstill. Arrivals to Italy from North Africa have declined by more than half from last year’s figures, with Reuters reporting on Monday that an armed group was […]
U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis visited Ukraine on Thursday, and used that opportunity to reaffirm that the United States would continue to support the nation against Russian aggression. Mattis first attended the Ukranian Independence Day Parade in Kiev, before attending meetings with his Ukrainian counterpart, Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak, as well as President Petro […]
The world is an awfully big place, which is why I believe the myth of the well-traveled statesman can be a dangerous one. That is, in part, why when I’m asked how many countries I’ve been to, I tend to shrug. I’ve certainly set foot in more countries than I think I have a rightful […]
A new and nefarious connection between criminal networks and jihadi groups is potentially emerging across the Mediterranean, according to Italian police. Authorities in Rome are investigating links between the country’s mafia criminal organizations and the Islamic State militant group (ISIS), suspecting them of possibly working together to smuggle oil into Europe. The police force has discovered quantities of […]
The United States and its NATO allies have continually ramped up the military presence along Europe’s Eastern Flank since Russia’s military annexation of Crimea in 2014.
