Psychoanalysing NATO: The Diagnosis
NATO and its members are inexhaustible sources of wooden language and dishonesty. Take Washington's demand that Iran get out of Syria while US forces stay there.

By James Bovard | December 20, 2018 The Washington Post front page today is in full panic mode over Trump’s decision on Syria. Reading the Post, one would think that US intervention had achieved something aside from getting vast numbers of Syrians pointlessly killed. Washington’s laptop bombardiers are hysterically opposed to Trump’s withdrawal of US […]

by NoahResponding to the massive snark that greeted his spray-on hair over the weekend, Trump aide Stephen Miller is trying some new approaches. As a service to the White House's loneliest white supremacist, I hear that his fellow Trump staffers are soliciting votes from the public as to which look Miller should go with. There are other choices as well and you should feel free to come up with your own.
(CJ Opinion) — President Trump has ordered the withdrawal of US troops from Syria, which is reportedly expected to take 60–100 days or 30 days depending on who you ask. According to Kurdish forces in eastern Syria the withdrawal of American as well as French troops is already underway, though France is saying it’s staying. The number of troops to be withdrawn which keeps […]
Almost everyone seems to believe that our energy problems are primarily oil-related. Electricity will save us. I recently gave a talk to a group of IEEE electricity researchers (primarily engineers) about the current energy situation and how welcoming it is for new technologies. Needless to say, this group did not come with the standard mindset. They wanted to understand what the[Read More...]

Identity is a concept for understanding and learning about social conflicts. The issue of Muslim identity in the Kashmir conflict became a concern, thereby turning potentially negotiable issues into intractable conflicts centered on conflicting groups’ self-image and religion. A stalemate has followed because of the perception that the identity of a Kashmiri Muslim is non-negotiable. Identities are complex, historically bound[Read More...]

Le texte de Jacques Cotta, que je conseille à tous de lire[1], est une réflexion sur la nature des Gilets Jaunes et de leur mouvement. Il lance un débat important, débat auquel ce présent texte se veut à son tour une contribution. On n’insistera pas sur les implications du mouvement ni sur les réactions des uns et des autres. On veut ici présenter quelques premières réflexions sur les conséquences de ce mouvement. Car, ce mouvement fait naître de très nombreux fantasmes, tant à droite qu’à gauche.

Will Trump Hold Firm on Syrian Pullout? "We have defeated ISIS in Syria, my only reason for being there," wrote President Donald Trump, as he ordered the withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Syria, stunning the U.S. foreign policy establishment. Trump overruled his secretaries of state and defense, and jolted this city and capitals across … Continue reading "Will Trump Hold Firm on Syrian Pullout?"
In his war against humanity, Señor Trumpanzee took some fire yesterday from his own side. On Fox and Fiends a neo-Nazi pundit, Michelle Malkin, who is known on the far right fringes, said "Well, I’m not going to sugarcoat it. I’m not going to spin it. I wish I could but I can’t. This is a cave. This was a blink." She was talking about Trump backing down from shutting the government after he was told he isn't getting any money for the wall the American Nazis want to build.
(ZHE) — CNN warns that US officials are bracing themselves for Trump’s announcement on Afghanistan after his bombshell Syria troop pullout announcement on Wednesday. Trump has now initiated “a major drawdown” of forces in Afghanistan, and while inside the beltway neocon heads might continue to explode, the broader public for which the seventeen year long Afghan war is deeply unpopular will no doubt […]
(MEE) — Republican and Democratic lawmakers and journalists expressed bewilderment on Thursday night at the tone of US Secretary of Defense James Mattis’s resignation letter.

The defining question about global order for this generation is whether China and the United States can escape Thucydides’s Trap. The Greek historian’s metaphor reminds us of the attendant dangers when a rising power rivals a ruling power—as Athens challenged Sparta in ancient Greece, or as Germany did Britain a century ago. Most such contests have ended badly, often for both nations, a team of mine at the Harvard Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs has concluded after analyzing the historical record.
The warmongering Left has joined forces with the neocons to demand that President Trump reverse course in his recent decision to pull US troops from Syria. Neocons claim that ISIS will increase with the US absence, but it was the very US intervention in the region – that they supported – that led to the rise of extremist and terrorist groups. Meanwhile, some principled progressives are putting politics aside to praise the president’s move. More on the war over war in Washington in today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:
