WORLD, FEATURED STORY

Who is the real John McCain? A credible case has been made that he almost certainly crossed the line and collaborated extensively while a prisoner in North Vietnam.

Today, the United States and its allies need to remember and relearn the wisdom of Bismarck and abandon the fatally infantile enthusiasms of Wilhelm II.

India will be on a slippery slope once it agrees to discuss with the US its defence relationship with Russia on a case-by-case basis.

Selling the world on permanent conflict with the evil Russians and ‘terrorists’ is the main way to keep selling arms around the world. That’s what NATO is at this point.

The logic of the policies and rhetoric being spewed out of the Western capitals can only drive Turkey to leaving NATO and joining the SCO.

Why would Russia want to damage an already oftentimes dysfunctional system of government? To replace it with what?

Our "values" and our "virtue" entitled us to rule the world. And so triumphalist arrogance and complacent ignorance combined with the West's monopoly of exportable brutal power.

America has radical financial leverage at this moment precisely because of the ‘strong dollar’. Make no mistake. This is not just the result of Fed hiking rates.

There are present-day elements in the US military-security apparatus that seem to be just fine about being wedded to the mayhem in Afghanistan.

Britain would be a much better place if it acknowledged that there is no threat whatever from Russia and that the billions being wasted on weapons would be better directed at improving the country’s infrastructure and social development.
