• Suing the USA for 70 Years of Interventionism | Ali Borhani

  Ali Borhani contends that U.S. domestic litigiousness contrasts sharply with its near‑impunity for decades of foreign interventions. Tracing interventions from 1953 Iran through Latin America and the Middle East, he argues these operations impose long‑term political, environmental and mental‑health

• Russia's Endgame for Ukraine Shocks NATO | Dr. Nicolai Petro

  Nicolai Petro contends that the decisive constraint in the Ukraine war is fiscal, not solely military prowess. He highlights a looming financing gap—tens of billions annually—that Western donors, especially an overstretched Europe, are unlikely to fill, risking Ukrainian insolvency by spring 2026. P

• How The Empire Of War Survives Its Victories | Prof. Phil Hammond

  At the heart of this exchange, Dr. Phil Hammond argues that the end of the Cold War produced an “enemy deprivation syndrome” that left Western elites searching for purpose. He traces how that search reshaped media, policy, and military practice: Cold War bipolarity collapses into a post‑ideological

• Europe's Professors of Propaganda | Thomas Fazi
• Regime Change By Decapitation: The US Is On Venezuela Again | Stas Krapivnik

  Stanislav Krapivnik contends that recent U.S. military pressure around Venezuela reflects classic resource-driven geopolitics rather than purely humanitarian concerns. He argues Washington is motivated by Venezuela’s heavy, sour crude—critical to Gulf Coast refineries configured for such grades—and

• Japan Crosses China's Red Line on Taiwan | Dr. Joanna Lei

  Dr. Joanna Lei contends that Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s November Diet remark declaring a Chinese blockade of Taiwan could constitute a “survival‑threatening crisis” for Japan marks a significant departure from postwar strategic ambiguity. That phrase, Lei argues, revives historical mem

• CIA on the Ground: The US Prepares for War with Venezuela | Kajsa Ekis Ekman

  Kajsa Ekis Ekman argues that U.S. pressure on Venezuela is driven primarily by material oil interests and long-standing regime‑change ambitions rather than genuine humanitarian or drug‑control motives. She situates current naval deployments and lethal interdictions of fishermen within a broader hist

• They Never Wanted Peace: How US Channels Warfare Through Vassals | Evarist Bartolo

  Evarist Bartolo argues that the post‑Cold War promise of a “Common European Home” collapsed because U.S. strategy prioritized NATO and constrained European strategic autonomy, sidelining the OSCE as a genuine pan‑European security framework. Drawing on declassified documents and his ministerial expe

• German SMEs Are Secretly Fuelling The US War Machine | Dr. Stephan Ebner

  Dr. Stephan Ebner argues that a rapid post‑Ukraine shift in German mid‑sized industry is integrating the country’s "hidden champions" into the U.S. defense supply chain. Driven primarily by profit differentials—contracts in the U.S. defence market command multiple times European prices—companies pro

• Japanese Military Expert Talks Defense, Alliances, China, Ukraine and Venezuela | Koji Imaki

  Koji Imaki contends that Japan’s recent defense buildup represents pragmatic normalization rather than ideological remilitarization. Drawing on decades in the Japan Air Self‑Defense Force, he locates the shift—exemplified by the 2022 adoption of a “stand‑off defense” (counter‑strike) posture—within

• Professor EXPOSES Secret Origins Of The Israel Project | Prof. Yakov Rabkin

  At the heart of this exchange, Yakov Rabkin contends that Zionism is a modern European political movement—an ethnic nationalism transplanted to Palestine—distinct from Judaism as a religion. He traces key intellectual roots to Protestant literalist readings of the Bible and to late‑19th‑century Euro

• Ukraine Is LOST, And USA Knows It | Ray McGovern

  Ray McGovern contends that behind public theatrics lies a strategic U.S. and NATO setback in Ukraine, with back‑channel negotiations increasingly plausible as leaders seek an exit. He criticizes Trump’s high‑profile confrontations with military leaders as testing officers’ oath to the Constitution a
