In the latest display of how low the so-called Western values in Europe have deteriorated, the EU leadership is urging the heads of this block’s states against participating in Moscow’s May 9 celebrations of the 80th anniversary of the Allied victory over Nazi Germany in WWII. At the same time, they are not inviting Russia … Continue reading “Toward a Historic Peace Summit”

The list of Trump’s team members is long, so let’s concentrate on a short list of “troika” candidates who deal with foreign affairs and national security, starting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

An Internet search shows journalist Sidney Blumenthal and historian James Chace as the first to coin the term “indispensable nation,” which is appropriate for describing the United States. This happened in 1996 during Bill Clinton’s presidency and Madeleine Albright’s term as Secretary of State. In his book The Clinton Wars, Blumenthal justified this definition since … Continue reading “Indispensable Nation or One Obsessed with Hegemony”

The end of the first Cold War in the late 80s gave Americans a unique historical chance to stop worrying about nuclear war and get a well-deserved Peace Dividend. Instead, not only they lost it, but the talk about the inevitable nuclear WW3 became a routine discussion subject in the government, public, and media circles. … Continue reading “Who Lost the Peace Dividend After the End of the Cold War?”

The war in Ukraine is about to enter its 3rd year with no signs of ending, meaning more deaths and destruction for this unfortunate country. It was provoked by those in the U.S. who decided to use Ukrainians for their geopolitical gains which is sort of innovation in military affairs contrary to the U.S. wars … Continue reading “Ukrainian Tragedy That Might Escalate Into Armaggedon”
