Iran’s Response To Coordinated Aggression: Strategic Resilience Against Deception And Force

Rogue States And Thought Crimes: Israel Strikes Iran
Pre-emptive attacks in international law are rarely justified.

The Morality Of Small Means: Sanctioning Israel’s Ministers
They really ought to be doing more. But in the scheme of things, the sanctioning of Israeli’s frothily fanatical ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich by New Zealand, Canada, Norway, the United Kingdom and Australia is a reminder to the Israeli government that ethnic cleansing, mass killing and the destruction […]

The LA Unrest Poses A Pressing National Security Threat To The US
This is because it concerns the country’s second-largest city, could disrupt one of its top economic hubs, and might evolve into an irredentist campaign by Mexican nationalists and their US leftist allies.
