Reprinted from John’s Substack: On 14 January 2026, I was on the “Deep Dive” with Lt. Col. (ret.) Danny Davis talking mainly about the central role of Israel and the US in causing and fueling the protests in Iran. I noted that their goal is simply not regime change, but also to break apart Iran, […]

On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report: What at first seemed like a whimsical or even humorous claim has now taken a more sinister turn. President Trump has demanded that Greenland come under control of the US government or the Russians or Chinese will take if over. Will the US invade? Purchase? Lease? Reprinted from The […]

“Ask yourself whether you are willing to kill in an unjust war, whether decrees from the US government can provide sufficient moral justification for you to slaughter folks in Afghanistan or Nicaragua (in my day), or anywhere, and whether being called a coward is more frightening than selling your soul, so to speak. For me […]

Hal Brands makes a bizarre comment in a bad column about a possible attack on Iran: Helping Iranian protesters prevail would show that the pursuit of nuclear weapons endangers rather than strengthens rogue regimes. Bombing Iran in response to a crackdown on protesters shows nothing of the kind. The Iranian government isn’t pursuing nuclear weapons […]

On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report: President Trump has pledged to use force against the Iranian government if he decides that too many protesters in that country have been killed. Is it a realistic threat? Will he launch yet another regime change operation in just the first month of the year? Also today, US oil […]

Reprinted from John’s Substack:  On 8 January 2025, I was on “Judging Freedom” talking with the Judge mainly about Venezuela and how it fits into Trumpian foreign policy. I made the argument that this is not a case of regime change — as all the US did was remove the president and replace him with […]

“We used them for a couple of years and trained them to think nothing at all of killing or of being killed.”  That overlooked sentence from Smedley Butler’s exposé – “War Is a Racket” – hints at the racket’s components, for every successful racket must have beneficiaries who are far outnumbered by the victims.  The […]

Reprinted from John’s Substack:  On 6 January 2025, the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft hosted a panel discussion dealing with the Trump administration’s irresponsible statecraft in Venezuela.

Reprinted from The Realist Review: When it comes to fictional depictions of a post-nuclear future, Nevil Shute’s 1957 classic novel On the Beach arguably popularized the trend. The story showed the extinction of the human race from a globally omnipresent and ever spreading radiation. In later years, the made-for-television movies Threads and The Day After […]
