Does the government work for us, or do we work for the government? Can the government morally steal data about allies and enemies and then make it a crime to reveal that data, even when the revelation shows that the government has been lying about killing? What to do about high-ranking government officials who lie about war? When the First Amendment states that “Congress shall make no law abridging … the freedom of speech,” does it really mean NO LAW?

Report: South Korea to ‘Lend’ 500,000 Artillery Shells to US

South Korea has agreed to “lend” the US 500,000 155mm artillery shells, the South Korean newspaper DongA Ilbo reported on Wednesday. The report said the US and South Korea agreed on the deal in March, but there’s been no public confirmation from either side. The reason to lend the shells instead of selling them is that Seoul wants to minimize the chance they end up in Ukraine due to South Korea’s policy of not sending arms into conflict zones.

The War Machine Keeps Turning

The war in Ukraine continues without mercy. Like every war in my lifetime (and like almost very war in history), the day-to-day media coverage of the conflict is a barely concealed combination of lies, exaggerations and nationalist propaganda. Beyond this are discussions of the weaponry and projections of their efficiency in killing humans and destroying their habitat. This is true no matter if one is consuming western media or Russian media. Of course, there are varying levels of censorship involved in each nation’s media, as well. For example, no major mainstream media outlet in the United States seems willing to allow any calls for an end to arms shipments or even negotiations. In ...

“It is time,” President Biden announced in April 2021, “to end the forever war” that started with the invasion of Afghanistan soon after the tragic terror attacks on this country on September 11, 2001. Indeed, that August, amid chaos and disaster, the president did finally pull the last remaining U.S. forces out of that country. A year and a half later, it’s worth reflecting on where the United States stands when it comes to both that forever war against terrorism and war generally. As it happens, the war on terror is anything but ended, even if it’s been overshadowed by the war in Ukraine and simmering conflicts around the globe, all too often involving the ...

A Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) assessment that has been leaked online says that the US expects the war in Ukraine to go into 2024 without any peace talks between the warring sides, The Washington Post reported Wednesday. “Negotiations to end the conflict are unlikely during 2023 in all considered scenarios,” the DIA analysis reads. The document says even if Ukraine regains a “significant” amount of territory from Russia and “unsustainable losses on Russian forces,” it would not lead to peace talks. Click for Full Text!

Amid Biden administration admissions this week that China collected data on U.S. military sites from its spy balloon, Gordon Chang warned on Newsmax this is a "really serious" sign of "utter disrespect" for President Joe Biden. "This showed the utter disrespect that China has for the Biden administration and for America," Chang told Saturday's "Wake Up America." "It's not only this electronic intelligence that China got from this. It was something even more important, Lidia, and that was they saw the reaction of specific commands and specific general officers to this intrusion into the American airspace. And this was a debacle." ...

The B61 nuclear bombs – in Italy they are located in the bases of Aviano and Ghedi – have now been replaced by the new B61-12, and the US Air Force is already transporting them to Europe.

My title is a “yes” or “no” question. But instead of coming out and answering “yes” or “no,” an increasing number of people—liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans—are climbing on the fence and saying “yes, but” or “no, but.” Let me say it as firmly, as loudly, and as resolutely as I can: Absolutely no, not under any circumstances should the United States go to war with China over Taiwan.

Why Are We Still In Syria?

The sun never sets on an American battlefield, it would seem. At least not in Syria, where U.S. forces again came under fire from militias allied with Iran, killing one American and injuring several others. The Biden administration launched a retaliatory strike on Iranian bases in Syria, triggering another round of attacks. The Syrian civil war has ebbed, with President Bashar al-Assad emerging victorious. At least, he is almost the last combatant still standing, relying on assistance from both Russian and Iranian forces. He controls roughly two thirds of his country, its cities wrecked and people impoverished. Hundreds of thousands of Syrians are dead. Click for Full Text!
