POTUS is making a case American business has spent decades refusing to make.
The lobbying to bring back Russian gas is back. Faster electrification is the answer
The Iran war is reviving Russia's revenues—and Europe's gas-back lobbying. Both should be refused.
Kyiv Security Forum agreed Russia’s threat is existential. It did not discuss how to defeat Moscow.
The reason was the elephant the Forum could not name: an America that no longer behaves like an ally.
24 February 2022 was the West’s chance. It chose comfort instead.
The West had a duty. It lacked the civilizational stamina to honor it.
Save all living things: Europe’s 20th sanctions package still spares Russia’s nuclear war machine
The EU has sanctioned almost everything Moscow touches—except the one company running an occupied nuclear plant and building parts for Russian missiles.
Russia spent 20 years hardening Ukraine by accident. Europe won’t get that gift.

Ukraine’s last friend in the Trump regime just walked away
Marco Rubio was supposed to be the exception—the adult in the room who understood how dangerous Putin is. But Marco has changed his mind. Ukraine and Europe should take note—because the guardrails are gone.
I defended NATO’s values. I no longer recognize what NATO defends.
The Alliance's founding documents haven't changed. Its founding nation has.
Security guarantees without NATO: Are they worth the paper they’re written on?
Western promises won’t stop a second invasion. Ukraine’s army might.
Iran threatened to close Hormuz. That was enough.
When a strait closes on paper, prices move as if it has closed for real.
Forget easing Russian sanctions. Europe should be boarding Russian tankers.
Wagner veterans ride Russia's oil tankers through NATO waters. The cargo could fill Europe's reserves. Nobody stops them.
Western technology is powering one of Russia’s most terrifying weapons—and it must be stopped
Texas Instruments. Intel. Taoglas. All found in Russian bomb debris.
Russia spent three years trying to break Western support for Ukraine—then Iran did it in a week
The Iran war’s first casualty may be the world’s attention to Ukraine.
Washington walked into a quagmire in Iran. That’s bad news for Ukraine.
The same strategic amateurism that plagues Ukraine policy just produced an undefined war with Iran
Anne Applebaum wrote the book on autocracy. Then she thanked a sanctioned oligarch at his Oxford school.
She attacks Trump's envoy for his Russia ties—without mentioning he's business partners with the man she thanked at Oxford.
