Watch closely. The Administration may seek to get in bed with the dangerous Iranian cult MEK. The MEK was tied to Saddam Hussein and was on the US terrorist list. Rudy Giuliani, Louis Freeh, Newt Gingrich and others supported and took money from them to get them off the list. Bad bedfellows!

Opinion | Why U.S. military officers need to go to Harvard. And Columbia. And … The civil-military-academic ecosystem is the foundation of American geopolitical power.

β€œAt a time when the Pentagon warns about competition with China, voluntarily pulling U.S. military officers out of the world’s most important research and policy institutions is not a show of strength. It is a strategic retreat.”

Putin’s Lies Hide Weakness Russia has thrived on lies for centuries; its undoing will come when truth proves more powerful than the fictions it desperately spins

Opinion | Putin is failing. These charts prove it. Data from the battlefield show Ukraine is holding its own.

β€œUkrainian defense is proving to be durable and it’s the Russian offensive that’s struggling. The way to end this war is not to rescue Putin from a failing campaign, but to help Ukraine make it fail faster.”
