What might the Clinton plan be for getting rid of Trump?
Clinton is not the snore that she appears to be. She’s a radical, an adept of the Hegelian doctrine of the state knowing what’s best for the individual and for the family.

Saudi Arabia Is Its Own Worst Enemy

An all-powerful leader is upset to hear from his most trusted advisors that a fellow countryman living abroad has become a dangerous opposition leader. He orders him to be killed, sending an unmistakable message to anyone who might challenge his rule. But the murder backfires horribly w... more »

In the president’s own words: “Well, the prince is running things over there more so at this stage. He’s running things and so if anybody were going to be [responsible for the murder], it would be him.” The assassination in th... more »

Lasting Lessons From “The Anbar Awakening” Interview with Carter Malkasian, Author of Illusions of Victory
The conventional American wisdom on the Anbar Awakening was that it was a turning point in the war in Iraq. When a few tribes in central Anbar decided to rise up against the insurgency in 2006 it eventually expanded across the province, and was duplicated by the Americans during the Surge in 2007. It was such a success that the U.S. attempted to replicate it in Afghanistan. In effect this became a mythos of a tribal revolt. It held such sway that when the insurgency made a return in Iraq in 2014 with the Islamic State there were people in the U.S. calling for arming the tribes. Ca... more »

Foreign Election Interference in the Founding Era
*Introduction* Though unparalleled in scope, means and effect, Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. election is not without historical precedent. Meddling in American elections goes as far back as the country’s first contested presidential election. Though little-remembered today, in 1796, a French agent released private information to the public to try and sway the election in favor of Thomas Jefferson. As one federalist put it: “In short there never was so barefaced and disgraceful an interference of a foreign power in any free country.” The strategic similarity between this i... more »

What Democrats *are* pissed off about are children in cages (Trump's family operation policy), Russian interference with the election and... Trump himself. And this anger is exp...more »
