Will Chaos Result In Anarchy In The U.K.?
In 1834 William IV, a far right extremist-- who had once been the loudest voice against abolishing slavery-- fired Lord Melbourne, a Whig, as prime minister. That was the last time a British monarch fired a head of government. William was also the last member of the House of Hanover and the last British monarch to serve as king of Hanover. When he died 3 years after appointing-- despite the will of Parliament-- Sir Robert Peel, a Tory, as prime minister, he was survived by 8 illegitimate children he had had with his mistress, actress/former prostitute Dorothea Jordan.

Canadian Federal Election Debate Analysis - And a Notice to Readers
*Canadian Federal Political Party Leaders* I watched the entire two-hour debate this evening and, honestly, instead of analysing the interaction between the leaders...I think I should go into psychoanalysis as a Canadian just to have submitted myself to that. It was depressing in the extreme to think that one of the two front runners, either Trudeau or Scheer, is going to be the next Prime Minister. Both of them are woefully unfit for office. Most importantly, I do not trust either of them as far as I could throw them. Elizabeth May did better this time out than she did in the f... more »

Iran's Missiles Would Be a Real Problem During a War
*David Axe* *Security, Middle East* [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/IRAN-GULF-MISSILE-GM1E8121TGC01.html] Bad for U.S. bases and aircraft carriers. *Key Point*: Tehran's missiles just keep getting better and they could be used to great devastation if Iran felt it had to use them. Iran is continuing to develop increasingly long-range ballistic missiles -- and is firing some shorter-range missiles in combat -- despite demands from the U.S. government that the Islamic republic totally give up any weapons that could, in theory, carry a nuclear warhead.

How America's A-10 Warthogs Will Destroy Iran's Navy in a War
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, Middle East* Small attack boats are no match. *Key Point*: A-10s are anti-tank planes but they also have a great anti-ship role. It doesn’t necessarily take the resources of a major nation-state to challenge U.S. Navy warships. China for instance is building up a large navy and invests in long-range, ship-killing missiles. Iran can’t build a large navy but it does invest in swarms of small missile boats. Like a swarm of insects, a swarm of boats can pose a threat as a larger, far more expensive warship might not be able to swat them all — and a sin... more »

A Bird's-eye View of Modern Movements
Here are some troubling facts: The liberals don’t stand for liberty; they are a bunch of control-freaks and totalitarians. The conservatives are unintellectual, weak, and pompous; in the long run, they prove incapable of conserving the economy and culture of their nation. The libertarians are a tiny 100 year old cult led by pontifical academics; they hold an idealistic and unworkable view of liberty, and many of them are out of touch with reality. The anarchists (anarcho-libertarians) assert that they stand for a state-less society (whatever that means), but in their eagerness to ov... more »

The True Cost of the Attack on Saudi Arabia's Oil Supply
*Mohammed Ayoob* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Saudi Arabia has been the kingpin of American strategy toward Iran. Any loosening of Washington’s ties with Riyadh is bound to redound to Tehran’s benefit.

This daring attack was claimed by the Houthis of Yemen but blamed on Iran by Saudi Arabia and the United States brought the Middle East to the brink of war.

Well, just what the hell do they expect?
So President Trump, after a long conversation with President Erdogan of Turkey, decided to pull US troops back from the area of Syria where Turkey wants to establish a "buffer zone" or "neutral zone". In doing so, it *may* expose some elements of Kurdish forces - *elements already recognized by the USA as terrorists* - to Turkish retaliation or aggression or whatever you want to call it. Now, neocons and other right-wing voices are raised in righteous condemnation, calling President Trump's decision a "betrayal" or a "mistake" or a "blunder" or whatever. *Just what the hell did ... more »

D-LIST RIGHT-WING SITE PUBLISHES TRUMP ASSASSINATION PORN
I wade through a lot of right-wing sludge in my effort to inform and entertain you, but I usually give a pass to the D-list site American Thinker. However, this Thinker post, from regular contributor J.R. Dunn, caught my eye. As the headline notes, Dunn is fantasizing about a Trump assassination attempt -- not because he's a murderous Never Trumper, but because he hates Trump opponents so much he really, really wants to believe one of us will take a shot at the president, so he can hate us even more. *The Left's last card* Emoluments, Stormy Daniels, Russia collusion, the Mueller re... more »
Turks, The O'Bamas, and the Weather (again)
*Turks are Bad Neighbors* Turkey sent it's army across the Syrian border to do a little more ethnic cleansing. It's what the Turks do and the Kurds are presumably ready for it. It's not as if the Turks haven't been threatening it for at least two years. And they've been invading off and on for centuries. As I've said before, and some of you disagree, "it's not our fight." Taking casualties in Syria, a Russian ally, in the political melange amid a civil war is not something that we should involve ourselves in. If Hillary was president, we'd have 100,000 troops in Syria being attacked... more »

Turkey Redraws The Map Of The Syrian War Again
Reuters: *Explainer: Turkey set to redraw map of Syrian war once more* ISTANBUL/BEIRUT (Reuters) - A looming Turkish incursion into northern Syria is set to reshape the map of the Syrian conflict once again, dealing a blow to Kurdish-led forces that have battled Islamic State while widening Turkey’s territorial control at the border. This would be Turkey’s third such incursion since 2016. Motivated largely by the aim of containing Syrian Kurdish power, Turkey already has troops on the ground across an arc of northwestern Syria, the last stronghold of anti-Damascus rebels. *Read... more »
