The Syrian Experiment
As I said yesterday morning, China and Russia are using Syria as a laboratory for non-intervention. With a death toll already in the thousands, the opposition shows no sign of giving up and neither does Assad’s Alawite regime. A discussion … Continue reading
Syria is an Experiment in Non-intervention (UPDATED)
And the Syrian people are losing. The news this morning is all about Syria exploding. Reports of aircraft being used to coordinate ground fire — including heavy weapons and artillery — should put the whole drone hysteria business into context … Continue reading

The Triumphant Return of the French Empire
Call it “Revenge of the Freedom Fries.” Sarkozy is being lionized: Mr. Sarkozy, as ever, was passionate about his government’s accomplishments, both in helping oust the defeated president of Ivory Coast, Laurent Gbagbo, four months ago, and now Col. Muammar … Continue reading

Afghanistan, Green Energy, And War
There’s a Plan B after all. Afghanistan turns out to have enormous metal deposits: So far, the biggest mineral deposits discovered are of iron and copper, and the quantities are large enough to make Afghanistan a major world producer of … Continue reading
Those Crazy Mossad Boys
They done fucked up. Not only did they get busted with good policework by the Dubai cops, it turns out they stole the IDs from Israelis with dual citizenship. Now the Israeli press is having a field day. From the … Continue reading
Afghanistan and the Obama Military (UPDATE)
Operation Mushtarak began this weekend. The Obama military is going to war under the banner of a non-English noun. Mushtarak is defined as “common,” “joint,” “combined,” “concurrent,” or “collective;” in the Arabic of international relations this word is used to … Continue reading
