Caroline B. Glick Newsweek, Mar. 7, 2022 “Malley’s capitulation includes delisting Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps from the State Department’s list of Foreign Terror Organizations and ending U.S. sanctions on Iran’s senior terror masters.” For decades, senior Israeli defense officials beat a path to the Pentagon, the State Department, the CIA and the National Security Council with briefcases full […]

What kind of nuclear weapons does Russia have? Russia has more […]
Nigel Gould-Davies The Moscow Times, Mar. 1, 2022 “Russia’s aggression – which threatens the wider international order, as well as Western security – enjoys almost no support elsewhere.” After six days, it is clear that Vladimir Putin’s invasion was based on delusions about Ukraine, the West and Russia. Whatever the outcome on the battlefield, Putin […]

Asli Aiydintashas, Julien Barnes-Dacey, and Cinzia Bianco European Council on Foreign Relations, Feb. 10, 2022 “… rising tensions between the West and Russia will likely damage regional stabilisation efforts, particularly in Libya and Syria.” Ukraine’s fate hangs in the balance.
