Syria and the Changing Global Calculus

Joshua Muravchik Quillette, Dec. 31, 2024 “Compared to the losses Washington absorbed when it fled Afghanistan in 2021, where its presence was never about footholds or bases or international status, Russia has suffered a much heavier blow. “Our catastrophe,” a prominent Russian military blogger called it.” I.

Tobin JNS, Dec. 29, 2024 “For all of the applause he has received for his life as an ex-president, Carter’s animus against the Jewish state and willingness to use his moral standing and influence to besmirch it and aid the efforts of antisemitic hate-mongers and terrorists to undermine its existence is also part […]

Jimmy Carter: A Jewish Tragedy

How the West’s Literary Elite Distorted Language To Justify Their Bizarre Embrace Of Jihadism

Anonymous The JC, Dec. 27, 2024 “Producers of culture should not be claiming fiction as fact.
