[ad_1] Iceland successfully defended its territorial waters and defeated the British Royal Navy through non-military tactics across three (some say four) major conflicts known as the Cod Wars between 1958 and 1976. If Iceland were to do this today, the wreck of the Royal Navy would have not a fraction of the response capability they had decades ago. This is a great example of two nations fighting a hybrid war that sees the weaker nation prevail. “Once again, NATO stepped in. Iceland was threatening to leave for good, and these “friendly” naval battles risked getting out of hand. For the…

[ad_1] The question is not whether a president is strong enough to exercise power, but whether the president is restrained enough to obey the laws he has sworn to uphold, writes Judge Andrew Napolitano. A U.S. destroyer firing a Tomahawk missile as part of the Trump administration’s start of unauthorized war on Iran on Feb. 28. (DoD/Wikimedia Commons/Public Domain) By Andrew P. Napolitano A failed war does not end when the drones stop flying. It creates a new danger: A government that refuses to admit defeat and a president who, having failed abroad, seeks muscular victories elsewhere. The war against Iran…

[ad_1] The Trump administration’s struggle against Iran entered a new phase on August 23, when Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent declared that an “economic D-Day” is coming for Iran. That is, embargoes and tough talk, but not bombs. The New York Times described President Donald Trump’s situation: “He finds himself stuck in a maddening purgatory between full-fledged combat and genuine peace.” (As we know, the administration regards the Times as not only fallacious, but failing.) But then, on August 30, came a newer phase: The U.S. and Iran are back to trading fire—at least a little bit. For his part, Trump…
[ad_1] In 2023, Donald Trump lamented that, under the Biden administration, the U.S. was again buying oil from Venezuela. When he left office at the end of his first term, Trump said, “Venezuela was ready to collapse. We would have taken it over, we would have gotten all that oil.” In his second term, he did. Trump announced last week that the U.S. “just entered into an Agreement with the Country of Venezuela on, THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY!” The deal, he added, “secured majority U.S. control of more than 65 BILLION BARRELS of proven Oil Reserves in…

[ad_1] Trump is giving the Saudis what he says Iran cannot have Reprinted with permission from Trita Parsi’s Substack. A final deal between the United States and Iran is slipping further out of reach. Since the Memorandum of Understanding collapsed in July, the prospects for reviving it have deteriorated by the day. While Tehran publicly demands a return to the MOU, Trump’s current position is that even if Iran reopened the Strait of Hormuz, he would neither return to the agreement nor lift the blockade on Iran. And even in the unlikely event that he did, the MOU could not…
[ad_1] There are a number of things one could observe about the Trump-endorsed Sen. Darline Graham (R-SC) winning her primary last week as she seeks to keep her late brother Lindsey Graham’s seat: her status as a novice, President Donald Trump’s staying power, hereditary succession. Here’s another. I was born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1974. For half my life, my state has been considered “Bush Country.” “South Carolina is Bush Country,” declared Texas Governor George W. Bush himself in 2000 during a hotly contested Republican presidential primary contest against Senator John McCain. (His father, the late former President George…
