The American Security State Hosts the World Cup

The American Security State Hosts the World Cup

The 2026 World Cup will bring the global game to three North American hosts: the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. In the U.S., it will arrive when the very meaning of hosting has become contested. In the background, another infrastructure is being prepared: the immigration and security apparatus that determines who enters the U.S.

Canada Opens a Door Beyond Washington

Canada Opens a Door Beyond Washington

On February 14, 2026, at the Munich Security Conference, Canadian Defense Minister David McGuinty signed a document no non-European nation had signed before.

Washington Stealthily Deserts Africa

Washington Stealthily Deserts Africa

There will be no Suez. No Saigon. No single humiliating frame for historians to seize upon. America’s retreat from Africa—a continent of 1.5 billion people and the minerals that power everything Washington claims to covet—is happening quietly. Troops are drawn down, aid is slashed, and diplomats are recalled to no fanfare.

How Washington Ended a War on Paper

How Washington Ended a War on Paper

The Constitution is clear: Congress declares war. Period. That is the way the Founding Fathers wrote it. They set the line in the founding document.

Crisis to Ceasefire: Iran and the Ballot Box

Crisis to Ceasefire: Iran and the Ballot Box

Nothing angers American voters more than rising gasoline prices. They are not only an economic burden but the most direct channel through which the costs of the war with Iran are passed to the American voter. Even with talk of a breakthrough in negotiations with Iran, that relief is not something voters feel right away.

Hegseth's Purge: Changing Horses in Midstream - George

Hegseth’s Purge: Changing Horses in Midstream

There’s an old saying in American military circles: Do not change horses in the middle of the stream. The axiom reflects some hard-learned lessons about what can go wrong when a country subordinates military prowess to backroom politics in selecting commanders during a war.

A Self-Inflicted Energy Shock

A Self-Inflicted Energy Shock

President Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran has exposed a fundamental strategic contradiction: the U.S. has reinforced its dependence on fossil fuels while simultaneously triggering a conflict in the world’s most critical energy chokepoint, the Strait of Hormuz, without a credible plan to manage the consequences.

China Wins in Iran Without a Fight

China Wins in Iran Without a Fight

The bombs are falling on Tehran, Natanz, and Fordow. Missiles threaten oil tankers trying to navigate the Hormuz Strait. The headlines tout US and Israel’s deadly sorties and missile attacks while Iran retaliates. But when the dust settles, the country likely to win the war will be one that has not joined the fight: China.

A War Without a Vote

A War Without a Vote

On the morning of February 28, 2026, America went to war. Not in the way it has gone to war in the modern era—with congressional authorization, lengthy intelligence briefings, and months of public debate—but with an eight-minute video posted on Truth Social. Bombs fell on Iran before most Americans had finished their morning coffee.

U.S. Trade Power Recalibrated

U.S. Trade Power Recalibrated

The Supreme Court’s landmark ruling striking down President Trump’s tariffs goes beyond dismantling a central pillar of the administration’s trade policy. It also significantly constrains the executive branch’s ability to impose tariffs unilaterally, shifts authority in tariff decision-making back to Congress and alters the strategic calculus of U.S. economic statecraft.
