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.

A War Without a Vote

On the morning of February 28, 2026, America went to war.

America's AI Governance Gap

America’s AI Governance Gap

Federal inaction on AI regulation has produced a patchwork of state AI laws, undermining U.S. competitiveness and threatening the country’s leadership of a potentially civilization-defining technology.

Trump’s Venezuela Dilemma: Military Victory, Economic Quagmire

President Trump’s military raid that removed Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro may have been tactically impressive.

Midterm Pressures Constrain Trump’s Political Agenda

Just eleven months after Donald Trump’s historic return to the White House, midterm polling is beginning to constrain the political space needed to advance the MAGA agenda, as voter anxiety mounts over how he is handling the issues that got him elected.

Trump’s Caribbean Gambit and the Limits of American Power

Trump’s Caribbean Gambit and Limits of US Power
