RT Stephen Wertheim (@stephenwertheim)The Iran war exposes just how mil­it­ar­ily over­stretched and stra­tegic­ally undis­cip­lined the United States has become. Within weeks, the country has poured massive quant­it­ies of scarce high-end muni­tions into a region that its own National Secur­ity Strategy deemed a low pri­or­ity just four months ago.“The days in which the Middle East dom­in­ated Amer­ican for­eign policy in both long-term plan­ning and day-to-day exe­cu­tion are thank­fully over,” wrote the ...

RT Jon Hoffman (@Hoffman8Jon)It should be abundantly clear that this war is already a profound strategic failure.Trump is now insisting that the US might need to return periodically for "spot hits" inside Iran given that Operation Epic Fury produced no lasting result.This is music to Netanyahu's ears.In essence, Trump is saying that he wishes to adopt Israel's "mowing the lawn" strategy—launching periodic military raids to keep their adversaries weak and in a constant state of chaos.This is a recipe for per ...

RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)(1) is an act of war that would start WW3. Quite similar to what would happen if Russia attacked the supply lines in central Europe that resupply Ukraine. Proxy wars have rules that distinguish them from total war and we very much should abide by them.(2) that was then, this is nowI wish the U.S. government would just come clean about such matters to the American people they are supposed to serve instead of running a secret foreign policy that appears to be, and may or may not in ...

RT Davide Maria De Luca (@DM_Deluca)The war in Iran has once again highlighted the process of “Israelization” of the law of armed conflict: the phenomenon by which the rules governing what is not allowed in war are reduced to the bare minimum.Yesterday, the United States carried out a surprise attack in the middle of negotiations; it was also a strike squarely aimed at the civilian political leadership.In 1986, Reagan had to deny that the attack on Tripoli was intended to kill Gaddafi. At the time, it was c ...

Core Viewpoint - The Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs is seen as a setback for the U.S. government, particularly affecting President Trump's ability to impose tariffs as a tool for foreign policy and national security [1][10]. Group 1: Tariff Implementation - President Trump announced the imposition of a 10% global tariff under section 122, in addition to existing tariffs, to combat unfair trading practices [2][6]. - The ruling allows the president to maintain trade embargos against entire nations, indicating that while tariffs are limited, other forms of trade restrictions remain available [3][10]. Group 2: Impact on National Security - The removal of certain tariff powers is viewed as detrimental to national security, particularly in light of previous successful tariffs that led to a decline in fentanyl deaths [8][12]. - The Supreme Court's decision is perceived as diminishing the president's leverage in negotiations, although it still allows for full embargoes [10][11]. Group 3: Political Implications - The ruling has sparked discussions about the balance of power between the presidency and Congress regarding trade policies, with some suggesting it may affect future judicial appointments and political strategies [5][6]. - The ongoing debate highlights the importance of tariffs in protecting U.S. jobs and industries, as emphasized by various political figures [7].

Donald Trump's problem with trying to be an autocrat continues. And polling shows he's having trouble here. He's sagging at 39%.The immigration outrage is part of that. The L. A.Times reports all of this taking a toll with crashing trust in our elections, concerns about misuse of ICE and other federal agents. 30% of the voters think that immigration officials might be at polling locations, including a larger share of minority Americans. And that matters because the belief by 46%, say, of perfectly lawful Hi ...

I remember the last time you sat in that chair and we asked you if we were about to strike Iran. I believe your answer was yes, and of course we did. How about now.Well, I think we're going to do it again. I think just first, just considering the politics of it all, I think president the President Trump has already said that he is painted into a corner more or less by saying we're locked and loaded and you should come out onto the streets. And if we don't do it, it sort of it really raises the strategic wor ...

Foreign policy concerns, economic fears and quality of life were cited as the main reasons one-third of American millionaires said they're more likely to leave the country as Trump's second term hits the one-year mark, according to a survey.Read more: https://t.co/wFDXsVrB11Photo: Anna Moneymaker via Getty Images ...
