Putin money and pro-Maduro movement, Newsom and Trump, Trump Brexit, German ISIS fighters and Nazism

Putin money lurks in pro-Maduro march on the White House. A striking number of those organizing the event have links to the Kremlin.

In Newsom and Trump, two media responses to executive overreach. The hypocrisy is quite striking in how differently the press has judged each negative action.

Time for Trump to step up on Brexit: the president can do more to help Britain in this moment of need. Here’s what he should focus on.

The sick stupidity of comparing German ISIS fighters to Nazi-era German Jews. The differences are vast and important.

Guaido and US military action, Theresa May and Brexit, Pompeo and US diplomats

Nicolas Maduro’s detention of Juan Guaido would justify US military action. The Venezuelan interim president has constitutional authority, is a US ally, and is a marker for US foreign policy credibility.

Theresa May’s against the odds Brexit vote. The prime minister’s position was always highly precarious. Too many divided MPs make a unified agreement near impossible.

3 reasons why Mike Pompeo is pulling US diplomats from Venezuela. It’s about mitigating risk, controlling an already chaotic security environment, and enabling tougher US actions against Maduro.

Oil embargo, entitlement reform, Bernie on defense, IRA awards

Juan Guaido takes the Examiner’s advice. Time for Trump to support his Cuban embargo. The means of action is clear.

On entitlement reform Trump has morality on his side. The Democratic Party is disingenuous about being able to afford massive new entitlement expansions.

Bernie Sanders doesn’t understand defense spending. The Democratic socialist thinks that the military budget should be gutted. And he wrongly assumes doing so wouldn’t damage national security.

San Francisco’s mayor has dishonored innocent civilian casualties of terrorism by her award to former IRA commander Martin McGuinness.

Warren's idiotic tech plan, Ben Rhodes, Nicolas Maduro's Twitter, Antisemitism

3 reasons Elizabeth Warren’s tech breakup plan is idiotic. The Democratic presidential candidate wants to break the crown jewels of American economic fortune.

Yes, Ben Rhodes’ security clearance was very bad news for America. The former Obama administration national security official was not very good at national security.

Nicolas Maduro nearly has a mental breakdown on Twitter. The Venezuelan presidential pretender is very upset that he broke his electricity network.

Why American Jews are a particular focus of British antisemitism. It’s all about tropes over money and Israeli influence.

Fox News critics, Chinese propaganda, Austin Tice, Russia's insult

Truth, journalism, and why Fox News critics should read 1984. The measure of journalism and free speech should fall towards tolerance not restriction.

China’s state propaganda reveals Xi Jinping’s great frustration over the U.S. Huawei ban. The US should keep up the pressure.

The US should warn Assad and Russia over Austin Tice’s fate. The American journalist must not be harmed. The US must make clear what will follow if he is.

Russia’s new insult to the children of an innocent Briton it murdered. Vladimir Putin’s government has a very warped sense of moral decency.

GRU London, Merkel Maduro, Cuban bars, Clausewitz, Democrats and antisemitism

Here's the identity of a top Russian GRU officer that Britain chucked out after the Skripal assassination attempt. A lieutenant colonel, Alexander Shevelev served two tours in London.

Angela Merkel's pathetic submission to Nicolas Maduro. The German chancellor has betrayed her nation's political credibility by abandoning Juan Guaido in Venezuela.

Cuban bars in Britain and the limits of leftist concern for cultural appropriation. The weird penchant for deference to Castro is telling.

Why we should keep teaching Clausewitz. The Prussian general and theorist has important continuing value to the study of warfare.

To understand the Democratic Party's vulnerability on antisemitism, Nancy Pelosi need only look at Labour's experience in Britain.

Xi Jinping and the Napoleonic virtue, NATO ships in Europe, Supply chains and drug violence

Austerlitz, Xi Jinping, and why Sebastian Gorka is at least right about Napoleon. The French emperor and master strategist has continuing relevance today.

NATO has enough advanced warships, the Europeans just won’t deploy them properly. This bears note in light of the NATO Supreme Commander’s request that two more US warships be stationed in Europe.

Supply chains, yuppies, and young men: why London has a particularly bad knife crime problem. It’s all about the way in which white gold gets to London’s streets.

Maduro's survival, Korea exercises, Putin CNN, Jeremy Corbyn ad infinitum

Why I thought Nicolas Maduro would be gone by now. I overestimated the Trump administration’s resolve to speedily depose him, and underestimated Maduro’s co-potion of military allegiance.

Ending two military exercises in South Korea, Trump embraces tactical weakness and strategic illiteracy.

Putin would welcome CNN analyst's silly Trump-Nazi comparison. He revels in discord. 

Jeremy Corbyn’s latest antisemitic absurdity: investigating himself. The Labour leader has appointed someone from his own, antisemitic office to investigate antisemitism!
