War

Mine, America’s, and humanity’s.

The late ‘60s and early ‘70s were crazy, but we’re looking wilder.

“Empires fold up when either they get overrun or their citizens have had enough.”

Ben, we bloggers will all miss you, as will all the standup comedians.

“If you’re ending the forever war in Afghanistan … then why are we increasing, at the same time, the defense budget?”

Hospital attacks in Yemen and Kunduz have not been mentioned in any of the U.S. presidential debates or forums so far. We need a full investigation of these crimes, to hold those responsible accountable.

From Obama to Trump, the escalation of drone warfare.

Russian and Ukrainian soldiers will eventually largely lay down their arms, but as the Soviet Afghanistan War shows, returning from the frontlines causes its own issues.

Now, in its war with Iran, that evolution is reaching its most dangerous phase. 

This intervention by an important group of U.S. national security experts comes at a time when Ukraine is delaying its long-promised spring offensive to avoid "unacceptable" losses, and a return to the negotiating table can therefore save countless lives.
