Putin has spent eight years trying, and failing, to dominate Ukraine. The commencement of hostilities is an admission of that failure.

Political leaders don’t consult economists before they start wars. If they did, we’d have world peace.

Biden, like his German counterpart, is asking his country to sacrifice for the greater good of punishing Russia. Will British Prime Minister Boris Johnson do the same?

Putin is Hitler. Biden is weak. Trump was strong. Let’s nuke ’em. Yadda yadda yadda. Here’s hoping the president isn’t listening to this nonsense.

Yes, the Russian leader is an authoritarian aggressor. But different decisions at key points by the U.S. might have made him less so.

The CIA’s abrupt turnabout on the issue of imaginary microwave ray guns left a lot of lawmakers without a favorite political prop.

Largely confined to the White House due to Covid, and kept away from the press by an overprotective staff, the president broke free for almost two hours on Wednesday.

That’s what some foreign policy pundits would have us believe, as Biden and Putin spar over Russia’s mounting threats to its neighbor.

Joe Biden can’t let the U.S. get sucked into a possible Russia-Ukraine conflict. What he can do is help all sides save face.
