Judging a US president’s first hundred days began with Franklin Roosevelt. For Donald Trump, however, certainly on national-security issues, comparison to Napoleon’s hundred-days campaign may be more apt, ending as it did in disaster for both the emperor and France. Trump’s indifference to Ukraine and his conciliatory approach toward Russia are only one of several […]
Read MoreT.S Eliot would not have minded Robert Kaplan expropriating the title of his mostfamous poem for his latest book, Waste Land. Kaplan’s focus on the decline of the West and thebirth of modernism were among the poem’s themes(175), and his latest tour de force on theunhappy state of the world is decidedly pessimistic on many […]
Responsible advisers and GOP lawmakers should redirect his focus to other targets, especially the EU. Last week’s Trump-Vance-Zelensky train wreck proved that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is on increasingly shaky ground. Starting with Donald Trump’s Feb. 12 phone call with Vladimir Putin about the Ukraine war, things got worse when Mr. Trump called Volodymyr […]
Vladimir Putin was the only winner in last week’s Oval Office grudge match between Donald Trump and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump harmed US national security by ignoring our profound, long-standing interest in European stability, which we learned through the 20th Century’s two hot world wars and one Cold War. Ensuring our enemies do not […]
Trump likes dealing with authoritarian leaders like Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, which is dangerous for our national security because he doesn't fully understand the stakes nor the concessions he's been making.
What does our relationship look like with India in a second Trump term? I spoke with @WIONews on PM Modi's trip to Washington:
It's easy to achieve "peace" if you're willing to surrender.

The real problem in international trade today is China, which is distorting the trading systems in many different ways. A sensible approach to trade issues would be to focus on the country causing the distortions by joining with our allies instead of threatening a trade war…
Endless concessions to Moscow are a threat to American national security. This week the Trump Admin blew up the NATO position on Ukraine and the Belovezha Accords, which broke up the Soviet Union. This puts every other former republic of the Soviet Union at risk of Russian…
Trump admires authoritarian leaders like Putin and thinks they are friends. Putin is too cold-blooded for that. He's a former KGB agent - he knows exactly what he wants and he's going to get it. @LukaszDynowski

Putin scored a major victory over the U.S., NATO, and Ukraine this week, which is why Putin did not negotiate with Biden or Zelensky. He waited to negotiate with Trump because he believed the Kremlin would get more out of a Trump deal. And he was absolutely right.
It is unconscionable to allow Russia to assault Ukraine’s sovereignty, recruit enemies like North Korea to aid in their fight, and then sell out the Ukrainians by conceding the loss of their territory and NATO security guarantees or membership. By making these and others…
Looks like Trump agrees with John Marshall and not JD Vance. Trump gives the right answer - it’s fine to appeal, but he will always abide by court orders.
JD Vance must have slept through his Constitutional law class at Yale. Just to remind, see Chief Justice John Marshall in Marbury v. Madison (1803): "It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is."
The Chinese have been waging economic warfare against us for 30 years while the U.S. has largely failed to respond. It's time we ban all Chinese imports that rely in whole or in part on stolen American intellectual property.
