Russia Under Putin Is an Example of Self-Defeat Paul Craig Roberts Since 2014 I have been puzzled by the absence of a Russian foreign policy strategy.  The Kremlin had the carrot--diplomacy--but no stick, the absence of which made the diplomacy ineffective.  If the diplomacy failed, there was no backup plan. We saw this in 2014 when Washington overthrew without Russian opposition the Russian-friendly government in...

The Disappearing Western World Paul Craig Roberts It was 53 years ago that Jean Raspail wrote The Camp of the Saints in an attempt to wake up the French nation to the future challenge they would face.  The French response was to dismiss Raspail's effort as a dystopian novel and do nothing.  Today five decades later Marine Le Pen, leader of France's only French nationalist...

Is the Muslim Middle East Uniting at Last? Yesterday on Dialogue Works Nima assured me that Iran has been invited to join the Turkey, Saudi, Pakistan security alliance, and we explored possible consequences.  An alliance of that size--some 480 million people strategically located and controlling important waterways--would serve to block any further Israeli-American violence in the Middle East.  Israel would have to put its agenda...

What this means is that in the five-year period, 2020-2025, foreign born individuals took 4,700,000 of the 5,345,000 new jobs, leaving only...

Putin's Pusillanimity Is Leading to Nuclear War Paul Craig Roberts Putin's pusillanimity has destroyed any belief among Western governments that Russia will defend its interests and sovereignty. Even tiny countries such as Estonia have no trepidation about boarding Russian oil tankers on the high seas.  As Russia's military budget has been constrained by Putin's protégée Elvira Nabiullina, a pro-Western Russian official who heads the Russian...

Putin's Ever-widening War Widens Further Gilbert Doctorow reminds us that Putin's 4.5 year long refusal to win a minor conflict has expanded into a war that has come home in devastating ways to Mother Russia.  There has just been a major Ukrainian attack on St. Petersburg aided and supported by NATO countries.  Putin's strategic blunder has widened the conflict from Donbas into an openly supported...

Michigan's Republican candidate for the US Senate has asked AIPAC not to campaign in his behalf, testifying to the clout of Michigan's large Muslim population. We are witnessing a case of poetic justice.  The refugees from...
