On Monday, the White House rejected Ukraine’s request for F-16 fighter jets—an eminently reasonable decision to avoid a potentially catastrophic escalation with Russia. Nevertheless, the announcement triggered sp…

The Curious Case of the Croatian Commander-in-Chief

In the run-up to the second invasion of Iraq, President George W. Bush famously stated: “you’re either with us, or you’re against us”. By this point in time, Afghanistan had already been occupied, al-Qaida scattered to the winds, and the Taliban soundly defeated.

Battering the battering ram - Darryl Cooper

The Martyr Made Substack
