Caleb Maupin’s suspicion that this guy is a mole or an asset must be correct. For many years, I have attacked these leftist-anarchist people as “anarcho-Democrats,” anarcho-MSNBCers, anarcho-SPLCers, or “State Department anarchists” but this is the first I’ve seen them actually embrace these labels on this level.

Much of the current focus on the Ukraine war is currently on the shelling of the major urban centers of Kharkiv and Kyiv. And from a political and humanitarian perspective, that certainly makes sense. But there is a broader strategic and economic perspective that I feel as though […]

Tonight at 9 pm Eastern.
Russia’s position is that the West is trying to encircle them in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia.
