The HMS Invincible during her glory days…now in mothballs Defensetech has the bizarre story of the efforts to buy the British HMS Invincible, now retired, by a Chinese businessman. As they note, we’ve seen this before: “Well, it looks like

As we look ahead at the beginning of a new year and a new decade, there is increasing talk again about whether America is in inevitable decline. It’s the sort of talk that has emerged before. In the 1970s and

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally requested that President Obama release convicted spy Jonathan Pollard. Netanyahu is simply doing what any leader does: look out for the interests of his country. I have enormous respect for Netanyahu–but he’s dead

Get this: the massacre of 21 Christians in Egypt on New Years Day was not an example of Islamists killing Christians. The massacre was actually carried out by Israeli intelligence, or so says the Iranian media. Iranian television even quotes

Germany’s Der Spiegel reports that Neo-Nazis in former East Germany are making a concerted effort to infiltrate and take over several Kindergartens. In some respect they are trying to mimic other groups because their hope is to “indoctrinate” young kids.

That may seem like an absurd question, but it’s hard to come to any other conclusion when you consider what is happening to our energy industry on the Gulf Coast. As the Wall Street Journal reports today, the Obama Administration

Iran claims to have shot down two US drones operating over their territory. Iran also claims that its missiles are within range of all major US military installations in the region. It’s one thing for President Ahmadinejad to spout crazy

Beginning on February 4, 2011 the Chinese New Year will take us from the Year of the Tiger to the Year of the Rabbit. Or so says Master Ming, writing in Pravda. That means peace, love, harmony, and global reconciliation

The New Year starts with Islamists in Egypt attempting to “cleanse the Middle East of Christians.” Asia News reports: Alexandria (AsiaNews / Agencies) – A car bomb exploded last night outside a Coptic church in Alexandria, Egypt, just before Mass

There is a fascinating piece in the South Korean media about the behavior patterns of North Korea’s Kim Jong Il. Apparently, Kim has a habit of visiting the “scene of a crime” just before he commits the dastardly act. Thus

South Korea’s Chosen has a piece on the growing competition between the United States and China in the Pacific and the role played by aircraft carriers. Beyond the military balance, there is interesting symbolism here. Joining the US Pacific Fleet

President Obama has bypassed the US Senate and appointed an Ambassador to Syria. Why bypass the Senate? Because numerous senators objected to the appointment on the grounds that sending an Ambassador simply rewards Syria’s bad behavior. In addition to sponsoring

US Defense Secretary Gates will be in China in less than two weeks (January 9). A nice greeting from the Chinese Defense Minister, Liang Ganglie, as reported by the UK’s Telegraph: “In the coming five years, our military will push

That is the conclusion of Oxford linguist Nicholas Ostler. (He studied Latin and Sanskrit so what does he know?!) The author of a recent book on the rise and fall of languages throughout history, Ostler concludes that the popularity of

A new letter is circulating in Israel signed by 27 prominent Rabbis’ wives. Those behind it insist that it isn’t about racism but about protecting the Jewish faith. Really? Doesn’t sound like that when you read the letter. An Israeli

The UK’s Daily Mail reported this last July. Someone just passed it along. Don’t know how I missed it: “A brave British soldier who was shot in the face by the Taliban spat out the bullet – then walked nearly

So who’s it going to be? 2010 has been a banner year for dictators, whether it’s the lunacy emanating from Kim in North Korea, the bizarre behavior of Libya’s Qaddafi, or the nuttiness of Hugo Chavez. These guys all crave

We’re accustomed to reading stories about the threats to innocent life posed by Mexican drug lords. But another big challenge in Mexico is the lawlessness of the Mexican….military. The UK Daily Mail reports on yet another case where Mexican soldiers

I hate to dampen the Christmas cheer, but our economic elites continue to drive the Western world down with their manipulative economic policies. First we were told “trust us,” and they would deliver perpetual prosperity, the welfare state, economic equality,

North Korea’s heir apparent is obsessed with a Chinese film ‘The Rise of the Great Nations,’ about how advanced countries like the United States, Great Britain, and France became Great Nations. Kim is quoted as saying that he could watch

The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is tracking Santa’s progress using an array of satellites, spy aircraft, and land-based surveillance units. Kids and parents alike can track his movements here.

We are far too accustomed to thinking that the Middle East is populated only by Muslims and a few Jews. There are Christians living there, too, often beleaguered and under attack. Here are three stories that remind us during this
