Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's Thursday arrest makes him the highest-profile figure to face criminal consequences for ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein . The big picture: Following the arrest, police cited the former Prince Andrew's emails with Epstein — made public in the latest Justice Department drop — but supporters of the late Virginia Giuffre see it as a long-coming victory for the woman who once sued Mountbatten-Windsor for sexual abuse. Driving the news: Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, authorities said. - In a statement about the arrest, police cited emails allegedly showing that the former prince may have forwarded confidential trade documents to Epstein. - The…
President Trump is directing his administration to begin releasing government documents related to aliens and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), he announced Thursday evening. The big picture: Trump's comments on Truth Social came hours after he accused former President Obama of disclosing classified information for saying aliens are "real" in a podcast last week. Screenshot: President Trump/Truth Social Context: Obama clarified in Saturday's podcast interview with host Brian Tyler Cohen that he saw no evidence of extraterrestrial species during his time in office and noted after the clip went viral that "statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there's life out there." Zoom in: Fox News' Peter Doocy asked Trump…

Foreign Affairs The Survival of the Hermit Kingdoms Voluntary isolation has proven a more durable model than the prophets of globalism predicted. As Iran teeters either on the brink of a war with a vastly superior power or the risk of making a peace deal on extremely unfavorable terms, it is worth looking for comparison’s sake at the comparatively strong position of Kim Jong Un and other so-called hermit kingdoms with that of the more interventionist and even global approval–seeking government in Tehran. Winding back the clock from the present moment might be a helpful framing device here. Japan once experienced two and a half centuries of comparative withdrawal, peace, and stability from the rest of the world under the Tokugawa…Open

Foreign Affairs A War With Iran Only Helps China Another military adventure in the Middle East will leave America poorer and more overextended. For decades, Washington has sought to punish Iran for rejecting its political order. This has once again become apparent in recent weeks, with carrier groups steaming toward the Persian Gulf, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visiting the White House, and the president hinting at “very tough” measures should this phase of negotiations with Tehran falter. Once more, Lindsey Graham (R-SC) cries wolf, belting out warnings of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. All the while, ordinary Americans can sense that their interests are being subordinated, their worries drowned out by the…Open
Don’t do it, Mr. President. The post War on Iran Is the Opposite of ‘Realism’ appeared first on The American Conservative .
Foreign Affairs War on Iran Is the Opposite of ‘Realism’ Don’t do it, Mr. President. Credit: Anadolu/Getty Images No one really knows what goes on inside the mind of President Donald Trump. But judging by the significant, ongoing U.S. military buildup in the Middle East, one can make an informed guess: He thinks a big war with Iran is a good idea. If that’s the case, he’s wrong—dangerously so—and he needs a dose of realism. This administration already claims to be guided by a “flexible realism” in foreign policy. But no variant of realism, however flexible, recommends a U.S. war on the Islamic Republic at this juncture. Realism holds that geography and the relative distribution of military power among states determine…Open

^^ The [DS] is having a tough time, since the Epstein info came out they are resigning from positions and some are cancelling their talks. They are feeling pain and soon they will not be able to walk down the street.Trump says that we are going to know about Iran in 10 days. The other day he mentioned that the UK or a friendly country might be attacked. The clock has started. Trump wants peace, he is removing the [DS] from each country, the [DS] wants war, Trump has the leverage, peace will always win against war.
