The United States can no longer afford to invest itself in each and every international crisis, while its own home front is vulnerable to political, economic, and financial disasters. 

Our false humanitarianism confused our right to defend our society with a duty to make other societies more like ours.

Why should Americans care more about war-weary Ukrainians than about dead Americans?

The attack on what we stand for and what we believe in is well underway, and very little is being done to counteract it. 

Billions in U.S. aid to Ukraine would be better spent here at home. The time for our country to be involved in regional conflicts that do not impact our own security is over. 

Giving Ukraine a blank check, as some wish us to do, is the very opposite of a prudent U.S. foreign policy.

The processes of capitalism cannot in themselves guarantee meaningful liberty to citizens. Ultimately, only we ourselves can defend our own liberty. 

What coverage of the Russia-Ukraine conflict needs most are transparency, disclosure, and truth-telling. But we should not expect to get it.

Marinated in peace and affluence, we in the West have neglected the truth that human beings are geared for war.

The Chinese don’t need the balloon to attack us. From COVID to corrupt deals with presidents, they are already here.

Here's hoping our self-regarding elites sober up to the Chinese challenge faster than the Soviets did after their own "airborne foreign intruder" incident 35 years ago.

Americans are not being told the truth about the war in Ukraine. We need to pull ourselves back from the brink before it is too late.

The administration’s absurd rescue mission sends a message that if you are the right kind of American, Washington will stop at nothing to save you from the consequences of your decisions.

In 1991, a leading Chinese Communist identified the virtues that made America strong and, therefore, the virtues the CCP should work to undermine. 

Sanctions are destroying our economy, a proxy war is leading the United States to the brink of nuclear annihilation, and America is financing a Nazi regime.

This enterprise has almost nothing to do with the good of Ukraine, any moral principle, or the direct interests of the American people.

Putin deserves what he’s getting, but that moral and strategic victory is still a very different story from America sliding into a nuclear confrontation with a desperate autocrat.

Americans are not interested in being told what to do in exchange for being able to say, “it wasn’t my fault.” Americans will succeed or fail on their own terms.

Does big finance finally perceive the China threat?
