Rodger’s “Naval History of Britain” covers not only the full range of battles, but also the intersection of politics and naval campaigns—from the British monarchs to the cramped quarters of the lowest tars, foregrounded in the inextricable link between Britain and the sea

With his recent decision to ease sanctions on Russian diesel in an effort to bring down fuel prices, Trump has abandoned any pretense of neutrality in the Russia-Ukraine War. He has chosen a side: Putin's.

For decades, conservatives like Michigan’s Mike Rogers took for granted that support for Israel would remain a stable part of the Republican platform. Yet today, as the far right increasingly challenges that consensus, support for Israel, even among Republicans, is waning

Excerpt,

"The material gap between American and Chinese manufacturing capacity could be structurally fatal. Recent US-China Economic and Security Review Commission and Congressional Research Service data confirm that China was responsible for 53 percent of global shipbuilding tonnage in 2024. This commercial capacity gives Beijing an attrition depth that digital power alone cannot match. Overcoming this deficit requires more than leaders who merely value the artisan. The US must wield economic statecraft to fund the institutions that cultivate these artisans, recognizing that financial abstraction is a strategic vulnerability. A republic cannot project power abroad if it refuses to cultivate the hands that build its foundries."

The failure to promote and value skilled trades is not just a cultural failing but a strategic one, as the defense industrial base is increasingly unable to recruit the technical workforce necessary to sustain America’s military @LuttrellTweet

My article @ProvMagazine in 2016 recalling de Gaulle’s response to 1968 chaos: “The Republic will not abdicate. The people will come to its senses. Progress, independence and peace will carry the day, along with freedom.” https://t.co/6OLL2pfdLf

Thanks for having me @markdtooley and @ProvMagazine . I spoke about how Christian realist Reinhold Niebhuhr's "serenity prayer" provides a good guide for US foreign policy: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
