Before Deploying More U.S. Forces To Europe, Consider The Consequences. As it turns out, the U.S. sending more troops just angers Europeans, and moreover they think they don't have to pay for their own defense because we're doing it for them.

The Psychology Of Stickiness: What America Can Learn From Its Annexation Of The Philippines In 1898. Why is it so hard to reduce that military footprint, even when public opinion is in favor of doing so? Where did the major U.S. presence in Asia come from, and what can we learn from it?

In recent months, the Taliban’s efforts to crush the Islamic State in Afghanistan have grown increasingly brutal. Suspected members of the Islamic State have been hung in public or beheaded. These tactics are ruthless and — unfortunately for the Taliban — they’re not working.

Many U.S. foreign policy practitioners have a knack for disregarding the gap between America’s proclaimed virtues and sordid reality. The rest of the world has a longer memory, and its vision isn’t clouded by the stories that Americans tell themselves about their supposed indispensability.

Labeling everyone involved in the Jan. 6 attack as part of a singular threat risks making the same mistakes that the US made during the fight against terrorism following 9/11, where the U.S. government often created new enemies by confusing “accidental guerillas” with real terrorist threats.

Profiteers, Vultures, and the Defeat of the UN Embargo on Libya. There is a UN embargo prohibiting arms shipments to Libya, but it is an abject failure. Its prohibitions have been openly flouted by states who are in good standing of the “international community” and the UN Security Council itself.

Defund CENTCOM. After decades of spending trillions of dollars on fruitless wars, Americans are getting frustrated with the Middle East. The withdrawal advocates are right. The foggy theories underpinning U.S. strategy in the region are wrong.

Penny-Wise, Pound-Foolish: The Iranian Coup of 1953. Rather than meeting an imminent threat, the coup was a preventive maneuver. Iran's President was anti-communist and didn't aid Moscow. The US hoped Mosaddeq would agree to an oil settlement that served the interests of UK and U.S. oil companies.

What Are America’s Sanctions on Syria Good For? The chances of success for Adesnik’s policy “hypothesis” seem near zero. Meanwhile, the civilian harm done by U.S. sanctions is certain. Put bluntly: Immiserating Syria while performatively and moralistically “trying” like this is psychopathic.
