Left-Wing Violence and the Return of Europe’s Useful Idiots

Europe’s cities are burning again, not from the distant thunder of foreign wars, but from the predictable violence and hatred of left-wing militants and the feeble, moralising elites who enable them. From Paris to Berlin, masked mobs strike under banners…

Europe’s Veterans Are Haunted By The Wars Politicians Asked Them To Fight

For much of the past three decades, Europe’s soldiers have been dispatched far from home – to Iraq, Afghanistan, the Balkans, the Sahel, and even the mountains of northern Syria. They went under NATO banners, UN mandates, or national expeditions,…

Meeting In Alaska: A Big Deal Without Any Peace Deal

An Inuit proverb says: “Even the strongest eagle cannot fly higher than the stars.” But this truth does not apply to Trump. If one cannot soar higher, then the star must be brought down to earth. And that is what…

Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief: “We must always be prepared for war with Russia”

General Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, has issued a clear warning: Russia remains committed to achieving its strategic objective of subjugating Ukraine, and Kyiv must therefore prepare for a war that could extend well beyond the…

Orbán’s Moscow Tilt Risks Turning Hungary into Europe’s Trojan Horse

When European leaders gather to discuss the fate of Ukraine, they now do so with an ever-present unease: the spectre of Viktor Orbán. The Hungarian Prime Minister, once a champion of European integration, has in recent years cultivated a posture…

Europe’s ‘Security Guarantees’ Leave Ukraine Exposed to Russia’s Next Move

The phrase “security guarantees” has reverberated across European capitals for months, echoing through parliamentary speeches, summit communiqués and interviews with diplomats. It has become the polite euphemism of the age: a term that sounds solid, perhaps even reassuring, but whose…

South Korea’s Cyber Siege Exposes Britain’s Own Weak Spot

South Korea has quietly fought off a barrage of assaults this year — not with missiles or tanks, but with firewalls and cyber specialists. The revelation that its military faced 9,200 cyberattacks in the first half of 2025 alone, a…

The Apprentice: Alaskan Edition – Trump Hails ‘Productive’ Talks While Ukraine Gets Fired

The Alaskan summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin was less a diplomatic negotiation than an episode of The Apprentice: Geopolitics Edition. Trump, grinning like a compare about to deliver a catchphrase, called the talks “productive.” That word, in his…

Europe’s Military Sleepwalk Must End – Before It’s Too Late

Another Day, Another Plan: Britain’s Small Boats ‘Solution’ Sets Sail for Nowhere
