When the Only Problem Was Climate Change B

Principles of Government · May 20, 2024 ·

By Bjorn Lomborg – Time hasn’t been kind to the idea that climate change was humanity’s last problem or that the planet would unite to solve it. A rapid global transition from fossil fuels is, and always has been, impossible. There are several reasons that make it so. Many developing nations never shared the Western elite’s obsession with reducing emissions. Life for most people on earth is still a battle against poverty, hunger and disease. Corruption, lack of jobs and poor education hamper their futures. Tackling global temperatures a century out has never ranked high among the priorities of developing countries’ voters—and without their cooperation, the project is doomed. Geopolitical changes since the 1990s have also limited climate ambitions. Russia, Iran and North Korea have emerged as a destructive and destabilizing axis opposed to global security. Despite their occasional claims to the contrary, none of these nations will support global climate-change-mitigation efforts. Read More

The Battle of Civilization B

Principles of Government · May 14, 2025 ·

By Benhamin Netanyahu – This is a turning point for leaders and nations. It is a time for all of us to decide if we are willing to fight for a future of hope and promise or surrender to tyranny and terror…The barbarians are willing to fight us, and their goal is clear: Shatter that promising future, destroy all that we cherish, and usher in a world of fear and darkness…This is a turning point for leaders and nations. It is a time for all of us to decide if we are willing to fight for a future of hope and promise or surrender to tyranny and terror. Read More

Hypersonic Missiles Are Game-Changers, and America Doesn’t Have Them B

By Sharon Weinberger - Sept. 18, 2023

Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

Principles of Government · August 4, 2023 ·

By Sharon Weinberger – The U.S. military is pouring resources into the superfast weapons but has struggled to develop them. China and Russia are far ahead. …the weapons can attack with extreme speed, be launched from great distances and evade most air defenses. They can carry conventional explosives or nuclear warheads. China and Russia have them ready to use. The U.S. doesn’t….For more than 60 years, the U.S. has invested billions of dollars in dozens of programs to develop its own version of the technology. Those efforts have either ended in failure or been canceled before having a chance to succeed. Washington, having spent recent decades focusing on fights with terrorists and insurgencies, is once again pouring resources into hypersonics. Read More

What the U.S. Can Do to Prepare for a War With China B

By Seth Cropsey - March 28, 2023

Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

Principles of Government · August 25, 2023 ·

By Seth Cropsey – The Chinese aren’t going to wait patiently. They are prepared to capitalize on an apparent shift in their favor. China enjoys a growing advantage in geographic position, fleet size and missile numbers. In Xi Jinping, it also has a leader willing to use force to achieve political objectives. China stands a better chance now than it ever has of defeating the U.S. and its allies in a major war. The U.S. should expect an attack on Taiwan within this decade, perhaps as soon as 2025…The imminence of conflict means the U.S. must consider how it would fight with the military as currently constituted.

The U.S. Can Help Ukraine and Deter China B

By Michael Allen and Connor Pfeiffer - July 18, 2023

Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

Principles of Government · August 15, 2023 ·

By Michael Allen and Connor Pfeiffer – The twin imperatives of backing Ukraine and bolstering deterrence in Asia are achievable for now. But Ukraine urgently needs more weapons, and the U.S. must act quickly to strengthen deterrence in Asia, even if a Chinese invasion of Taiwan might not come until 2027. … The good news is that the war in Ukraine has catalyzed action to revitalize America’s industrial base,..
