The ideal purpose and appeal of think tanks is their ability…

Οι προσδοκίες για ειρήνη στο ουκρανικό μέτωπο μετά από την εκλογή Τραμπ μπορεί να είναι πολλές, αλλά όλες οι αναλύσεις περιέργως δεν προσμετρούν όσα συμβαίνουν στα πεδία μαχών και όσα φαίνεται ότι θα γίνουν.

Prof. John Mearsheimer, appeared on “Judging Freedom” with Judge Napolitano on 27 November 2024, the day before Thanksgiving.  They continued the conversation about Trump’s appointments on the foreign policy front, which seem so at odds with his claims during the campaign that he wanted to settle the Ukraine war quickly and create a more peaceful world.  They also talked about Israel’s never-ending troubles and very importantly, for the first time, Prof. John Mearsheimer, talked about the ridiculous claim that in USA — and especially our colleges and universities — are…
