| NEWSMAX | Memorial Day Serves as a Reminder of the Cost of War | John Byrnes Memorial Day serves a special and sacred purpose in American civil life. We remember our fallen, while celebrating our nation and the values they died for. We should also remember to honor those who made it home before making their ultimate sacrifice. Our Memorial Day observances should be a reflection, examining duty, sacrifice, service, and purpose.
The American Conservative | To Protect Taiwan, Don’t Prepare to Defend It | Doug Bandow
The Russo-Ukrainian War may be the world’s most urgent crisis. However, the world’s greatest danger is a U.S.-China conflict over Taiwan.
Moscow, despite possessing nuclear weapons, is a declining power. Moreover, Washington has no cause for war with Russia. Ukraine has never been a military ally nor even security interest of America, and Moscow has carefully avoided clashing with NATO. No one in the nation’s capital, other than wildly reckless hawks like Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker, favors war with Russia, which would almost certainly go nuclear and result in catastrophic destruction.
Responsible Statecraft | The great fade out: Neocon influencers rage as they diminish | Jack Hunter Mark Levin appears to be having a meltdown.

In addition to his rants on how this would hurt Israel, Levin has been howling to anyone who will listen that any deal with Iran needs approval from Congress (funny he doesn’t have the same attitude for waging war, only for making peace). |
