While I’ve done a decent job of predicting the overall arc of U.S. President Donald Trump’s foreign policy, I’ve also gotten some things profoundly wrong. For example, I—like many in Washington—thought we were headed into a new period of tension and competition with China. Worse, I told a journalist last year that I didn’t think Trump wanted a war with Iran, a mistake that has prompted me to reconsider not just Trump’s approach to Iran, but my understan

    In the 1974 film The Land That Time Forgot, the crew of a British ship torpedoed by a German U-boat in World War I crash upon the shores of a mysterious island. Though preoccupied with their ongoing geopolitical struggle, the British and Germans quickly discover something even stranger: a world full of dinosaurs and cavemen, untouched by the modern world or the passage of time, preserved perfectly in amber like a fossil.
