The Panama Canal, Venezuela, Greenland: Is Cuba Next? – The American Spectator | USA News and Politics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Liberals and the foreign policy establishment scoffed at President Trump when he bluntly announced that he was reviving the Monroe Doctrine to enhance U.S. hemispheric security. In their view, the Monroe Doctrine was an anachronism that belonged to earlier periods of American history. The Obama administration announced in 2013, in Secretary of State John Kerry’s phrase, that “the era of the Monroe Doctrine is over.” Late last year, American Enterprise Institute Senior Fellow Michael Rubin called
Communism, McCarthyism, and the New Red Scare – The American Spectator | USA News and Politics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As outspoken socialists gain more influence by winning elections at all levels of government in the United States, the Left and its media allies warn of “McCarthyism” and the “new red scare” whenever conservatives recount socialism’s dismal history in power. This is an old communist tactic that the great student of communism James Burnham recognized at the height of the anti-McCarthy frenzy in the 1950s.

JFK, the Berlin Wall, and a Cold War Failure – The American Spectator | USA News and Politics (opens the original)
Read excerpt

The Hitler-Trump Comparisons Are Back, Courtesy of the National Interest – The American Spectator | USA News and Politics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How many assassination attempts will it take before the TDSers will stop comparing President Trump to Adolf Hitler? On the website of The National Interest, owned and operated by the Center for the National Interest, its editor Jacob Heilbrunn uses a review of Timothy Ryback’s book 53 Days: How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy to once again raise the specter of Trump as Hitler. And Heilbrunn does this without even mentioning Trump’s name. But his message is clear: “recalling the Nazi era remains as
China’s Unrestricted Warfare: The CCP’s Blueprint for Victory Without Fighting – The American Spectator | USA News and Politics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 1999, two PLA Air Force (China’s air force) colonels, Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui, wrote a book titled Unrestricted Warfare that created a sensation among U.S. military theorists and national security experts. In 2007, Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies sponsored and hosted a symposium on unrestricted warfare. Retired Lt. Gen. David Barno and scholar Nora Bensahel wrote in War on the Rocks that Qiao and Wang revealed “an unlimited zone of conflict that can reach each one
