by Philip Giraldi | May 2, 2023 | Featured Articles

The End of American 'Exceptionalism'?
by Philip Giraldi | Apr 19, 2023 | Featured Articles

US Foreign Policy Goes 'Woke'?
by Philip Giraldi | Mar 7, 2023 | Featured Articles
It is generally observed that imperial powers like the United States frequently interfere in foreign governments in support of economic or hard political reasons. To be sure, Washington has refined the process so it can plausibly deny that it is interfering at all,...
America the Feckless
by Philip Giraldi | Feb 21, 2023 | Featured Articles
One would think that the United States military staging an unprovoked “plausibly deniable” covert attack on a nation with which it is not at war would be at least considered newsworthy. That the attack did grave damage to a country with which the US is closely allied...
Will 2023 be Worse Than 2022?
by Philip Giraldi | Jan 10, 2023 | Featured Articles

Spies and More Lies Add Confusion to the Ukraine Conflict
by Philip Giraldi | Jan 3, 2023 | Featured Articles
As has frequently been the case in America’s recent wars, in Ukraine a largely hidden clandestine conflict is paralleling the actual fighting on the ground. One should assume that a variety of western spies using various kinds of cover are operating at all levels as...
Lock Up the White House Silverware! Volodymyr Zelensky is in town!
by Philip Giraldi | Dec 27, 2022 | Featured Articles
In my humble opinion the surfacing of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington last week was possibly the most disgusting example of the corruption of our country and its values since Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu arranged for a similar invitation...
Vladimir Putin’s Vision of a Multipolar World
by Philip Giraldi | Nov 29, 2022 | Featured Articles
In history books as well as in politics every story is shaped by where one chooses to begin the tale. The current fighting in Ukraine, which many observers believe to already be what might be considered the opening phase of World War 3, is just such a development. Did...
Putting an End to Volodymyr Zelensky’s Follies
by Philip Giraldi | Nov 22, 2022 | Featured Articles
One week ago, the Ukrainian government may have deliberately attacked neighbor Poland in an attempt to draw the NATO alliance into its war with Russia. The incident involved a missile that hit a grain processing site inside Poland and killed two farmers. Ukrainian...
War Without End
by Philip Giraldi | Nov 1, 2022 | Featured Articles
Prussian Major General Carl von Clausewitz famously drew on his own experience in the Napoleonic Wars to examine war as a political phenomenon. In his 1832 book “On War” he provided a frequently quoted pithy summary of war versus peace, writing in terms of...
Never Let A Good Crisis Go to Waste
by Philip Giraldi | Sep 13, 2022 | Featured Articles
It is astonishing how many observers of war in Ukraine who should know better have been inclined to take at face value the assertions of “sources” that clearly originate among the various governments that are involved in the conflict. Those leaders who are engaged in...
Dancing with the Politicians
by Philip Giraldi | Sep 7, 2022 | Featured Articles
If the non-stop dancing duo Biden and Blinken is seriously seeking to validate its view that the United States of America is and should be the world’s hegemon, they are going about it the wrong way. They should be taking their lead from Ukraine’s President Volodymyr...
Producing New Enemies for No Reason Whatsoever
by Philip Giraldi | Aug 9, 2022 | Featured Articles

by Philip Giraldi | Aug 2, 2022 | Featured Articles

Joe Biden’s Secret War in Ukraine
by Philip Giraldi | Jul 19, 2022 | Featured Articles

Crime and Punishment
by Philip Giraldi | Jul 5, 2022 | Featured Articles
Quite likely a majority of Americans would agree that it is wrong for the government or police to torture someone, though some would surely accept the “ticking time bomb” exemption, where a detainee is withholding information that could save many lives. It is in fact...
