Ian Proud: The definition of insanity: a neocon think tank’s recommendations for Russia

Peacemonger June 20, 2025

The Henry Jackson Society is a so-called non-partisan British neocon thinktank (so British, that is named after an American politician). It is closely associated with the UK Conservative Party and Boris Johnson wrote the foreword to its 2019 manifesto setting out a vision for Global Britain. And it’s possible to see the hand of Johnson in the bombastic prescriptions of this report.

Chas Freeman: Peace in Ukraine, Peace in Europe

chas freeman June 19, 2025

In the West, this is a time of forever wars.  Forever wars have no defined or achievable objectives.  Therefore, they include no plan for their termination or the reconciliation of the parties to their results.  In forever wars, what passes for strategy is the fantasy that the will of the enemy will somehow evaporate, leading to its unconditional surrender.  But ‘we will win, they will lose’ is a pipe dream, not a program.  Even wars of attrition need steadfast purposes that both sides can, eventually, reluctantly agree to.

Anatol Lieven: Europe’s risky war on Russia’s ‘shadow fleet’

RSJune 18, 2025

Sevim Dagdelen: What to Expect From the Upcoming NATO Summit

the nation June 16, 2025

NATO is facing the greatest crisis in its history. What appears to be its strength is increasingly accelerating its internal decline. Like Mephistopheles in Goethe’s Faust, the alliance often achieves the opposite of what it intends.

Nowhere is this contradiction more evident than in the lead-up to the NATO summit in The Hague, with its sweeping militarization agenda. President Donald Trump has proposed nearly doubling NATO’s military spending—to three trillion dollars, or 5 percent of GDP. European allies seem willing to follow his lead. For Germany, the implications are stark: nearly half of its federal budget—around 225 billion euros—would be directed toward military expenditures. The result would likely be a self-inflicted economic and social crisis.

Lord Robert Skidelsky: The False Premise of European Rearmament

The nationJune 13, 2025

There are two main justifications for European rearmament. The first, and arguably the most important, is that President Trump has demanded it. Historically, the United States has contributed about 70 percent of NATO’s budget. Europe’s rearmament is in part a response to his demand that it pay its “fair share.” This goes in hand with the feeling that the US is poised to disengage from Europe—partly because of Trump’s desire to do business with Putin, partly because of the American pivot on the challenge of China. The two, of course, are linked in the current American geostrategy.

RSJune 13, 2025
