Ungarn-Wahl: Ein Pyrrhus-Sieg für Brüssel?
Von Peter Grimm • Ursula von der Leyen freut sich, dass Ungarns bisheriger Ministerpräsident Viktor Orbánkrachend abgewählt wurde. Er hatte sich immer wieder erfrecht, gegen die Pläne ihres EU-Apparats zu stimmen und manches mit seinem Vetorecht zu blockieren. Doch das ist kein Votum der Ungarn für von der Leyens Apparat. An Orbáns Nachfolger wird sie vielleicht gar nicht so viel Freude haben.

Will Trump’s Order to Blockade Iranian Ports Actually Work?

The short answer to my question is, No! The US, notwithstanding Trump’s threats, is not going to deploy its Navy ships close to Iran’s shore… The USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) Carrier Strike Group (CSG 3) learned this the hardway in March.

Accurate words and definitions always matter, however, it is often underappreciated how important this is in the study of history, especially regarding context-dependent words and meanings.

The US Separation From Europe And NATO Is Long Overdue

As much as many centrists and libertarians are opposed to Donald Trump’s ongoing strikes against Iran, I have to say, the downstream result might end up becoming one of the most libertarian results I have ever seen. For decades, small government activists like those in the Ron Paul movement have been calling for a comprehensive US divorce from NATO and the shutdown of America’s military bases overseas. Trump has, either deliberately or inadvertently, set this very process in motion.

Turns Out the Elites Like the Administrative State Better than Democracy

If there is a mantra among progressive American political and media elites, it would be “our democracy,” usually preceded by what they believe to be a threat from the Right. For example, progressives deemed the recent reversal of Roe “a threat to our democracy” because it removed laws regulating abortion from Supreme Court jurisdiction and returned the issue to democratically elected legislatures.
