Opinion | Trump Is Banking on Iranian Weakness. That’s a Mistake.

Incredibly frustrating to pitch numerous ideas, which get summarily rejected, only to read a piece like this, which tells us absolutely nothing and is the definition of uninteresting. I don’t understand op-ed editors. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/o...

None of this is a surprise. Around 70% of the firearms seized in Mexico come from the United States. Clamping down on gun smuggling along the U.S.-Mexico border would do a hell of a lot more on countering the cartels than, say, bombing them from the air.

Inside Russia’s Secret Campaign of Sabotage in Europe How Russian military intelligence is recruiting young people online to carry out espionage, arson, and other attacks across the Continent.
