On Tuesday, the Washington Examiner reported that Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officers are actively plotting to murder former US National Security Advisor John Bolton. According to the report, late last year, Bolton joined former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as a former senior official who receives Secret Service protection due to “continuing, credible and specific” threats on their lives emanating from the IRGC.

The unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine has exposed the folly, peril, and incoherence of 21st Century Globalism.  Unlike the economic globalism of the 19th and early 20th centuries that focused on the concept of free trade of goods for goods, this iteration can be characterized by allegiance to irrational environmentalism and the creation of elitist global institutions determined to mold mankind and impose regimentation on countries and their populations to ostensibly “save the planet.”

The west continues to crumble

Sharansky’s truism:

“Everybody has a knife, but not everybody is prepared to use it.  Putin believes that he is willing to use his knife and the west isn’t—that the west can only talk even if it is physically stronger.”

From Putin to Tehran and the Palestinians, the west fails to grasp that fanatics mean what they say

The fable of the scorpion and the frog

In an interview about the war against Ukraine, the former Soviet dissident turned Israeli public figure, Natan Sharansky, made a key observation.

Commenting in Tablet that both Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin, were far from the strongest in the world, Sharansky shared something he had learned from his time in a Soviet prison.

T. Belman.  Biden is obviously following the EU who funds anti-Israel NGO’s to the tune of $500 million/year.  When is somebody going to fund an investigation of the Human Rights abuses by both the Palestinian Authority and Hamas?  The answer is never.

State Department offering nearly $1 million to investigate alleged human rights abuses

By Adam Kredo, WASH FREE BEACON • March 10, 2022 12:15 pm

The Biden administration is offering nearly $1 million for groups to investigate alleged human rights abuses in Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip, an effort that will delegitimize Israel, according to sources who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon.

Egypt is embroiled in a war of ideas as Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi resists Islamists in a struggle for the future of Egypt and the Middle East. Currently, there are historic reforms taking place in the United Arab Emirates, Sudan, Bahrain, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. But the path to ideological and religious reform has been most difficult in Egypt.

A Frontpage Mag exchange.        Thu Mar 10, 2022

Editors’ note: Below is an exchange between Frontpage contributors Robert Spencer and Joseph Puder on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — and what America and the West must do about it. We hope our readers will find this dialogue/debate between two of Frontpage’s finest to be thought-provoking and enlightening.

Joseph Puder: The West Has Not Learned The Lessons of World War II.
We need a Churchill in the White House, not a feeble Chamberlain.

The scenes of the Russian invasion into Ukraine are reminiscent of 81 years ago when Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union in what was called “Operation Barbarossa.” Nazi troops stormed the Ukraine fields with thousands of tanks and Stuka dive bombers. Behind them was Hitler’s Einsatzgruppen, SS murderers set out to murder every Jew in the territories of Ukraine that the Nazi army occupied.

The invasion has not worked out as Moscow seems to have planned, but its troops can continue to target civilian areas in Ukraine.

Two weeks into the Russian invasion of Ukraine, one thing is clear: President Vladimir Putin and the Russian military have failed in their goals abysmally.

Not only have Kyiv and Kharkiv not fallen into the hands of Russian troops “within two days,” but no large Ukrainian city has. This great failure is also reflected in the Kremlin’s draconian censorship of the country’s media, banning any criticism of the “special operation.”

President Joe Biden “now faces the challenge of selling to Americans why enduring some impact to our economy for Ukraine matters. That is not going to be easy,” Edward Frantz, a historian at the University of Indianapolis says.

Not long after winding down 20 years of war, President Joe Biden now finds the United States entrenched in a conflict in Ukraine, even without sending in US troops, that could have a more far-reaching effect on a larger cross-section of Americans than Afghanistan or Iraq ever did.

Fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq cost the lives of more than 6,900 US troops and more than 7,500 US contractors, and American spending topped $2.3 trillion. But those wars had little impact on how the vast majority of Americans lived their daily lives. It was a 20-year period where people experienced both the Great Recession and the longest US economic expansion, touchstones that were little influenced by the two grinding conflicts.

While the Bennett-Lapid coalition lost a record 32 votes over five months, one bill remains a threat on the final day of the Knesset’s winter session

By Michael Hauser Tov, HAARETZ

Knesset Speaker and coalition member Mickey Levy at the Knesset after he mistakenly voted against a coalition-sponsored bill, in July.

The Knesset’s winter session will end this week with several failures for the governing coalition.

Due to coronavirus quarantines, Justice Minister Gideon Sa’ar’s pet project, a bill to set term limits for the prime minister, won’t be brought for a vote. And since no agreement has been reached with the United Arab List, a reform of the conversion process important to Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s Yamina party will also wait until the Knesset reconvenes in May.

As Russia’s war against Ukraine continues, Iran and Hezbollah remain officially neutral. Patron and proxy have neither backed Kyiv’s struggle against Russian aggression – despite their own pretenses to anti-imperial resistance – nor their partner Moscow, which guaranteed their victory over the Assad regime’s opponents in Syria. At different moments, Tehran and Hezbollah’s leadership have even expressed sympathy with both belligerents.

But their neutrality is superficial. A careful analysis of their leadership’s pronouncements, alongside their media outlets, reveals that both are stealthily pro-Russian, hoping its war in Ukraine will erode American global influence, while being officially agnostic.
