Patton’s Last Command: The Final Months of an American Military Legend
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* Prior to his untimely death, General George S. Patton, Jr., commanded the Fifteenth Army. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Fifteenth Army was Patton’s last, and least remembered, victory. The October light was beginning to fade as the U.S. Army limousine sped along the autobahn in the American Zone of Occupied Germany. Inside rode the supreme commander of the Allied armies in Europe, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, accompanied by his son, Lieutenant John S.D. Eisenhower. The trip was not unusual since occupation duty in 1945 allowed a...

Jest to kierunek, który jest całkiem możliwy w świecie ludzkości, który ma nadejść.

Gulf Blockade: Qatar Makes Up with its Neighbors – but Will it Last?
Mustafa Menshawy, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Mustafa Menshawy* *Politics, Middle East* The situation has been described as a “detente borne more of exhaustion than compromise”. Shortly after four Arab countries – Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt – imposed an embargo on Qatar in 2017, I flew into the country’s capital Doha. Hamad airport – usually buzzing with visitors from the Gulf countries (one of every four visitors to Qatar in 2015 came from Saudi Arabia) – was eerily quiet. The four countries severed ties with Qatar in June 2017 after they accused Doha of supporting terrorism. They demanded t...

Death Threats and Intimidation of Public Officials Will Linger After Trump
Shelley Inglis, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Shelley Inglis* *Politics, The Americas* Engagement in public life in the U.S. has always carried risk, with public officials of both parties, journalists and even movie stars often the target of death threats and intimidation.

The Myth of the Superiority of Reason
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 22 hours ago
There are no grounds to believe that the people who profess to believe in the supremacy of reason will be more efficient and benign in the exercise of power than those who believe in the dictatorship of the proletariat. Those who possess political power also possess the tools for promoting themselves as the men of reason who are expert in everything and, therefore, deserve to be obeyed by all. Thus, a dictatorship of the proletariat can easily be promoted as a rule of the infallible men of reason, and that is how it happened in the Soviet Union. By virtue of being the fountainhead o...
