What If Hitler Never Invaded Russia During World War II?
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *History, Europe* This might be just the ultimate “what-if.” One of the most momentous decisions in history was Adolf Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941. Operation Barbarossa transformed Nazi Germany's war from a one-front struggle, against a weakened Britain and a still-neutral United States, into a two-front conflict. The Eastern Front absorbed as much as three-quarters of the German army and inflicted two-thirds of German casualties. So what would have happened if Hitler had not invaded Russia? The dynamics of the Third Reich and Hitler mea...
Palestine’s First Elections in 15 Years are No Gift to Joe Biden
Shlomo Roiter Jesner, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Shlomo Roiter Jesner* *Politics, Middle East* The calling for elections should not be seen as an attempt at garnering favor in the eyes of the new U.S. president, but quite differently, as a mechanism for Mahmoud Abbas to reassert dominance and ensure his position as the unequivocal leader of the Palestinian Authority. Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas’s January 15th announcement that elections would be taking place later this year for both the Palestinian Legislative Council and the presidency were met with great fanfare. If the elections take place as planned,...

Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 15 hours ago
Buoyed by President Joe Biden's announced decision to limit U.S. involvement in the Saudi-led war in Yemen, U.K. peace activists on Friday renewed calls for the British government to stop selling weapons to Saudi Arabia. The Stop the War Coalition called Biden's move "a welcome change to U.S. foreign policy," and the group's convener, Lindsey German, said that Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab should now follow his lead. German accused both Johnson and Raab of having "blood on their hands" in what the United Nations has called the world's worst hum...

Peter Greene, CURMUDGUCATION - 15 hours ago
Governor Tom Wolf has released his budget proposal, and charter supporters are not happy. This is not the first time Wolf has made the charter school industry sad. Back in the summer of 2019 he fired some shots across their bows with an aggressive agenda for fixing Pennsylvania's messed up charter funding system.
