There’s a phrase that has defined global power for decades: Pax Americana. A Latin term meaning “American Peace,” it describes the era of global order shaped largely by the United States after World War II.

When One War Bleeds Into Another: Zelenskyy, the Middle East, and the Dangerous Slide Toward Global Escalation
There are moments in history where conflicts remain contained, tragic but localized, devastating but limited in scope.

Explosions, low-flying aircraft, sirens, screaming, the whole cheery package that humanity has absolutely nailed at this point in history.

The Mutual Control Delusion: Why It’s Not Just the U.S. Controlling Israel, but Israel Controlling the U.S. Too
For years, people have argued about who really “controls” whom — the United States or Israel. You’ll see this debate all over social media, in political discussions, even in academic circles. Some will swear up and down that Israel is nothing more than a puppet of the United States, dependent on American money, military support,Continue reading “The Mutual Control Delusion: Why It’s Not Just the U.S. Controlling Israel, but Israel Controlling the U.S. Too”
