Austria tries paying migrants to leave. The results are mixed
Austria hasn’t been a nation which has been particularly welcoming to the flood of largely Muslim refugees and migrants who have been streaming into Europe. A couple of years ago when the crisis was really kicking into high gear (thanks to ISIS for the most part), Austrians responded in droves by purchasing every shotgun for […]

The battle for the rubble of Raqqa is underway
Three weeks into the allied assault on the ISIS capital of Raqqa, operations to surround the northern Syrian city are complete and street-by-street fighting has begun in the outskirts. The struggle to deny terrorists the symbolic capital of their self-proclaimed caliphate is likely to be hard-fought, bloody and prolonged. It pits an unknown number of […]
The Qatar ultimatum is pretty much dead on arrival
Remember back when Turkey was trying to mediate the dispute between Qatar and a block of Arab nations who cut all ties with them? (You shouldn’t have to stretch your memory too far. That was just yesterday.) Our own Secretary of State, in an undoubtedly well meaning attempt to resolve the crisis, essentially told the […]
The WSJ’s Embarrassing Adoration for MBS
The Wall Street Journal’s editorial on Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) is remarkably sycophantic even for them: The Yemen operation has been long and hard, but it has largely succeeded [bold mine-DL] in cutting off Iranian supplies to the Houthis and boosted the confidence of Arab states.
