West Must Break Russian Blockade to Get Grain out of Ukraine, Boris Johnson Tells G-7

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has called on Western leaders to take urgent action to break the Russian blockade and help Ukraine ship its grain exports out of the country. Ukraine, traditionally known as the “breadbasket of Europe,” used to supply 10 percent of the world’s wheat, 12–17 percent of the world’s maize, and half…


How Bad Will the Food Shortage Get?

May 2020, I, along with other experts, predicted that food disruptions and even famine could follow the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, that prediction appears to be coming true, as food shortages and sky-high prices will become a long-term thing by this fall. Don’t panic, just prepare.

Commentary Two weeks before the 2020 general election, on Oct. 21, 2020, Donald Trump issued an executive order (E.O. 13957) on “Creating Schedule F in the Excepted Service.” It sounds boring.

Iran’s Nuclear Bid Makes Hybrid Containment an Absolute Priority, Short of a War

Commentary News of Iran’s nuclear “belligerence” continues this month as Tehran announced it will blind 27 of its nuclear sites’ surveillance cameras after it was chastised by the UN nuclear watchdog for not answering questions pertaining to traces of uranium found at three undeclared sites.

Australia, United Kingdom, United States, and Now Japan?

Commentary I try to always call balls and strike fairly with the Biden Team.
