The United States of America considers military presence around the world as one of the key tools for ensuring national interests. The Pentagon has a huge amount of military bases and various facilities outside the national territory in more than 30 countries. Besides, US military instructors carry out training missions for local armed units of dozens of foreign states while the US special operations forces operate in more than 80 countries. The maintenance and expansion of military facilities network as well as conducting operations abroad in 2018 will cost the US taxpayer $89 billion, $23.2 billion more than the year before. However, financing global military presence isn’t the main challenge the US DoD is facing. A much more complicated task is to bring the foreign units to strength with physically and mentally healthy personnel as by September 2018 the Pentagon needs to enlist over 80,000 volunteers. Meanwhile, last year’s bar of 69,000 recruits was achieved with great difficulty. Continue reading “The Price of US Global Dominance – Numerous Human Losses”

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!

And grace my fears relieved;

The hour I first believed. Continue reading “Amazing Grace – just as good to read as sing”
A federal appeals court in Illinois ruled Thursday the Trump administration could not withhold public safety grants from cities solely because those cities had so-called “sanctuary” policies protecting illegal immigrants.
The decision by a three-judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago said the administration exceeded its authority in establishing a new condition for cities to qualify for the grants. It upheld a temporary injunction issued by a lower court judge this past September. Continue reading “Federal court rules against Trump’s sanctuary city crackdown efforts”

Iran now effectively has political and military control of four countries: Afghanistan, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen, emboldened by the signing, and then the weak enforcement of the Iran Nuclear Deal. Iran’s Quds Force has successfully trained, equipped and funded its previously beleaguered terror proxies in Hezbollah and Hamas. Within 18-36 months, Iran will be able to hit our allies in the Middle East and Europe with nuclear-armed missiles. For the past 10 years, Iran has been on the march and the West has been on the run.
