Trump’s push for war with Iran is driven not by strategy, but by political survival—a desperate attempt to silence critics.

Syria is a state in name only: no army, no police, no sovereignty; the Sweida massacre proves the government cannot control its own forces.

The crises in Yemen, Somalia, and Sudan are one: the collapse of the state along the Red Sea’s shores.
