Hillary Clinton will likely be as pro-innovation as President Obama

In a crazy political year, it's one of the crazier questions out there: Is the hard-line leader of America's historic enemy trying to get Republican candidate Donald Trump elected president? Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have exchanged compliments and suggested their two countries could become closer if Trump is elected. Democrats are warning that Putin is trying to influence the election in Trump's favor, something Trump explicitly invited before explaining he was just being sarcas

Stalin? Whodat???
(Scott Johnson) I think the study of ancient history begins with the advent of the first Clinton administration in 1993 or so. As we all know, and as former Latin students might say, ancient history has fallen into desuetude. I think this may explain the finding reported in Jamie Gregora's Daily Signal story "This is the percentage of millennials who believe George W. Bush killed more people than Stalin." I'm sure millennials

The Game of Alliances
Much like physics, international relations can be divided into two worlds: a stripped-down, normative world of theory, and a full-fat, often unclear and contradicting "real life." Like the vacuumed, frictionless world of ideal physics, IR theory streamlines nations into hyper-rational, calculating "State As" and "State Bs" that make decisions predicated upon game theory modeling. These choices always result in the ideal outcome for one or both sides. Meanwhile, IR scholarship of the historical record, analyzing the messiness of the real world, is often content merely to explain how things are, rather than how they should be. Where an IR theory elegantly traces ideal models that vaguely echo real life, pure historical analysis steals bits and pieces of disparate theories to graft a sometimes-contradicting "model" onto the real world.

Philippine tilt towards China is latest fruit of Obama's foreign policy
(Paul Mirengoff) It hasn't gotten much attention, but the embrace of China by the Philippines, and its renunciation of the United States, is the latest in the long, sorry series of major foreign policy setbacks we have suffered under President Obama. In a state visit to China, Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte announced his country's military and economic "separation" from the United States. He stated: America has lost now. I've realigned myself in

Trump's Gettysburg Address? He's Off-Message!
(John Hinderaker) When the focus is on issues, Donald Trump wins. When the focus is on collateral nonsense, Hillary Clinton wins. So our liberal media have desperately tried to deflect attention away from the vital issues that separate the parties and the candidates, and toward a succession of critiques of Donald Trump's personality. Sometimes Trump has enabled this, as with his four-day feud with the Khan family. But it no longer matters.

Clues to a Mystery
(John Hinderaker) Europe is being roiled by a populist uprising against a gigantic wave of immigration from the Middle East. More than a million "refugees," the vast majority of them young men, have swarmed into Europe from Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and other Islamic countries. In days gone by, if large numbers of young men wanted to move into a foreign country, they had to be armed. No longer. Most Europeans are unhappy
