Putin’s problem: Zelensky has learned the art of Trump’s favor

2 days ago | washingtonexaminer.com | Tom Rogan

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine is learning how to better earn President Donald Trump’s favor. This puts Russian President Vladimir Putin in a more difficult position as Russia and Ukraine negotiate over a possible end to their now three-year war. Zelensky and Trump plainly do not like each other. One problem is that both men are arrogant.
How the US military guards against India-Pakistan nuclear war

6 days ago | washingtonexaminer.com | Tom Rogan

Tensions between longtime political, territorial, and ideological foes, India and Pakistan, are escalating. The current crisis began when Pakistan-based terrorists killed 26 Indian tourists in an April 22 attack in the disputed Jammu and Kashmir region. On Wednesday, India launched retaliatory air strikes against terrorists inside Pakistan that it blames for the attack. Pakistan then appears to have responded with drone attacks on Indian territory on Wednesday.
Germany and Marco Rubio are both wrong about AfD

The domestic intelligence service of Germany last week labeled “extremist” the political party that won the second-most seats in the Bundestag in February. The finding of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, or BfV, against the Alternative for Germany, or AfD, party will allow for significantly more intensive government surveillance of AfD.
Congress must speak out as Trump shreds US interests on Greenland

Sen. James Risch (R-ID), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, must speak more urgently against President Donald Trump’s escalating intimidation of the Danish territory of Greenland.
End temporary protected status for Salvadorans

1 week ago | washingtonexaminer.com | Tom Rogan

Recognizing dramatic and systemic improvements to El Salvador‘s security situation, the Trump administration should remove temporary protected status for Salvadorans living in the United States. Temporary protected status allows individuals without legal permission to live in the U.S. to reside and find employment in the country for a temporary period. TPS is traditionally granted to recognize the danger individuals face if deported immediately to their country of origin.
Iran terrorist threat underlined by significant UK arrests

1 week ago | washingtonexaminer.com | Tom Rogan

In a striking example of Iran’s continuing terrorist threat to the West, United Kingdom authorities arrested eight men in two separate operations on Saturday. The first operation saw five men, including four Iranians, detained in five different areas of England. They were arrested on suspicion that they intended to “target a specific premises.” Those premises have not been publicly identified but are understood to be related to the Jewish or Israeli community in London.
Prince Harry seeks Royal reconciliation by pondering when the King will die

1 week ago | washingtonexaminer.com | Tom Rogan

Prince Harry, formerly a British Army Apache gunship pilot and combat veteran, continued his subsequently tragic descent into whining ignominy on Friday. Harry told the BBC, “I can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the [United Kingdom] at this point.” Harry insisted “I love my country,” then added the whimsical epitaph, “… despite what some people in that country have done.” Harry then significantly escalated his feud with his British Royal Family.
Mike Waltz’s signal of Steve Witkoff’s ascendancy

1 week ago | washingtonexaminer.com | Tom Rogan

National security adviser Mike Waltz and his deputy, Alex Wong, resigned Thursday. Their departure, just 101 days into President Donald Trump‘s second term, provides two key insights into the Trump administration. First, it shows that Trump continues to have a very low appetite for actions that embarrass him. Second, it suggests that Trump wants a more ideologically natural partner to advise him on day-to-day national security matters. Waltz is both lucky and a little unlucky here.
As Navy prioritizes Middle East, China encircles Taiwan

1 week ago | washingtonexaminer.com | Tom Rogan

Determined to undermine the Trump administration’s military bolstering of Taiwan and the Philippines, China is emphasizing its ability to compress Taiwan in the event of war and its belief that it can successfully do so even in a direct confrontation with the U.S. military. Deployments close to Taiwan by the Chinese military are ratcheting up dramatically.
Trump is tough on strong Xi, but he’s weak on weaker Putin

2 weeks ago | washingtonexaminer.com | Tom Rogan

President Donald Trump adopts different strategies in dealing with the leaders of America’s two greatest adversaries. Where Trump embraces risky escalation regarding Xi Jinping’s China, he tends to apply great deference toward America’s less powerful adversary, Vladimir Putin’s Russia.

He also limited the paths that U.S. drones could take over the Black Sea to avoid confrontations with Russia. By contrast, even after Russia fired a missile near a British spy plane in 2022, the UK continued to send planes [up] with fighter escorts. https://t.co/UoFTZd9EE7
