Stupidity researchers: Trump’s policies not just dumb but stupid
Before he stepped down as Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau called Donald Trump’s tariff policies “very dumb.” This might be an accurate description of many Trump administration policies — but the more objectively correct word is “stupid.” In fact, Québec’s largest newspaper, Le Journal de Montréal, published a front-page photo of Trump in early February […]

Australians hate Trump’s policies and distrust US: poll
Australians strongly disagree with key policies of US President Donald Trump, and have overwhelmingly lost trust in the United States to act responsibly in the world, according to the Lowy Institute’s 2025 poll. Despite this, 80% of people say the alliance is “very” or “fairly” important for Australia’s security, only fractionally down on last year’s […]

Detained on arrival: Why US is no longer safe for tourists
The United States is one of the top three most visited countries in the world. The big draw cards – cities such as San Francisco, New York and Chicago and national parks such as Yosemite – have attracted international tourists for decades. This combined with its role as a global business powerhouse meant it had […]

Thawing Arctic heats up US-Russia imperialist instincts
“You cannot annex another country.” This was the clear message given by the Danish prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, at a recent press conference with the outgoing and incoming prime ministers of Greenland. It did not appear aimed at Russian president Vladimir Putin, but at Donald Trump, the president of one of her country’s closest allies, […]

Great Game On: Shining light on the contest for Central Asia
The Founding Fathers advised Americans to steer clear of entangling alliances if they wished to preserve their newly acquired Republic. This may be news to some of our politicos but not to President Donald Trump. No US president has been leerier of the interventionist foreign policy bequeathed to us by Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt […]

Trump’s Sino-Russia split bid likely to backfire
Is the US angling for a repeat of the Sino-Russian split? In an October 31, 2024, interview with right-wing pundit Tucker Carlson, President Donald Trump argued that the United States under Joe Biden had, in his mind erroneously, pushed China and Russia together. Separating the two powers, he said, would be a priority of his […]

1930s tech bros wanted to merge the US, Canada and Greenland
A movement that wanted to merge North America into one nation and extend its borders as far as the Panama Canal might sound incredibly familiar. But this group, called the “technocracy movement,” was a group of 1930s nonconformists with big ideas about how to rearrange US society. They proposed a vision that would get rid […]

Losing the war of wedges
While US President Donald Trump is talking to his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, he’s also engaging with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping. The American strategy is to drive a wedge between the two leaders and turn them against each other. The goal could be to have Russia turn against China and thus force Beijing to […]

Trump’s firings a shot to the heart of US armed forces
President Donald Trump gave no specific reason for firing General Charles Q Brown Jr as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff less than halfway through Brown’s four-year term in office. Nor did he give an explanation for similarly ousting other senior military leaders, including the only women ever to lead the Navy and […]
