Trump's focus on ISIS reveals his ignorance

Donald Trump's accusation that President Obama and Hillary Clinton are "founders of ISIS" is not only a good example of his reckless fear-mongering but also his complete lack of understanding about true threats to national security.

Edelman: Trump, Putin on same page regarding Brexit

Let's begin with an assertion: Vladimir Putin does not have the United States' best interests at heart. It's fair to say that Putin believes what's bad for the U.S. is good for Russia. His actions in Ukraine, with Syrian despot Assad, and toward NATO all provide ample evidence that he is not our nation's friend. Putin is all for the breakup of the European Union; he sees weakening of economic, political and social stability of European democracies as a very good thing for Russia.

The U.S. needs Russia [Commentary]

The U.S. needs Russia. This may sound peculiar coming from a person who spent 25 years at the NSA, almost half of those fighting communism. But our approach to Russia since the end of the Cold War has been unimaginative and aggressive. Politicians in Washington put on their Cold-War glasses any time Russia makes noise. It's time to archive those in the Smithsonian.

Moscow's Achilles heel [Editorial]

Putin's point of view [Commentary]

The conventional view in Washington is that Mr. Putin is a belligerent authoritarian intent upon expanding Russia's borders and confronting the West. What the White House refuses to acknowledge, however, is that the Russian leader is simply acting in what he believes to be his country's best interest.
