“The time for questioning the election results has passed”

Washington D. C. (États-Unis) | 4 January 2021

As former secretaries of defense, we hold a common view of the solemn obligations of the U.S. armed forces and the Defense Department. Each of us swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. We did not swear it to an individual or a party. (…)

When I challenge the president, I do it directly. My anonymous colleague should have, too

by Nikki Haley

New York (USA) | 7 September 2018

We have enough issues to deal with in the world, so it’s unfortunate to have to take time to write this, but I feel compelled to address the claims in the anonymous “resistance” op-ed published this week in the New York Times. The author might think he or she is doing a service to the country. I (…)

by William H. McRaven

Washington D. C. (États-Unis) | 16 August 2018

Britain needs its allies to stand with us against Russia

by Boris Johnson

15 March 2018

We have a tradition in Britain that any town with a cathedral becomes a city. Salisbury won that title nearly 800 years ago, thanks to the magnificent cathedral that still dominates its streets.
So you can imagine Britain’s sense of revulsion – indeed of violation – over the fact that a (…)

by Donald Trump

Washington D. C. (États-Unis) | 29 April 2017

One hundred days ago, I took the oath of office and made a pledge: We are not merely going to transfer political power from one party to another, but instead are going to transfer that power from Washington, D.C., and give it back to the people.
In the past 100 days, I have kept that promise — (…)

Netanyahu’s reckless conduct endangers Israel

by Ehud Barak

Jaffa/Tel Aviv (Palestine/Israel) | 14 September 2016

During the past two years, a sense of gloom has taken over my country, as pride in Israel’s accomplishments and self-confidence grounded in reality have given way to fear-mongering, victimhood and internal quarrels.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu enabled a militant, nationalist minority to (…)

How America can counter Putin’s moves in Syria

by Condoleezza Rice , Robert M. Gates

Washington D. C. (États-Unis) | 8 October 2015

One can hear the disbelief in capitals from Washington to London to Berlin to Ankara and beyond.

by John F. Kerry , Susan Rice

Washington D. C. (États-Unis) | 15 December 2014

South Sudan’s leaders need to set aside their dispute

After Kobane, saving Aleppo

by Laurent Fabius

Paris (France) | 3 November 2014

Stopped at the last minute in Kobane, the terrorist group known in the Arab world as Daesh — we do not use Islamic State, because the group is neither truly Islamic nor a state — is dispatching its murderers to other points along the Syrian-Turkish border. And at the end of the road lies Aleppo, (…)

“Message to Musharraf”

by Jim Hoagland

3 February 2006

Down with the United States. Oh, wait a second! Thanks to the United States! We love them! No, wait. Where is the “Down with the United States” poster? What have they done for us lately? Pakistani crowds have taken to the streets again to denounce the American attacks against hidden terrorists (…)

“Can the “Prince” lead Israel?”

by David Ignatius

1 February 2006

Ehud Olmert has the reputation of being the prince of Israel’s policy, a privileged son of an important family who lacks the military experience of the generations that founded Israel. This irritates the Israelis a great deal, but regarding issues like the withdrawal from Gaza last year, the (…)
