A dynamite film, but a house of cards on nuclear reality
Three years ago, when I was serving at the US National Security Council, we were faced with a nuclear crisis. As Bob Woodward described it in his book War, the Intelligence Community assessed that if Russian forces were facing a collapse in Ukraine, the probability that they would use tactical nuclear weapons was a coin flip. We had been working hard for months to deter Russian nuclear use and we also developed plans for what we would do if those efforts failed.
Ukraine Without America
Last week, the world witnessed a contentious, on-camera Oval Office confrontation between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, U.S. President Donald Trump, and U.S. Vice President JD Vance. What began as a relatively standard exchange quickly escalated into an unprecedented public dispute. Yet when stripped of emotion, these core disagreements have been clear for some time: must Ukraine accept ending the war no matter the terms, or does it have the ability to influence them?
Thanatos: The Death Drive in Psychoanalysis, Philosophy, and Neuroscience
Thomas Wright · Follow 5 min read · -- The concept of Thanatos, or the death drive, was first introduced by Sigmund Freud in Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1920) as a fundamental, unconscious force that compels living beings toward aggression, destruction, and ultimately, death. Freud saw this as opposing Eros, the life drive, which fosters survival, reproduction, and unity.
The concept of conscience, explored in both Eastern and Western philosophies, reflects humanity’s deep concern with inner moral guidance. While Western thought often frames conscience as an internal voice, divine imprint, or rational guide, Eastern tradit
Western Perspectives on Conscience Socrates’ Daemon • Socrates’ daemon was an inner voice or divine guide that restrained him from wrongdoing, though it never commanded him positively. This negative moral compass served as a warning system, highlighting a connection between human reason and higher moral truth. • The daemon is a personal, intuitive guide that engages rational self-awareness to navigate ethical dilemmas, suggesting that conscience is both individual and universally connected.

The Center Cannot Hold
Before the COVID-19 pandemic began, Washington was coalescing around a new bipartisan consensus: great-power competition, especially with China, ought to be the main organizing principle of U.S. foreign policy.

Guest opinion: Helping Utah’s public education system recover should be top priority
Utah’s schools have now been closed for three weeks, and in that short amount time we’ve asked our public education system to make incredible changes. Our physical classrooms are empty, but our Google and Zoom classrooms are full. Our lunchrooms aren’t open, but you can still grab a meal to go. Our buses aren’t delivering students to school, but they are delivering food and supplies to our families.

Why America Can’t Withdraw From the World
For seven decades, U.S. grand strategy was characterized by a bipartisan consensus on the United States’ global role.

Today, that consensus has broken down.
Now we must set sights on the G7
Scott Morrison had a successful visit to Washington last week. It is no mean feat for an Australian prime minister to be the guest of honour at a state dinner at the White House – let alone so soon after taking office, and with this particular President. Perhaps Donald Trump was predisposed to like Morrison. After all, Trump likes conservatives, he likes winners, and he likes people who like him.

Whether they’re putting a property on the market or looking to buy their next home, they’re preparing to make a potentially momentous transaction. I’ve been helping clients sell and purchase homes throughout the Salt Lake City area for almost 20 years.

Pompeo Whitewashes North Korea's Human Rights Record
Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty Images Washington And The World The U.S. government shouldn’t deal with Kim Jong Un like he’s just another leader. He’s a tyrant, and should be treated accordingly. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was recently asked why the Trump administration was engaging North Korea in nuclear talks without preconditions but had imposed no less than 12 conditions before it would negotiate a new nuclear deal with Tehran?
Donald Trump's Administration Is No Longer Divided on Foreign Policy
It has become a commonplace to describe the foreign policy of U.S. President Donald Trump as unpredictable. But doing so mischaracterizes the man and the policy.
