Europe’s united front behind Zelensky is beginning to crack, and this time it is not because of money or weapons. It is because of history.

Some version of this plays out for women everywhere, every morning, before they get to their desks. Then…

Then those same powers gradually expand until everyone becomes a potential suspect. History never changes because governments never voluntarily surrender authority once they obtain it. The U.S. Supreme Court has now delivered one of the most important privacy decisions in years. In a 6-3 ruling, the Court held that law enforcement’s use of geofence warrants constitutes a search under the Fourth Amendment. Justice Elena Kagan wrote that people do not surrender their constitutional right to…

We are now entering a period of major global realignment, with 2032 marking a critical turning point. By 2028, the rising tide of conflicts will become unmistakable.
