Dmitry Trenin: The time for illusions is over. We are in a world war. Russia is directly engaged in Ukraine, holds stakes in the Middle East, and may become involved in the Pacific.

American foreign policy remains fundamentally adversarial. European powers like Britain, France, and Germany must be made to understand they are vulnerable. Their capitals are not immune. The same message should reach Finland, Poland, and the Baltics.

The only path forward is through bold, strategic action.

Tara Reade: The politicians in the US that should be serving the people are serving their pocketbooks and the corruption is off the roof.

Alexander Dugin: Some still cling to the illusion that World War III might somehow pass us by. It won't. We are already in the thick of it. The US has carried out a bombing strike against Iran – our ally. Nothing stopped them. And if nothing stopped them from bombing Iran, then nothing will stop them from targeting us next. At some point, they may decide that Russia, like Iran, shouldn't be allowed to possess nuclear weapons – or find some other pretext to strike. Make no mistake: we are at war.

If Iran falls, Russia is next. As new players enter the fray, the situation will evolve rapidly. China will try to stay out – for now. Until the first blow lands on them, too.

Trump thinks he can strike once – like he did with Soleimani – and then walk it back. But there's no walking this back. He has triggered a world war he cannot control, let alone win.

"Putin then called on Russian officials to not even 'touch upon' the subject of nuclear weapons unless absolutely necessary."

Mark Toth and Jonathan Sweet, Opinion Contributors: We are already in World War III. It does not look or feel like Hollywood said it would. Rather, this real-life version of World War III is far more insidious and deceptive. We are facing death by a thousand Russian and Chinese cuts around the globe, and the vast majority of the country remains unaware of our growing peril. Putin has placed his economy on a war footing. We have not. The Russian president knows that he has unleashed World War III. Biden seemingly does not — or at least, at a minimum, does not understand the magnitude of it.

Marilyn and Alan Bergman were like family, as well as brilliant lyricists.
We met over 60 years ago backstage at a little night club, and never stopped loving each other and working together.
Their songs are timeless, and so is our love.
May she rest in peace.
With love,

Wikipedia: Several ancient civilizations did consider the insect to have supernatural powers; for the Greeks, it had the ability to show lost travelers the way home; in the Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead, the "bird-fly" is a minor god that leads the souls of the dead to the underworld; in a list of 9th-century BC Nineveh grasshoppers (buru), the mantis is named necromancer (buru-enmeli) and soothsayer (buru-enmeli-ashaga). The earliest mantis fossils are about 140 million years old, from Siberia.
