American Strategy on the Brink
American Strategy on the Brink
The Eurasian rimland is nigh-ablaze. The Middle East sits on the brink of large-scale war, which will not end absent a fundamental regional reorganization, and an enormous amount of human suffering inflicted upon Jew, Arab, and Persian alike.

War Between Israel and Hezbollah Is Now Inevitable
War Between Israel and Hezbollah Is Now Inevitable

It is likely that there is going to be a war between Hezbollah and Israel within the next six to eight months.

So, either Nasrallah will order his forces north to the Litani River, or the IDF will force them back. Hezbollah will resist because that is what it purports to do—and what better way to burnish its tattered domestic credentials? It is unlikely there is any way to hold off war now.
