The ultimate chemical weapon.

On April Fool’s Day, no less.

On the first of April, 1944, the United States committed an act of war against the nation of Switzerland.

Though it was April Fool’s Day, the citizens of the Swiss town of Schaffhausen found nothing funny about sixty tons of high explosive descending without warning on their heads.

It was bound to happen. This Syria dispute is virtually guaranteed to break up the Trump-Putin bromance. President Donald Trump’s openness to Putin has been the foreign policy thing that most separated him from the rest of Republicans. But Russia and the US are on opposite sides of so many issues that the White House […]

History could help Beijing.

A storm is gathering in the South China Sea, and it seems inevitable there will be a showdown between China and the United States over this vital global trade route. But the conflict is not just about power—it’s about the ideas that the two nations see as the heart of the heart of the international system they wish to uphold.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Before the U.S. attack on a Syrian air base, President Donald Trump accused his predecessor of doing nothing when Syria's government used chemical weapons against its population in 2013. Trump is right that President Barack Obama issued what amounted to an empty threat of military action. In a White House statement after what the Trump administration said was a bombing involving the nerve agent sarin in a rebel-held part of northern Syria: These heinous actions by the Bashar al-Assad...
