Since the Arab Spring events began in 2011, Russia has been exceedingly active in the Middle East.

Return of Al-Qaeda
How did al-Qaeda, a tiny anti-Communist group in Afghanistan that had no more than 200 active members in 2001 become a supposed worldwide threat? How can al-Qaeda be all over the Mideast, North Africa, and now much of black Africa? This after the US spent over $1 trillion trying to […]

Egypt – a Pendulum of Chaos
What is happening in Egypt? Is the overthrow of the country’s Islamist president a symbol of American failure?

America’s Plan B in Egypt: Bring Back the Old Regime
