I am in Spain for a month. Early indications are—beautiful, fulfilling, peaceful. In a region few reference, to see a city far from front pages, I'm happily getting to know a semi-rural landscape of red hills and pines like something from a dime-novel Western, with more of my Italian being convert...

Trump's first administration spanned a spectrum from a physical threat to a trade tyrant, and although some may have noted his rhetoric softening, especially regarding existing conflict zones, they have historical lessons to draw from.

Following Donald Trump's clinching of the presidential office for the next four years, spokesmen in nations for whom US foreign policy is an at-times existential matter have almost universally said they are content to wait and see what his next administration will bring. For leaders past and present...

Cities like Tugunbulak thrived and died off the trade along the Silk Roads—commerce so lucrative it could sustain medieval cities high in the mountains.

A pair of lost cities in the highlands of Uzbekistan recently found by archaeologists using lidar demonstrate that the bounty of the Silk Road trade was so lucrative, it allowed urban populations to flourish without agriculture to support them. Tugunbulak and Tashbulak were two mountain settlements....

The West's inability to secure their own interests on and off Israel's battlefields, and unwillingness to take any further actions when their interests are ignored, are becoming routine features of this genocidal conflict.

Throughout the assault on Gaza and the strip's civilian population, Western leaders have been accused of continuing to support Israel even after Tel Aviv has taken actions directly in opposition to their desired policies. Now, following the assassination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the same leader...

The everyday effects of sleep, exercise, heart rate, and mood—both good and bad—could linger in our brains for over two weeks, according to a pioneering study.

The everyday effects of sleep, exercise, heart rate, and mood—both good and bad—could linger in our brains for over two weeks, according to a pioneering study.

Serious provocations against the international organization have passed without penalty of any kind being imposed upon the rogue state.

In 1960, during the United Nations peacekeeping operations in the Congo, peacekeepers from Ireland came under heavy attack by local militias at a place called Jadotville.
