3 of 7 unpacks why Greenland has moved to the center of global attention: a mix of historical claims, Cold War-era bases, NORAD radar positioning, and the strategic pathway for intercontinental missiles. They trace American interest from WWII through Truman to Trump's public mentions and the island's continued military relevance. The episode also explores Greenland's natural wealth — lithium, rare earths, uranium and other minerals under the ice — and how those deposits factor into a tech-driven resource race with China and Russia. A major segment examines “Praxis” and venture-backed proposals (linked to figures like Peter Thiel and tech leaders) to build libertarian smart cities or testing grounds in sparsely populated areas, and why Greenland has been touted as an ideal site. Key takeaways: Greenland's importance is both military and economic; private tech capital and political maneuvering are accelerating interest; environmental, ethical and sovereignty questions complicate any acquisition; and the conversation ties into larger themes about future governance, consolidated power, and global competition.

Imagine this: I'm sitting in my Washington D.C. studio, coffee in hand, watching the Supreme Court building gleam under a crisp winter sun, and I can't shake the feeling that the highest court in the land is about to drop some seismic rulings on President Donald Trump. Over the past few days, the buzz has been electric, especially with SCOTUSblog reporting on January 28 that the justices are set to huddle in their private conference on February 20 to decide whether to dive into that infamous five-million-dollar verdict from Trump's clash with E. Jean Carroll.Let me take you back. Carroll, the veteran journalist who penned Elle magazine's advice column for 27 years, sued Trump in 2022 under a special New York state law that reopened the window for adult sexual abuse victims to file claims. She accused him of assaulting her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in Manhattan back in 1996, and then defaming her in a 2022 Truth Social post where he branded her story a hoax and a con job. A federal jury in May 2023 sided with her, hitting Trump with liability for sexual abuse and defamation, awarding her that five-million-dollar payout. Trump appealed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, which upheld it in December 2024 and shot down his rehearing bid in June 2025. Now, his team from the James Otis Law Group—led by his solicitor general D. John Sauer—is begging the Supreme Court to step in, calling the suit facially implausible and politically timed to hurt him after he became the 45th president. They want out key evidence: testimonies from Jessica Leeds, who claims Trump groped her on a plane in 1979, and Natasha Stoynoff, alleging assault at his Mar-a-Lago home in 2005, plus that infamous Access Hollywood tape where Trump boasted about grabbing women. Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, fires back that even without those, her case stands strong, so the Supremes should pass.But that's just one front. The court's January argument calendar, released late last year, packs a punch with Trump cases testing his executive muscle. On January 21, they heard Trump v. Cook, where President Trump tried firing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook over mortgage fraud allegations from before her tenure. U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb in D.C. blocked it with a preliminary injunction in September 2025, citing the Federal Reserve Act's for-cause protection. The D.C. Circuit and Supreme Court denied emergency bids to oust her fast, but now it's full showdown—Cook's rep, ex-Solicitor General Paul Clement, versus Sauer. Wikipedia details how this sparked a historic brawl over Fed independence, with Cook's team calling it a political smear.Then there's the shadow docket drama from 2025, as News4JAX outlined this week: Trump's admin won over 80 percent of emergency pleas, greenlighting moves like slashing foreign aid, axing agency heads, and tying immigration probes to looks or language. But they drew the line at deploying National Guard to Chicago. Chief Justice John Roberts' year-end report subtly defended judicial independence, dubbing courts a counter-majoritarian check amid Trump's judge-bashing.Looking ahead, per News4JAX and KIMA Action News clips from early January, 2026 looms huge: birthright citizenship challenges under the 14th Amendment, sweeping tariffs from Trump's 2025 executive orders—argued November 5, decision pending—and more Fed firing fights. Illinois alone filed 51 suits against his policies by January, per WTTW. Lawfare's tracker logs the national security lawsuits piling up. With Trump's approval dipping to 42 percent, experts whisper the conservative court might now clip his wings, echoing rebukes to Truman, Nixon, and others late in term.These battles aren't just legal—they're reshaping power between White House, Congress, and the robes. As SCOTUSblog notes, decisions could land soon after February 20 conferences, maybe by March.Thanks for tuning in, listeners.

In the eight decades since the United States deployed the most destructive weapon ever used, conventional wisdom has held that American leaders were faced with a difficult choice: Invade Japan, which would have cost millions of Japanese and Allied lives in bloody combat or use the fearsome atom bomb in the hopes of convincing the Japanese emperor to surrender. President Truman—in what many have come to regard as an immoral decision—ordered the military to drop the bomb. Today’s guest is Alex Wellerstein, author of The Most Awful Responsibility: Truman and the Secret Struggle for Control of the Atomic Age. Wellerstein offers a more complex and nuanced portrayal of Truman, showing a president entangled in secrecy, rushing against time, and operating with limited information. Contrary to the long-held belief that Truman was the decisive force behind the bombings, this book reveals how he was largely unacquainted with the specifics of Hiroshima and Nagasaki's targeting until after the fact. Wellerstein explains how there was no formal decision to use the bomb, nor did President Truman likely know that Hiroshima or Nagasaki were heavily populated cities. Once the bombs were dropped, Truman began a years-long struggle for control of the awesome power of atomic weapons, the ramifications of which are still felt today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our first guest today is Josh Hammer, senior editor-at-large at Newsweek, host of The Josh Hammer Show, and author of Israel and Civilization: The Fate of the Jewish Nation and the Destiny of the West. Josh explores America's long-standing interest in Greenland, dating back to the Lincoln and Truman administrations. While Denmark maintains limited authority over the territory, NATO oversees much of Greenland's day-to-day security—and with the United States serving as the backbone of NATO, Josh explains how this history and reality help frame President Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland. Josh also weighs in on the war in Ukraine, examining possible timelines for its conclusion. He argues that it is in America's best interest for Ukraine to remain independent, and notes President Trump's consistent position that the priority must be reducing bloodshed while continuing to support Ukraine. Our second guest is John Trobough, a candidate for Arizona's First Congressional District. John is running for Congress because he believes our nation is at a crossroads, and Arizona has a unique opportunity to lead—but only if we elect leaders who genuinely care. As the epicenter of the next-generation economy, Arizona may not replace Silicon Valley, but it has the potential to become the "Silicon Desert." John joins us to discuss the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, why it's critical that we get ahead of it, and how we can ensure innovation and economic growth truly benefit Arizona's economy. Comedian and writer Lou Perez joins us to talk about his recent piece, "Police Bodycams: The Left's Biggest Self-Own." Lou explores the irony that police body cameras—originally demanded by anti-police activists—have ultimately done more to undermine that movement than anything else. He also discusses his book, "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore: On the Death and Rebirth of Comedy," where he examines how humor has been shaped by woke culture. Lou argues that for years, comedians trying to push back against Donald Trump often relied on the same recycled jokes, which ultimately opened the door for a new wave of comics willing to tackle topics others were afraid to touch.
“If in 10 years, all American troops stationed in Europe for national defense purposes have not been returned to the United States, then this whole project [NATO] will have failed.” -General of the Army Dwight Eisenhower, February, 1951 The Greenland debacle is bringing the NATO relationship into better focus on just how bad the EU/SSR has become. America should take a non-interventionist pause and get its internal house in order before standing astride the world again and lighting fires that never go away and continuously make things worse. The US a deep history in Greenland: 1867: Andrew Johnson: explored buying Greenland & Iceland (right after Alaska). WWII: FDR: U.S. took over Greenland's defense while Denmark was occupied. 1946: Truman: offered $100M in gold to buy it. Cold War: Eisenhower → Kennedy: nonstop negotiations for bases, radar, missiles. Post–Cold War: Clinton/Bush/Obama: expanded Arctic security & missile defense. 2019: Trump said publicly what presidents discussed privately for 150+ years. The U.S. didn't “suddenly” want Greenland. It's been defending it, negotiating it, and embedding there since the 1800s. Greenland = Arctic power, shipping lanes, missiles, minerals, and bases. Trump didn't invent it. He said the quiet part out loud. There is a realpolitik logic to the concerns. Stop the madness.

In his rambling mess of a speech at Davos, Trump confused Iceland and Greenland, and demonstrated that he doesn't understand how NATO works. The infamous draft-dodger also seemed to call Truman and Eisenhower "stupid" for not just taking Greenland after WWII. Nevertheless, his threat to somehow get the island is undermining our international rules-based order. Plus, the secret, imperfect alliance in Congress that is blocking anti-trans legislation, the growing Dem opposition to the DHS funding bill, and the need to fight the trust deficit in the country —and the anger-tainment that is driving it.Delaware's Rep.

Dropping the atomic bombs on Japan during World War II was, arguably, the most controversial decision of the 20th century. The responsibility for that “decision” has logically fallen on US President Harry S. Truman. But in The Most Awful Responsibility: Truman and the Secret Struggle for Control of the Atomic Age (Harper, 2025), Alex Wellerstein argues that Truman's actual decision wasn't what everyone thinks it was. The conventional narrative is that American leaders had a choice: Invade Japan, which would have cost millions of Allied and Japanese lives, or instead, use the atom bomb in the hope of convincing Japan to surrender. Truman, the story goes, carefully weighed the pros and cons before deciding that the atomic bomb would be used against Japanese cities, as the lesser of two evils. But nuclear historian Alex Wellerstein argues that is not what happened. Not only did Truman not take part in the decision to use the bomb, but the one major decision that he did make was a very different one — one that he himself did not fully understand until after the atomic bomb was used. The weight of that decision, and that misunderstanding, became the major reason that atomic bombs have not been used again since World War II. Based on a close reading of the historical record, The Most Awful Responsibility shows that, despite his reputation as an ardent defender of the atomic bomb, Truman: Wanted to avoid the “murder” and “slaughter” of innocent civilians Believed that the atomic bomb should never be used again Hoped that nuclear weapons would be outlawed in his lifetime Wellerstein makes a startling case that Truman was possibly the most anti-nuclear American president of the twentieth century, but his ambitions were strongly constrained by the domestic and international politics of the postwar world and the early Cold War. This book is a must-read for all who want to truly understand not only why the bomb was dropped on Japan but also why it has not been used since. Dr. Andrew O. Pace is a historian of the US in the world who specializes in the fog of war. He is currently a DPAA Research Partner Fellow at the University of Southern Mississippi and a co-host of the Diplomatic History Channel on the New Books Network.

[School of Movies 2026] Truman Burbank lives a charmed existance, residing on a little island town that is distinctly old fashioned and twee. In reality, Truman's every movement is being broadcast to the viewing planet, and has been since his infancy. But Truman is beginning to suspect something is up, and his unseen father figure Christoph (compellingly played by Ed Harris) is working hard to restore the show to its comforting routine. A surprisingly abiding dramatic sci-fi classic from the late 90s and one of Jim Carrey's finest (and least irritating) performances. This movie is somehow more relevant today in the era of parasocial fixation on people who broadcast their lives all day and night, than it was in the late 90s when this wasn't possible. And welcome back to the show, Ryan Estrada, our man in South Korea who has a special attachment to this multilayered film: www.ryanestrada.com Guest: Ryan Estrada Next Week: The Shawshank Redemption
HERE'S A PODCAST FROM A YEAR AGO - 2025... LAST YEAR'S Happy New Year! Well no time like the present to kick off the new year with a mind bending podcast courtesy of Jennifer Shaffer and Rich Martini. Jennifer's web page JenniferShaffer.com has links to her "Uncorked" events, or to book with her directly, RichardMartini.com is where one can book a guided meditation with Rich. So the other day in my kitchen (and I don't know why it's the case, but I sometimes get a message or feeling there that someone wants to talk to us) President Jimmy Carter popped into my head. It of course could have been because he'd just passed away - but I try not to judge why someone shows up, or if someone shows up. I just leave it aside, and see what happens when we start the podcast. And as we often do, I left it up to our moderator on the Flipside, Luana Anders to suggest the topic for the day. And she told Jennifer: "Richard has someone who spoke to him yesterday." Which is accurate. And just prior to the podcast - literally a minute before, I remembered that happened, and I looked up Jimmy on Wikipedia so at the very least I had some of his background correct. as it is - at some point I call the King of England before Elizabeth "Edward" when everyone knows that's not her father's name. But Jennifer didn't say his name - just pointed out that she was seeing him when Winston Churchill showed up. (For historians out there, the story of Winston sleeping in the White House and seeing a ghost is old news.) As noted, when over the past ten years we have someone Presidential show up (We've had all chats with Hoover, FDR, Truman, JFK, Nixon, Reagan, Bush Sr.. and folks associated with the Presidency - Abe Lincoln, Mary Todd Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, RFK, John McCain - those interviews are in the books BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE (books 1, 2 and 3). Some of them are searchable on the podcast - Abe, JFK, RFK, etc... but it wasn't surprising what Jimmy said about seeing Reagan on the flipside, how McCain stopped by - and the legions of people who loved him were there to greet him. Interesting that he said Rosalyn was "with him" frequency wise - he spoke about the regrets he had from his life (associated with war) and the things he was proudest of. I asked him a question about a film project I've been working on - something only he would know about, the land case in Maine. Fun to hear him say it's a story "that should be told." He also talked briefly about people off planet - since he saw a UFO back in 1969, and says that the kinds of work they're doing are benevolent... nothing to fear. The same kind of things I've heard in the research behind CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE FLIPSIDE KIND. We asked him who he was surprised to see - and he mentioned Winston Churchill and Elvis - who was friends with him. Paul Newman showed up - I wasn't aware of their friendship, but Jimmy talked about Paul's food charity work, and we asked Paul some questions about his journey, including what it was like to welcome his wife Joanne Woodward home. (Joanne is still on the planet, but has Alzheimers - from the research, multiple conversations with people offstage, our loved ones who have dementia are "90% already home" - so it's normal for them to interact with each other. As my friend's father Jack Tracey told us in his last weeks of being here, "It's like leaving a leg in the pool." I didn't mean to imply she is gone - just was asking him what it was like to see her "higher self" on the flipside.) So while one is watching the nation mourn this President, while the nation has a funeral for him, honoring him and his service, be aware that he hasn't disappeared or is gone: he's just not here. Available. Like everyone is. Hope this helps. WE'LL BE BACK NEXT WEEK!

A FLAWED TRIBUNAL: INCOMPETENT PROSECUTORS AND CRANKY JUDGES Colleague Professor Gary J. Bass. The tribunal, involving nine Allied nations, suffered from personnel issues driven by President Truman'scronyism. Unlike the selection of Robert Jackson for Nuremberg, Truman appointed Joseph Keenan, an undistinguished and alcoholic figure, as chief prosecutor. Keenan was intellectually outclassed by the international judges and failed to match the gravity of the proceedings. The trial, spanning two and a half years and 50,000 pages of transcripts, was presided over by the Australian Sir William Webb. Webb's abrasive management style and "crankiness" alienated his colleagues and favored the prosecution, undermining the appearance of a fair trial. NUMBER 41933 TOKYO
TRUMAN INHERITS A WORLD WAR AND THE BURDEN OF JUDGMENT Colleague Professor Gary J. Bass. Following the sudden death of Franklin D. Roosevelt in April 1945, Harry Truman assumed the presidency with little preparation regarding foreign policy or the situation in Asia. While Truman possessed combat experience from World War I, his understanding of China and Japan relied heavily on stereotypes and idealism rather than briefing. Confronted immediately with the bloody Battle of Okinawa and the devastation of the firebombing of Tokyo, Truman upheld the Allies' demand for unconditional surrender. This policy necessitated stripping Japan of its empire and trying its leadership, despite growing private concerns among some US officials that American strategic bombing might equate to war crimes.

u/Steelcan909 and u/restricteddata, better known as Alex Welelrstein, discuss the relationship of President Harry Truman and the atomic bombs. Dr. Wellerstein charts Truman's first encounters with nuclear technology, through the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and finally up to the Korean War. Was Truman as anti-nuclear as is often portrayed? Was MacArthur as gung-ho for the bomb? Find out! 76min.
Happy New Year! Tune in as Guy Bradford (Jesters of Ravenloft: A D&D Podcast) hops back onto the podcast for this first episode of 2026 in order to break down The Truman Show, the 1998 psychological comedy-drama film about an insurance salesman who comes to realize he's been the unwitting star of a reality TV program that uses instruments like hidden cameras and paid actors to manufacture and broadcast his life 24/7. All the gaslighting that Truman endures, an old way of “de-aging” actors, the blatant capitalism of this TV program, and the gorgeous score's ability to adjust the tone of the movie comprise a few of the topics for this episode.Directed by Peter Weir, The Truman Show stars Jim Carrey, Laura Linney, Noah Emmerich, Natascha McElhone, Ed Harris, Holland Taylor, Paul Giamatti, Brian Delate, Harry Shearer, Peter Krause, and Heidi Schanz.Spoilers start at 26:50Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastrHere's how you can learn more about Palestine and IsraelHere's how you can keep up-to-date on this genocideHere's how you can send eSIM cards to Palestinians in order to help them stay connected onlineGood Word:• Guy: Bugonia• Arthur: 28 Days LaterReach out at email2centscritic@yahoo.com if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!Be sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes or any of your preferred podcasting platforms!Follow Arthur on Twitter, Goodpods, StoryGraph, Letterboxd, and TikTok: @arthur_ant18Follow Arthur on Bluesky: @arthur-ant18Follow the podcast on Twitter: @two_centscriticFollow the podcast on Instagram: @twocentscriticpodFollow Arthur on GoodreadsCheck out 2 Cents Critic Linktree
Alex Wellerstein’s The Most Awful Responsibility: Truman and the Secret Struggle for Control of the Atomic Age challenges standard preconceptions of President Harry Truman’s role in using nuclear weapons. It goes on to trace Truman’s role in developing policy around nuclear weapons, including civilian control and sole authority. It’s an important book. Truman was faced with an utterly new situation that he knew little about. It’s easy for us to forget that there was a time when nuclear weapons didn’t exist. Alex gives a picture of when that changed. There are lessons for today. Rob Farley and I interviewed Alex last week. Alex talks about how he came to the subject and Roosevelt’s irresponsibility.

Start with humility, move with courage, and aim for liberty that actually lasts. That's the arc we trace as we connect the dots between personal faith, public authority, and the conditions that make freedom possible. We open in prayer for leaders, families, teachers, and first responders, then press into the central claim: a society that banishes God from public life cannot keep the fruits of peace, safety, and liberty.From there, we lay out concrete steps. First, renewal starts at home and work: live openly under Christ's authority. Second, confront the civic framework that pushed faith to the margins by reassessing the legacy of Everson v. Board of Education and the way “separation” has functioned in practice. We revisit early American norms that expected public servants to be people of Christian conviction, arguing that character and creed shape public trust. Whether you agree fully or not, the challenge is clear: if freedom has a source, our laws and lives should reflect it.Scripture anchors the conversation. Proverbs 5 casts a hopeful vision for marriage as mutual joy and fidelity. Matthew 8 reminds us of the centurion who recognized true authority and trusted Christ's word without spectacle. Psalm 9 warns that nations that ignore God slide toward ruin, while Proverbs 3 offers a path back through trust, loyalty, and wisdom. We honor courage through the Medal of Honor story of Emmer Bowen at Vicksburg, and we revisit President Truman's 1945 Day of Prayer, where he credited God for victory and called the country to gratitude and a just peace.The throughline is simple and strong: order life under true authority, and freedom follows. Disregard the source, and even the best systems fray. If you find this conversation meaningful, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review to help others find the show.

What if your calendar is preaching a creed you never meant to adopt? We open with gratitude and a candid look at how easily entertainment and sports can drift from gift to god, stealing hours meant for Scripture, prayer, marriage, family, and neighbor. It's not a guilt spiral; it's an invitation to trade noise for nourishment and rebuild life on rock, not sand.Together we walk through Matthew 7 to test teachers and trends by their fruit and to measure our foundations before the storm hits. Psalm 9 meets modern anxiety with a fierce hope: God judges with justice, shelters the oppressed, and never ignores the cries of those who suffer. Proverbs 2 adds street-level wisdom, warning against flattering paths that lead to ruin and commending the hard but good road of integrity. These passages don't float above real life; they direct it—calling us to reorder our time, restore our homes, and strengthen our communities.History joins the conversation with the courage of Civil War Medal of Honor recipient Chester Bennett Bowen and President Truman's VE Day proclamation, a national moment of prayerful gratitude. Their stories remind us that character, sacrifice, and thanksgiving shape both people and nations. We keep it honest about failure and pride, then offer a simple guardrail: follow teachers only as they follow Christ. From there, the practices get practical—small shifts like a weekly media fast, shared prayer at the table, or serving someone in need—tiny hinges that swing big doors in a home.If this speaks to you, share it with a friend who could use a nudge toward solid ground.

POTSDAM, STALIN, AND THE COLD WAR Colleague Evan Thomas. At the Potsdam Conference, President Truman initially excluded Henry Stimson from meetings, favoring Jimmy Byrnes, who wanted to use the bomb to intimidate the Soviet Union. Truman wrote in his diary that the bomb would hit a purely military target, a claim Thomassuggests was a form of denial regarding the inevitable civilian deaths. Stimson urged Truman to trust the Soviets and share the weapon to prevent an arms race, but the administration ultimately chose to use the bomb as diplomatic leverage, foreshadowing the onset of the Cold War.

A 1964 speech by author John StormerA description of the book:None Dare Call It Treason is a careful compilation of facts from hundreds of Congressional investigations of communism and dozens of authoritative books on the communist-socialist conspiracy to enslave America. It dissects the failures of the Eisenhower Administration just as effectively as it details the blunders of Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy and Johnson. It documents the concurrent decay in America's schools, churches, and press which has conditioned the American people to accept 20 years of retreat in the face of the communist enemy. You won't finish None Dare Call It Treason without concluding that America is in serious trouble.Camp Constitution is a New Hampshire based charitable trust.

After nearly four decades of negotiations, sanctions, summits, threats, and backdoor channels, the United States has failed to stop North Korea's nuclear program which now has the capability to strike American cities with weapons of mass destruction. In Fallout: The Inside Story of America's Failure to Disarm North Korea (Yale UP, 2025), Joel S. Wit explains why US efforts to contain North Korea have not worked and gives readers a front-row seat to the policy debates, diplomatic deals, and secret talks between Washington and Pyongyang. Wit, a former State Department official, takes readers to the front lines of nuclear negotiations and recounts how perilously close the United States and North Korea have come, on various occasions, to nuclear confrontation. Based on more than three hundred interviews with officials in Washington, Beijing, and Seoul, as well as with the author's contacts in Pyongyang, this book chronicles how six American presidents have approached the problem of North Korea.Wit points to Barack Obama and Donald Trump as the two presidents most responsible for the failure to halt North Korea's march to build a nuclear arsenal, since it was under their successive tenures that Pyongyang acquired the ability to threaten every city in North America. Wit also offers an unparalleled portrait of Kim Jong Un that refutes his caricature as impulsive and illogical. Like his father and his grandfather, Kim is a ruthless despot but also a canny and informed negotiator determined to secure his dictatorship's future by exploring diplomacy or, failing that, by building a nuclear arsenal. Dr. Andrew O. Pace is a historian of the US in the world who specializes in the moral fog of war. He is currently a DPAA Research Partner Fellow at the University of Southern Mississippi and a co-host of the Diplomatic History Channel on the New Books Network. He is also working on his first book which examines the high price that the Roosevelt and Truman administrations were willing to pay in order to achieve total victory in World War II. He can be reached at andrew.pace@usm.edu or via his website. Andrew is not an employee of DPAA, he supports DPAA through a partnership.

The altar ornament and Mr. Truman reminds us of Elijah's showdown on Mount Carmel. God sent fire from heaven to show He alone is God. Elijah called people back to the Lord—but Jesus is the true and better Elijah who brings hearts to life through His Spirit.

The serpent ornament brings Mr. Truman to Numbers 21, where God healed His people when they looked at the bronze serpent lifted high. Jesus uses this moment to explain His own mission: He would be lifted up on the cross to save all who trust in Him. On the Jesse Tree, each sign points us to Jesus.

Daniel Zoughbie discusses Kicking the Hornet's Nest: U.S. Foreign Policy in the Middle East from Truman to Trump, arguing that Truman's one-sided recognition of Israel and decades of U.S. overreliance on defense distorted the region's trajectory. He traces missed off-ramps from Oslo to the Olmert–Abbas talks, explaining why partition remains the only durable framework for satisfying both nationalisms. Zoughbie recounts how polarization, trauma, and mistrust—along with U.S. missteps—undermine peace efforts even when viable plans emerge. Plus: Biden's rejected immigration tools, the inflation legacy of the American Rescue Plan, and a Spiel on Zohran Mamdani as the mispronounced word of the year.

President Trump isn't playing games—he's made it crystal clear he's not sitting down with Putin or Zelensky until this peace deal is in its final stages. He's already sent his people to Moscow and Kyiv to iron out the last disagreements, and he says we're getting “very close.” Now, Ukraine is signaling they're ready to move forward, but even they admit the toughest issues have to be handled directly between Trump and Zelensky. After those intense talks in Geneva, Kyiv says they support the “essence” of the deal. Later, in classic Trump fashion, he takes the Thanksgiving turkey pardon—Gobble and Waddle spared—and turns it into a moment to hammer Democrats. He even joked that Biden's turkey pardons last year were “totally invalid” because of an autopen. And let's not forget, this turkey pardon tradition goes way back—Truman got the first bird in 1947, Kennedy offered clemency in '63, and it was George H.W. Bush in '89 who made the “presidential pardon” stick. He also renewed his call for federal intervention in Chicago, saying he could make the city safer in four to ten weeks if Governor Pritzker would let him deploy the National Guard.

Truman Takes Command: Unconditional Surrender and the Brutality of Final Battles Professor Gary Bass Harry Truman assumed the presidency unprepared for the war in Asia or foreign policy. He inherited the demand for unconditional surrender. The immense casualties at Okinawa terrified him about a ground invasion. Before the atomic bombs, US firebombing killed 210,000 Japanese, leading to warnings to Truman about "outdoing Hitler's atrocities." The Potsdam Declaration demanded "Stern justice" for war criminals.
Truman's "crony-like" approach led to the appointment of Chief Prosecutor Joseph Keenan, who was incompetent and struggled with alcoholism. Keenan was far inferior to Nuremberg's Robert Jackson. The trial transcript reached 50,000 pages over two and a half years. Chief Judge Sir William Webb was overly cranky and seemed to favor the prosecution, alienating the defense and other judges.
