Why U.S. Oil Dominance Doesn't Equal Energy Independence

What Happened The U.S. has achieved what many considered impossible just two decades ago—becoming the world’s largest oil producer and a net exporter of petroleum.

Why Trump's 'Board of Peace' Could Trigger the Next Middle East Crisis

The Peace That Isn’t While Trump spoke of “bringing lasting peace to the Middle East” at the inaugural Board of Peace meeting, satellite images revealed a different story. Over 40,000 additional U.S. troops were being deployed to bases across the Gulf region. Aircraft carriers were repositioning. Missile defense systems were going online.
