Just days after the death in an Arctic penal colony of Russia’s most prominent opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, embarked on a Latin American tour with the first stop in Cuba on Monday and scheduled visits to Venezuela and Brazil. Just like Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is believed to have never mentioned Navalny’s name publicly, it’s difficult to find any mention of the fierce Putin critic in Cuba’s state media, which did not report his death Friday ahead of Lavrov’s visit. Instead, Cuban official media outlets, controlled by the Communist...

There was a moment during a recent meeting between the Post-Dispatch Editorial Board and a high-ranking Israeli diplomat that provided some jolting clarity to the global debate over the war in Gaza. We noted during the discussion that, as a board, we have consistently supported Israel’s right to defend itself. “I appreciate that, but it’s part of the problem,” responded Maor Elbaz-Starinsky, Israeli consul general for the diplomatic subdivision that includes St. Louis. “Would you or anybody else … refer to any other country in the world [as having] the ‘right to defend themselves?’” he continu...

Can something positive emerge from the horrors of the Hamas terror attack on Oct 7. and the carnage caused by the Israel-Hamas war? This is the question that hovers over Gaza battlefields as Israel prepares to attack the city of Rafah, where Hamas leadership and Israeli hostages are hidden deep in underground tunnels, while 1 million Palestinian civilians huddle aboveground with nowhere safe to flee. The Biden administration, along with moderate Arab allies including Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Qatar believe the answer is yes — this war can spark a long-sought accord on a regional Arab-Israeli pea...

Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report letting President Joe Biden off the hook for his handling of classified documents dropped a bigger problem than a prosecution in the White House’s lap: a withering portrait of the 81-year-old commander-in-chief as a man whose elevator may not go all the way up. Hur makes clear that Biden’s mishandling of national secrets isn’t equivalent to Donald Trump’s. The former president went to great lengths not to cooperate with investigators; the current president cooperated fully. The former president asked others to destroy documents and then lie about it; the cur...

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley emphasized her ability to compete with President Joe Biden in a general election as she hit hard at both the incumbent Democrat and former Republican President Donald Trump during a rally in Lancaster County, South Carolina. Speaking at Indian Land High School Friday night as part of a campaign swing through the Palmetto State ahead of its primary on Feb. 24, Haley said she’s the only Republican left standing with a chance to win in the general election. “We can go with the same old thing or we can move forward. The same old thing is not just Joe Biden, t...

At the Kansas Republican Party’s annual convention in Overland Park on Saturday, Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign was nowhere to be found. Party activists proudly sported Make America Great Again hats and the Trump Store hosted a large booth selling sweatshirts, teddy bears and socks bearing former President Donald Trump’s name. It was as if Trump had already secured the nomination – not even a single Haley button or sign could be spotted. At the state committee meeting, party chairman Mike Brown announced the leaders of Trump’s campaign in Kansas – Brown’s wife Kristi Brown and former Gov....

Biden says US 'must respond' after drone strike President Joe Biden said on Sunday that the US "will respond" after an overnight drone strike in northeastern Jordan near the Syrian border killed three American troops and wounded dozens more. Biden blamed Iranian-backed militias for the first US deaths after months of attacks by such groups against American forces across the Middle East since the start of the Israel-Hamas war. Biden, who was travelling in South Carolina, asked for a moment of silence during an appearance at a Baptist church banquet hall. "We had a difficult day last night in th...

There is an even bigger threat to America’s global security in 2024 than the potential reelection of Donald Trump. Our democratic allies in Europe and Asia watch with grim fascination — and our Russian and Chinese adversaries with satisfaction — as uber-partisan U.S. politics paralyze the American government. Even more than fear of Trump, European leaders are openly voicing their worries about a superpower whose foreign policies are doomed to remain dysfunctional — no matter who wins in 2024. Washington constantly seems on a deadline to prevent a GOP-led government shutdown — including last we...

President Joe Biden was set to meet Wednesday with the top four congressional leaders from both parties as hepushes for an elusive deal to unlock billions in aid for embattled Ukraine and secure the southern border. House Speaker Mike Johnson will attend the White House meeting along with other top leaders. But he and his far right-wing Republican caucus have vowed to block any deal that does not rubber stamp their sweeping proposals for an extensive crackdown on illegal immigration. Many House GOP lawmakers also oppose more money to help Ukraine repel the Russian invasion that is nearing its ...

Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis Wednesday night clashed one-on-one in a final Republican debate before the Iowa caucuses in which they hoped to derail former President Donald Trump’s seemingly unshakable grip on the nomination. With each of them hoping to elbow out the other, Haley and DeSantis got their first chance to spar without the distraction of lower-performing candidates like verbal bomb thrower Vivek Ramaswamy and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who dropped out hours before the clash. It gave voters a more unvarnished look at the two main rivals to Trump. They wasted little time t...
