The West’s Russia strategy should focus on stopping it softly, not on humiliating it.

There has been a dramatic uptick in Russian air incursions into Baltic states’ airspace. Putin is gradually testing the West, and so far it is paying off for him. But if he is wrong and goes too far, we have a proper geopolitical disaster on our hands.

The head of the Energy Information Administration said in a recent interview that without new supplies of American oil, supply disruptions abroad would have sent the price of oil skyrocketing by as much as 50 percent. As if we needed another reason to be thankful for the U.S. shale revolution.

A major strike against the “Khurasan Group” shows that despite the focus of public attention on ISIS, the administration is also concerned with real live terror plots emerging from the lawless chaos that is the Syrian battlefield.

This weekend’s march in New York City was presumably meant to show support for policies aimed at addressing climate change. Why, then, did so many protestors hoist anti-fracking signs?

The Russian parliament voted nearly unanimously to cap foreign ownership of Russian media at 20 percent, which will, among other things, force the sale or closure of many magazines and newspapers. Putin’s strategy of stirring up anti-foreign sentiment predates the Ukraine conflict, but it’s certainly paying off for him now.

America’s near-limitless demand for more health care is behind our cost crisis. Cost-cutting government bureaucrats can’t solve this; only a true health-care market can.

Scotland voted to remain in the UK, but neither Scotland nor England may be happy with the increased devolution promised by David Cameron. The debate over Scotland’s degree of autonomy could be very far from over.

There is ample Biblical warrant for noisy worship. And indeed, noisemaking is a feature of many different religious traditions.

46 percent of doctors give the ACA a ‘D’ or an ‘F,’ with only 25 percent giving it an ‘A’ or ‘B.’ The reason for low support seems to be that the law increases paperwork without fixing some of our deepest health care problems—and that diagnosis, at least, seems about right.
