Political News Items features well-informed reporting on and smart analysis of domestic and foreign politics. It also features analysis and commentary written by me. It is not an opinion site, although it does include commentary that is fact-based.

Political News Items draws from roughly 40-50 publications/websites from around the world. The items, in almost every instance, are copied and pasted from the original work. That way what the reporter or commentator wrote is conveyed exactly as published. The source of the item is hyperlinked in the body copy and named at the end.

The president of the Council on Foreign Relations, Richard Haass, wrote a book a while back entitled “A World in Disarray.” He had that right. Political News Items covers the politics of a world in disarray, across the time zones, with special emphasis on the United States, China, Europe, Pakistan, Iran and South America.

And war.
