From the editors of CIR, published in Tocqueville21

As the illegal invasion of Ukraine by Russia continues, the West responds with economic sanctions. These measures are unlikely to work. To understand this, we take a look at the twisting web of Russian financial engagements worldwide.

This is part II of a four-part series on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, focusing on the economic ramifications of the Ukraine invasion. Part I can be found here. Part […]

From the editors of CIR, published in Tocqueville21.

German nationalism and its evolution makes for an apt historical parallel to modern Russia and Ukraine. Russian consolidation, like German consolidation, is both necessary for national stability and a threat to all neighboring powers.

This essay is the first in a series of analyses on the historical, geopolitical, and economic underpinnings of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Part I establishes a parallel between Russia […]

Last week's confirmation hearings on the appointment of Judge Amy Coney Barrett as a Supreme Court Justice were mostly an exercise in binary politicking.

The last week has conclusively underlined the one truth of American politics: Given enough time, partisan ploys will always erode nonpartisan institutions The confirmation hearings [1] [See also each

This week was particularly difficult for us, as our advertising rights on Facebook have been taken down, and we're still waiting on our appeal. In retrospect, the last article - with accompanying image - may have been a little too close to thumbing our nose at the political ban set to debut later this month (satirizing clickbait was probably pushing it a bit far).

As a result, we need your help now more than ever to develop our readerbase. If you enjoy our content, consider liking our posts, or sharing our articles with your friends!

All the UN is getting from us for its diamond jubilee is coal.

Hello everyone!

We’re proud to present CIR’s first press review: Each week (starting this week), we take a look at events and articles that caught our eye and give an overview of what we believe to be the key takeaways thereof. It’s essentially a shorter-form sibling to our weekly publication, where we get to explore more than just one issue, albeit in less detail or depth.

This week’s issue has a focus on international relations, but we intend to bring more topics to the fold in the next weeks.

We hope you enjoy it!
