Farmers in California lost more than $9 billion in revenue last year as the ongoing drought forced them to fallow fields, shut down farms and cut labor costs.

Liberal internationalism was after its own prestige, not Kosovars’ well-being.

Since NATO’s intervention in 1999, Kosovo has been the subject of an unprecedented degree of international supervision. UNMIK, EULEX and K-FOR were afforded extensive, and essentially unaccountable, powers to maintain law and order and regulate Kosovo’s economy, judiciary and political system.

Both sides have strong, building reasons to work together.

The talks on possible cooperation in Syria between the United States and Russia seem to be never-ending, and they are still to produce significant results.
