Nov. 29: The Crash of an Empire
I just had an interesting letter from a reader who once voted for a Conservative prime minister - because he was an economist, and so, she wrote, someone capable of handling money. But that's not a good idea because that isn't the way it works. We might as well talk about electing a city mayor because he knows how to drive a snow plow, and could save us money. It's not the person elected who plans the economy. Of course not. Planning a national economy is a job that requires far more education and experience than most politicians, including economists, have. It's also a job that r... more »

In *The New York Times,* there's a new story from Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Martin about President Trump's delusions. Yesterday, after Haberman previewed the story on CNN, I gave you my thoughts about Trump's recent assertions that the *Access Hollywood* tape in which he boasts about groping women was fabricated or doctored -- Trump, I said, has trained himself not to process reality the way the rest of us do, and simply doesn't believe what he'd rather not believe, even when an unpleasant fact is incontrovertibly true. Trump has to perform a lot of mental gymnastics to make hims... more »

Partisanship, Norms and Federal Judicial Appointments
Keith E. Whittington The politics of federal judicial appointments is as heated and as high-profile now as it has ever been in American history. For an important segment of both political parties, the federal courts have become a critical policymaking institution, and as a result both parties have been pushed to treat judicial appointments as an important political battleground. Political scientists have long argued that courts are inevitably political institutions. They decide important questions of public policy, and they are constituted by political means. Federal judges might...more »

“Never, ever forget that nothing in this life is free. Life demands payment in some form for your "right" to express yourself, to condemn and abuse the evil surrounding us.

Top U.S. General In Afghanistan Gives An Update On The War
*DOD Buzz*: *War in Afghanistan Heats Up as Fight Against ISIS Winds Down* Another telling sign that the wars against ISIS in Iraq and Syria were winding down and entering the counter-insurgency phase recently came from the U.S. commander in Afghanistan. Army Gen. John Nicholson, commander of U.S. Forces-Afghanistan and the NATO Resolute Support mission, said that he had used a B-52 bomber and an F-22 Raptor advanced fighter normally assigned to the Iraq/Syria theaters to bomb suspected drug havens in Afghanistan. The use of the B-52, flying out of Al Udeid airbase in Qatar, and t... more »
The Real Story of How North Korea Could Destroy Seoul with Its Big 'Guns' (Or Not)
*Kyle Mizokami* *Securtiy, Asia* Could Kim destroy Seoul? Here are the facts. *A 2011 study by the Nautilus Institute throws a considerable amount of cold water on this scenario. While the sheer number of artillery tubes could theoretically kill a large number of civilians, operational issues complicate matters and push the number of civilian casualties greatly downward. Despite the thousands of artillery pieces, only 700 heavier guns and rocket launchers, plus the newer 300-millimeter MRLs, have the range to strike Seoul. Only a third would normally be fired at once, and notion... more »
That Time the Navy Sent 4 of Its Most Destructive Battleships to Crush North Korea
*Robert Farley* *Security, Asia* Some history you may not know. *Each of the four battleships acted as a flagship at one time or another, contributing facilities necessary to the coordination of broader naval warfare efforts. More to the point, however, the battleships used both their sixteen-inch main armament and their five-inch secondary armament to pound Chinese and North Korean positions along the coast. These positions included cave systems, concealed artillery and command posts. As with the end of the Second World War, the battleships also hit strategic and operational t... more »
A War with North Korea Would Be a Conflict Like No Other (And Millions Could Die)
*Robert Farley* *Security, Asia* Looking into what would be total hell. *North Korea’s best hope for success in peace hinges, as it has for the past seventy years, on the potential collapse of the global capitalist system. This sounds… optimistic, but consider that South Korea suffered badly during the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, that the capitalist world continues to suffer from the fallout from the 2008 Financial Crisis, and that Japan faces what appear to be insurmountable economic difficulties.* *Even if a world economic collapse does not bring capitalism to its knees, ano... more »
Congress Acts Like It's above the Law
*Amitai Etzioni* *Politics, North America* [image: The U.S. Capitol is photographed behind a chain fence] More people need to be aware that Congress exempts itself from laws that it imposes on the rest of us. Congress has long exempted its own members from the laws and regulations it has imposed on all others. Most recently, this we-are-above the law position came into relief when the public learned the peculiar fate that awaits legislative branch employees who are sexually harassed in their workplace. They are subjected to a process unlike any other. It is hardly a small matter... more »
Countering China's Anti-Taiwan Campaign
*Ian Easton* *Security, Asia* [image: A formation of military F-16 fighter jets fly past honour guards during an airforce demonstration in Songshan airport in Taipei] In theory, time favors Taiwan because it is on the right side of history. Militarily, however, it is not clear that the Taiwanese self-defense forces could resist China. Taiwan’s rise as one of Asia’s most vibrant democracies and an alternative to China’s repressive authoritarian model is viewed with extreme concern in Beijing’s halls of power. From China’s perspective, the existence of Taiwan as a democracy is a g... more »
Is Africa at a Turning Point?
*Ahmed Charai* *Politics, Africa* [image: A general view shows the headquarters of the African Union (AU) building in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa] The Summit of Abidjan can serve as a turning point in the relations between Africa and Europe. The African Union (AU)/European Union (EU) summit, to be held in Abidjan at the end of November, will be off to a truly busy start. While youth and job creation will be the main focus, other issues—such as the Libyan migrant crisis; the forced, yet bloodless resignation of Robert Mugabe; migration; and good governance—risk overshadowing th... more »
Libertarianism and Restraint
*Christopher A. Preble* *Security, North America* Maintaining a massive national-security apparatus in anticipation of an uncertain tomorrow is a threat to limited government and individual liberty today. My friend and former Cato Institute colleague Matthew Fay recently published a paper on libertarian foreign policy, available online at Matt’s new intellectual home, The Niskanen Center. It is a thorough and well-written paper. He raises a number of issues about U.S. foreign policy that should be of interest to a wide audience, well beyond the relatively small circle of self-de... more »
"The Corporatocracy"
*"The Corporatocracy"* by Robert Gore "The interests of Washington and large corporations have merged so completely they are now inseparable. Or was it an acquisition? If the latter, who acquired whom? Unfortunately, the labels affixed to purely corporate combinations lose their analytical usefulness here. While the two retain their own distinct legal structures and managements, so to speak, such a close community of interest has evolved that it’s no longer possible to separate them or delineate their individual contours. Political labels are no help; the ones most often used have... more »

According to the Defense Manpower Data Center's quarterly report from September, there were 1,720 American troops in Syria -- three times as many as the 503 troops in Syria that U.S. military spokesmen have told reporters. The Pentagon's personnel agency issues quarterly reports about how many American troops are serving in individual... more »
Slavery In 2017 Exists In North Africa... Are Republican Party Policies Heading Us Back Towards That Institution Cherished By The Rich And Powerful?
Roland and I were wandering around south-central Mali a few years ago, taking it in, meeting the folks. Alan Grayson had recommended Bandiagara and Sangha as a couple of off-the-beaten-track places east of Mopti and north of the border with Burkina Faso. In one of those towns Roland found a goat and its kid. The mother goat was freaking out because they were separating her from the kid and it looked like she knew the kid was headed for the stew pot. Roland bought the kid and we walked around with it for a few days before giving it to the mother goat's owner-- along with some Impe... more »
