Manufacturing Dissent: US NGO's Build Opposition in Thailand

Even whispers of hints of Russian influence have resulted in legislation, sanctions and quite literally years of punditry warning of the Kremlin's insidious reach. When the tables are turned, it is clear London, Washington and Brussels understand the inappropriateness of one nation interfering in the internal affairs of another.

How Lazy Is Trumpanzee?
*I'm Doing A Tremendous Job by Nancy Ohanian* Yesterday Eliana Johnson noted that Trump and Bolton are spurning top-level North Korea planning and that after two months on the job, Bolton has not called a single top-level National Security Council meeting on North Korea. Trump thinks he can just wing it? I would be surprised if he could find North Korea on a map and knows anything about North Korea beyond what Dennis Rodman has told him. Is he really bringing Rodman to the summit? "For decades," wrote Johnson, "top presidential advisers have used a methodical process to hash out nat... more »

Blessed ones, whole ones, you where the heart begins: You are the bow that shoots the arrows and you are the target. Fear not the pain.

A New Study Says a War with North Korea Could Be Hell (And Start a U.S.-China War)
*Michael Peck* *Security, Asia* And, of course, millions would die. If war erupts with North Korea, then the U.S. military will have problems, according to a series of wargames conducted by the RAND Corporation. Invading North Korea to capture or destroy Kim Jong-un’s nuclear arsenal, or to knock out artillery batteries threatening Seoul, would overstretch and deplete American and South Korean forces. More ominously, this could also trigger Chinese military intervention. RAND focused on the ability of the U.S. military—and especially the U.S. Army, which sponsored the research—... more »

*"The Summer of Discontent”* by Jim Kunstler "The ill-feeling among leaders of the G-7 nations — essentially, the West plus Japan — was mirrored early this morning in the puking financial market futures, so odious, apparently, is the presence of America’s Golden Golem of Greatness at the Quebec meet-up of First World poobahs.
