Did Ukraine Just Build a Cruise Missile That Can Stike 1000 Kilometers Away?
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * Or just a bluff? As the Ukrainian election heats up in April 2019, the incumbent President of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko made a bold claim: Ukraine has made an indigenous cruise missile with a range of 1000 kilometers, capable of carrying a 150-kilogram warhead. The strategic implications of such a weapon might be critical for Ukrainian defense planning. But what is the missile likely based on? How could it be an effective deterrent? Using long-range conventional cruise missiles for deterrence against Russia is not without precedent. The American JASSM... more »

Who Remembers When You Had To Take A Civics Class To Graduate From High School?
If that were still the case-- required civics classes-- more people would understand the difference between what the House does (impeachment) and what the Senate does (removal from office).

DID WHITE HOUSE INTIMIDATION PREVENT MUELLER FROM FINISHING THE JOB?
The conventional wisdom is that Robert Mueller did a very thorough job, and possibly faltered only in his failure to weigh on on the question of whether President Trump obstructed justice. But some commentators think Mueller could have done more. Ron Klain writes: ... if expectations were too high for Mueller’s report, the inevitable disappointment was exacerbated by how Mueller fell short in what he delivered. This starts with his failure to get Trump to answer questions in person.... In a run-of-the-mill criminal case, a prosecutor’s decision to bypass questioning a difficult fi... more »

Ukraine Presidential Contenders Hold A Stadium Debate
*BBC: **Ukraine presidential rivals trade barbs in stadium debate* Ukraine's rival presidential candidates have held a long-awaited head-to-head televised debate at Kiev's giant Olympic stadium. Comedian Volodymyr Zelensky and incumbent president Petro Poroshenko shook hands before launching scathing attacks on one another. Mr Zelensky is the clear favourite for Sunday's second-round vote, polls say. But Mr Poroshenko argues that he is a political novice unfit for such a demanding job. Mr Zelensky has relied on a slick social media campaign to tap into the frustration of many ... more »

*Defeat for environmentalists in Alberta* Conservatives in western Canada have won a critical regional election, with voters rejecting the province of Alberta’s incumbent leftwing government and setting the stage for a fight with the federal government over environmental policy. The bitter election was fought largely over the economy, pipelines and the environment. Running on a campaign slogan of “Alberta: Strong and Free”, winner Jason Kenney and his right-wing United Conservative party (UCP) pledged to revive the province’s troubled oil and gas sector, cut taxes and scale back ... more »

South Carolina Has A 2020 Role To Play Beyond Just Delivering 9 Electoral College Votes For Fascism
The most recent poll of South Carolina primary voters-- actually a registered voters poll by Emerson-- was about a month and a half ago. South Carolina is different from the states we usually look at. There Trump's approval rating is relatively high-- 50% and just 44% disapproving. And in head to head match-ups, he would beat any Democratic nominee. Trump would beat Biden 52-48%. He'd beat Bernie, Cory Booker or Elizabeth Warren 54-46%, and the other front-runners would lose to him 56-44%. When only Democrats are polled-- for the primary-- Biden was the clear winner with 37%.

This is what we have to do.....now
What if we actually pulled off a Green New Deal? What would the future look like? The Intercept presents a film narrated by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and illustrated by Molly Crabapple. Set a couple of decades from now, the film is a flat-out rejection of the idea that a dystopian future is a forgone conclusion. Instead, it offers a thought experiment: What if we decided not to drive off the climate cliff? What if we chose to radically change course and save both our habitat and ourselves? We realized that the biggest obstacle to the kind of transformative change the Green New Dea... more »
China Will Be Mad: Did North Korea Offer to Help Taiwan Build Submarines?
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Asia-Pacific* It was recently reported in various Taiwanese media outlets that North Korea and Taiwan discussed the transfer of North Korean submarine technology to Taiwan. Submarines are a critical asset for Taiwan’s Navy, the Republic of China Navy (ROCN). They provide critical intelligence gathering, patrol, and deterrence capabilities in the Taiwan Strait. However, they are few in number. The ROCN only operates four submarines, only two of which are used operationally. Pressure by the People’s Republic of China on would-be exporters has prevented Ta... more »
Could The U.S. Navy's War Plan Orange (For Fighting Japan) Be Used Against China?
*James Holmes* *Security, Asia* Dust it off and put it to use? One of the world's great naval minds has some ideas. Everyone says it: Newport, as in where the U.S. Naval War College is located and where yours truly works, underwent a golden age of strategy-making during the interwar decades. It must usher in a new golden age to prevail in strategic competition against the likes of China and Russia. Revisiting the service’s and Naval War College’s roots will shed light on the new, old dilemmas besetting them. Indeed it may—if posterity understands that long-ago age. Here’s the l... more »

What to do about Africa?
Following my article a few days ago about Rhodesia and white supremacists, I received this e-mail from a reader. Feel free to publish my comment, if you like — but please do not publish my name. I think that it is clear from your writings that you oppose the Apartheid approach to the ordering of civil society in Sub-Saharan Africa. I think that it is also clear that you acknowledge that current conditions in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe (and, perhaps, to a somewhat lesser extent, in South Africa) are simply dreadful — for both whites and blacks. What is not clear to me is how you would wo... more »
