"Reality is starting to puncture the Trump administration's fantasy world in which tariffs are paid by other countries and 'Trade Is Bad.' How much longer will the Administration maintain the charade of pretending that tariffs are helping American businesses and consumers." #QotD
*"Reality is starting to puncture the Trump administration's fantasy world in which tariffs are paid by other countries and 'Trade Is Bad.' Roughly a year after Trump gleefully launched a trade war with the promise that it would be 'good and easy to win,' it is now increasingly obvious that the president and many of his top economic advisors oversold the benefits and underestimated the costs of trade policies that have caused America to clash with not just Canada and Mexico, but China, Japan, Europe, and other major trading partners...

How NATO Could Solve the Suwalki Gap Challenge
*Nikolai Sokov* *Security, Eurasia* [image: Reuters] A close look at the Suwalki dilemma leads to three conclusions, all of them uncomfortable. Sebastien Roblin recently wrote a good summary of the increasingly popular narrative on the Suwalki Gap and—unintentionally—an equally good representation of the glaring gaps in it. Roblin notes that the forty-mile (more common measurement is sixty miles) corridor squeezed between Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia and Belarus represents a “natural chokepoint Russia could potentially assail from multiple directions to pinch off columns of NATO... more »
Get Ready for China to Target the Senkaku Islands
*Michael O'Hanlon* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] The Senkaku Islands make a tempting target for a country that might be looking to gain control over contested territory and challenge America's authority. By strong and deep bipartisan agreement, America’s national-security community is now focused on the risks of war against Russia or China as the top priorities for defense policy and resource allocation. Thirty years after the Berlin Wall fell, this is a remarkable and sobering development, provoked by China’s Rise and Russia’s revanchism. But over what issues, and in what w... more »
Trump's Demolition of Arms Control
*Paul R. Pillar* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] The Trump administration seems to be discarding the achievements of previous administrations in favor of an impressive-sounding but probably unachievable “better deal.” Damage to U.S. security interests that is likely to linger well beyond the term of Donald Trump includes major setbacks to arms control. Several characteristics of the current administration’s way of operating are contributing to this result. One is the priority the president gives to embellishing his self-styled image as a dealmaker, as distinct from achievi... more »
Trump's Iran Strategy Lacks a Regional Outlook
*Saad Alsubaie* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Disengaging and minimizing the U.S. role in the Middle East will only contribute to conditions that increased the Iranian geopolitical expansion in the first place. Since President Donald Trump took office in 2017, the most consistent theme of his foreign policy has been his tough stance toward Iran. In a fundamental shift from his predecessor, President Trump terminated the Iran nuclear deal and replaced it with the Iran strategy. The first core element of this strategy “focuses on neutralizing the Government of Iran’s de... more »
America Must Pivot Toward China and Away from the Middle East

2 Things America's Mighty F-22 Raptor Can't Beat (Not Russia or China)

In fact, while the finicky Raptor has an especially poor fleet-wide readiness rate of forty-nine percent, even less maintenance-intensive aircraft such as F-16s and F-15 average only seventy to seventy-five percent operational readiness, and that figure may go back down to fifty percent for Marine and Navy fighter units.* The F-22 Rapt... more »

A Rubber Producing Dandelion May Mean A Solution To Deforestation Problems In Asia
When most people think of rubber, they usually just think of tires but natural rubber is an incredibly important yet under-appreciated bioresource used to make at least 50,000 different products. Approximately 13 million tons are collected every year from tapping 39 billion liters of latex (by hand!) from rubber trees, mostly in southeast Asia - enough to fill over 5,200 Olympic-sized swimming pools. After collection, 11% of the latex is centrifuged to remove half of the water, and the rest is converted to solid rubber. The concentrated latex is shipped to manufacturers of articles... more »

OKAY, MAYBE THIS IS A REASON NOT TO IMPEACH TRUMP
I'm unable to watch Attorney General Barr's appearance before the Senate, but I gather it's turned into a Trump rally, lacking only the headliner and the audience full of bikers in HILLARY FOR PRISON T-shirts. So this seems like a valid point: It's also a prelude to what impeachment hearings would look like in the Senate. — RiPPa (@RippDemUp) May 1, 2019 Or as Scott Lemieux puts it: There are very reasonable arguments for impeaching Trump although he can't be removed from office. As this hearing should make clear, "it will make Republican senators own Trump" is not one of them — ... more »
