Iran Hawks: A House Divided
*Curt Mills* *Iran, United States* The battle in Washington over Iran shows little sign of abating. But what’s all the fuss? “Never mind that President Trump, Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, Patrick Shanahan, and Bolton have not said a single word about a preemptive strike, much less a full-scale war, against Iran,” writes Matthew Continetti. “Never mind that the president's reluctance for overseas intervention is well known.” Would that it were so simple. The president was less sparing Sunday evening: “If Iran wants to fight, that will be the official end of Iran.” The recent weeks h... more »
China's Tariff List Advertises Its Trade War Weakness
*Alan Tonelson* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] President Donald Trump obviously overstated the case when he claimed that a trade war with China would be “easy to win.” Unless Chinese leader Xi Jinping and his advisors are completely incompetent, there’s only one way to interpret Beijing’s list of U.S. products that will be slapped with retaliatory tariffs on June 1 if the trade war with the United States isn’t somehow deescalated pronto: China increasingly realizes that it’s playing a losing hand in the trade war, and its counter-moves have been made mainly for public consumpt... more »
Avoiding Another Iraq in Iran
*Will Walldorf, Andrew Yeo* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Steps must be taken to reinforce Donald Trump’s noninterventionist sensibilities in the Middle East. National Security Advisor John Bolton is trying to push the United States into a regime change war in Iran. In historical terms, this is not new for U.S. foreign policy. From Korea, Vietnam, and El Salvador during the Cold War, to Afghanistan and Iraq in the 2000s, hawkish advisors have often goaded U.S. presidents into wars to either overturn or prop up foreign governments. In the early 1980s, Secretary of Stat... more »

The Bernie Sanders K-12 Plan Falls Way Short
Bernie Sanders has received lots of attention since his announcement of a new education platform for K-12. While the Sanders plan is the only plan among twenty-some-odd candidates with any real specifics, the Sanders Plan falls far short of addressing the basic needs of children, teachers, and parents who depend upon public schools in the U.
