*"Satellite Pictures Show The Difference * *Between Rich And Poor Neighborhoods"* by Jill Krasny and Zachry Floro "The difference between rich and poor neighborhoods is visible from space—just look for the trees. Tim DeChant at Per Square Mile drew this conclusion from research published a few years ago: "For every 1 percent increase in per capita income, demand for forest cover increased by 1.76 percent.

Vanity Candidates For President-- Or Do They Want To Be The Next Ben Carson?
Richard Ojeda and Sherrod Brown both dropped out before they could make fools of themselves. Does anyone even remember they were once "running?" And Bloomberg and the Starbucks guy?

That's also the perfect guess since Frackenlooper continues to sink in polling, has raised a minuscule amount of money having only 13,000 donors, and has lost most of his staff (including his campaign manager, communications director, digital director ... more »

On the False Deification of Individualists
Only the naive can dream of a political movement spearheaded by individualists. An individualist is someone who does not consult, does not cooperate, and does not collaborate—how can a man like this be expected to spearhead a political movement or even participate in one? Politics is all about consultation, cooperation, and collaboration—it is about finding a common agenda—it is about talking to people, giving an ear to their problems, and offering solutions—it is about trying to change the mind of the people who may not think like you or even hate you. An individualist is incapable... more »

Russia's Only Aircraft Carrier Needs To Head to the Scrap Yard: Experts
*David Axe* *Security, * This is why. The Russian navy plans to dry-dock its only aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov in 2020 and conduct extensive repairs on the aging, unreliable vessel. The plan makes a perverse kind of sense from Moscow’s point of view. But it’s still a bad idea, two experts explained in Proceedings, the professional journal of the U.S. Naval Institute. “As Russia’s only aircraft carrier and its flagship, the Kuznetsov’s main mission is projecting national prestige,” wrote Richard Moss and Ryan Vest, both instructors at the U.S. Naval War College. “From tha...more »
Could the United States and China be Rivalry Partners?
*Graham Allison* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] In the long sweep of history, when a rising power threatens to displace a ruling power, alarm bells should sound: extreme danger ahead. The strategic rationale for the relationship between the United States and China has collapsed. After a quarter century in which American presidents sought to integrate a rapidly developing China into the American-led international order, the United States has concluded that what it thought was a “strategic partner” is in fact a “strategic adversary.” After decades of keeping its head down follo...more »
Keeping the Cold War with China from Turning Hot
*Lyle J. Goldstein* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] The temptation to add tactical nuclear weapons to U.S. forces in the Asia-Pacific region should be resisted. As a hot summer of Iran debate heats up the nation’s capital, one may be at least slightly reassured that President Donald Trump has exercised some measure of restraint—albeit belatedly. Yet, the President’s reasoning, that the proposed strikes would have cost an estimated 150 casualties, implies a misunderstanding regarding the uncertain nature of war and its inherent risks. Putting aside for now the tortured story th... more »

What Has Become of Abdul-Salaam Ojeili's Syria
*Samuel Sweeney* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] The Syria that remains is not what anyone envisioned when they took to the streets to protest against the government. Following a stalemate that had lasted, imperfectly, from September 2018, the Syrian government and their Russian allies launched a campaign in early May against opposition-held territory in Syria’s northwest. If a larger campaign against Idlib province is coming, then it could be the death knell for the Syrian opposition as a force within the country’s borders. Aside from the significant territory east of t... more »
Completing the Pivot to Asia
*Thomas Callender* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] The U.S. Navy is outnumbered in the Pacific. If it wishes to stay competitive, then it must move ships from the United States to Japan and the Philippines. Remember President Barack Obama’s “pivot to Asia”? In 2012, then Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced the Navy would put about 60 percent of its forces in the Pacific. Seven years later, the pivot is complete. But is it enough to protect vital American interests in the region? The U.S. Navy Pacific Fleet comprises more than 170 vessels. They’re responsible for a vast m... more »

A claim confirmed by the fact that the Eagle has an unmatched air-to-air kill ratio of 104 to 0. Thanks to its updated weapon systems the mighty F-15 will likely serve for decades to come, but does the venerable Eagle still have what it takes to dominate the skies? According to a recent article the answer is “yes—absolutely.” The Eagle may be old, but it’... more »
