Rules and Norms in the Trump Presidency: The Risks and Rewards of ‘Playing It Straight’ on the Inside
Former FBI Director James Comey before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, 2017 (Source: C-SPAN) James Comey famously does things his own way, and the Department of Justice inspector general has not approved. Having criticized the former FBI director’s handling of the Clinton email investigation, the inspector general most recently upbraided him for his use of “sensitive investigative information” in sounding an alarm about Donald Trump. The inspector general cleared Comey of public leaks of confidential information but found him in violation of his employment agreement a... more »

Additional Note on Corbynism: A Critical Approach
That moment when you're walking to work and remember a point you were supposed to make in last night's piece. And, perhaps, this is the most glaring error in Bolton and Pitts's *Corbynism: A Critical Approach*. In their book, they answer previous criticism for their being unconcerned with providing an alternative politics or strategy to Corbynism with a shrug of the shoulders and a dismissive meh. All well and good if you're interested in merely writing things and building careers as *soi-disant* Marxists with a neat little niche. And yet, their book is explicitly located as an int... more »

Welsh* *History, Europe* [image: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f6/b1/dc/f6b1dc1b96ce0ab493b83c21621a6303.jpg] Tragic. *Key point:* The fall of Constantinople was a catastrophic moment for the West and it was made possible by new cannons called bombards. In the 15th century the great powers of medieval Europe paid talented gunsmiths to build massive bombards to batter walls and shorten the length of sieges. The introduction of bombards meant that artillery replaced mining as the surest way to breach a stronghold. Bombards were massive guns, ... more »

A Non-Interventionism Foreign Policy Strategy Can Be a Bipartisan Affair
[image: undefined] Non-interventionism is a foreign policy strategy that seeks to minimize the use of direct military force against other nations, while maintaining diplomatic ties. It is a strategy that the American Founders recommended, but has largely been ignored. The corporate media and scholars alike often confuse non-interventionism in American foreign policy with isolationism, which is often associated with anti-diplomacy, minimal trade with other nations, and a focus solely on the homeland, without regard to international happenings and global governance. However, that’s no... more »

The Moral/Political Corrosion Of Negative Interest Rates, With Guest Jeff Deist

How Iran Would Unleash an 'All Out War': Lots of Missiles
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Middle East* If Trump decides to strike here is how Tehran could respond. Key Point: Iran’s interest in ballistic missiles has its origins in the 1980–88 Iran-Iraq War. Like the rest of the Iranian Armed Forces, the Iranian Air Force was crippled by postrevolution purges. Although numerically and technologically superior to the Iraqi Air Force, Iran was unable to achieve air superiority and unable to accurately strike targets deep within Iraq. In response, Iran purchased a number of Soviet R-17 (“Scud B”) short-range ballistic missiles from the Libyan... more »

1 Event Made China Fear America's Aircraft Carriers Above All Else
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* And that's why Beijing has big plans to sink them if a war should ever start. *Key Point: *More than twenty years ago, a military confrontation in East Asia pushed the United States and China uncomfortably close to conflict. Largely unknown in America, the event made a lasting impression on China, especially Chinese military planners. The Third Taiwan Crisis, as historians call it, was China’s introduction to the power and flexibility of the aircraft carrier, something it obsesses about to this day. The crisis began in 1995.

President Trump's Iran Nightmare: Iran's Navy Could Do Some Serious Damage
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Key Point: Iran’s naval forces are some of the smallest but most aggressive in the region. *Key Point*: Iran’s naval forces are some of the smallest but most aggressive in the region. Decades of sanctions and embargoes have strangled the navy’s attempts to modernize, leaving a smaller than expected naval force whose most intimidating features are homebrewed frigates, coastal missile batteries and swarms of fast, lightly armed fast-attack craft.

This Plane Landed on a U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier. The Pilot Wasn't American.

Juha “Stallion” Jarvinen’s landing was the first landing on an aircraft carrier by a Finnish air force pilot in history, according to the U.S. Navy.

Historical Context for Trudeau's Latest Perfidy*
*Blackface History Is Jewish History* *Article from The UNZ Review* **Perfidy* *The noun perfidy means "deceitfulness" or "treachery," so it's not just being mean, but deliberately betraying a trust. The Latin root of perfidy is made up of per, or "through," and fidem, or "faith." So in order for perfidy to happen, there has to have first been a sense of faith in place, which was then broken or betrayed.* I was going to do a post this morning anyway about how the Canadian Federal General Election has *been going sideways for some days now. * Then last night the Shi! hit the fan wi... more »

The story behind Yemen's attack on Saudi oil fields
The attack on Saudi Arabia's oil facilities. How was it possible that Yemen could hit Saudi oil fields with slow lumbering drones while 'mighty' US Patriot missile defense systems failed to work?

Could it be because the Neo-cons that run Washington want to keep saying that Iran did it - using this event as justification for a full-scale war and regime change in Tehran?
