How To Turn China's A2/AD Strategy Back on Them
*James Holmes* *Security, Asia* [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/USA-IRAN--RC15E1E05310.html] Threatening severe repercussions for China's access-denial strategy would dampen Chinese aggression. *Key Point:* Access is an important and too often forgotten part of military strategy. Last week the Pentagon released two appraisals of China in swift succession. The first, issued by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), goes by the title China Military Power and is patterned on the old-school Soviet Military Power tomes beloved by those of us of a vintage to have battl... more »
Independent Voters Are Going To Elect The Next President-- And They Prefer Bernie, Not Trump And Not Biden
Ipsos did a new national poll for Reuters. I just want to focus on respondents who described themselves as independents (12%) rather than Democrats (43%) or Republicans (37%). It is worth noting, however, that while 70% of Democrats and 74% of Republicans say they are completely certain they will vote in 2020, just 48% of independents said they would and, in fact, 18% of independents said they are certain they will *not* vote. This is how detached self-described independents are from American politics: they are far less familiar with leading politicians than either Democrats or Re... more »

Dr. Brownstein Exposes Fake News About Flu Shot in WSJ
My friend Brad texted me during the Michigan-Michigan State football game yesterday telling me I have to read the flu shot article in the WSJ and write about it. Well, I got home from the BIG Michigan victory (Go Blue!) and promptly read the November 16, 2019 article. This article must have been supplied to the WSJ writer by Big Pharma as this was nothing more than a promotional spot for why we should be vaccinated against the flu. Fake News: The flu vaccine has NEVER been shown to protect those aged 65 and older. And, 79,000 dying from the flu last year? No way. The CDC annually ... more »
Can NASA's Proposal To Classify Parts Of Mars Like The Moon Jeopardize Future Discoveries Of ET Microbes?
Right now all our missions to Mars are sterilized to protect it from any Earth life that could hitch a ride and confuse the searches. This report by the “Planetary Protection Independent Review Board” is a proposal to classify most of Mars as Category II for the purposes of the Outer Space Treaty, similarly to the Moon. This would mean there is no longer any need to sterilize rovers that we send to Mars to the regions classified as category II, just document what you do. It would mean that you have decided in advance that these are regions where there is only a remote chance that ... more »

Why Elizabeth Warren Wants To Slash the Pentagon's Budget
*Giselle Donnelly* *Politics, * An $800 billion decision. While candidate Elizabeth Warren’s plan to pay for her “Medicare for All” proposal has drawn critiques from almost every quarter, including from her rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination, those critiques have focused mostly on her ideas for increasing tax revenues. In particular, her plan to harvest about $800 billion from defense budgets has drawn little comment. In the context of a health-care expansion reckoned in the tens of trillions, the Pentagon cuts are a drop in the ocean. Yet in the context of milita... more »

Ukraine Doesn’t Need Aid. It Needs Land Reform.
*Andriy Radchenko* *Security, Eurasia* [image: Reuters] Ukraine remains one of six nations in the world where selling land is forbidden. It shares this dubious distinction with North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Tajikistan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Since the 2014 Maidan Revolution and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the United States and its partners have provided billions of dollars of financial aid to Ukraine. But Ukraine doesn’t need more money from the United States. It’s a wealthy country. What Ukraine needs is America’s assistance in unleashing its own natural we... more »
Are Trump’s Border Policies Driving Down Illegal Immigration?
*Jonathan Haggerty* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] Protecting national security and public safety means allowing law enforcement to focus its finite resources on those who threaten it most. Illegal border crossings reached their highest point in over a decade this year, but the numbers have declined every month since May. How much of this recent drop can we attribute to the administration’s border security program? One useful chart of the administration’s policies superimposed on the number of illegal border crossings shows no discernible relationship between the two. Bu... more »
Why Mexico Is More Important Than Ever for America

No other country affects the day to day lives of Americans more than Mexico does. Mexico is the United States’ top trading partner and most important ally. Yet, ahead of the 2020 election, one can expect President Donald Trump to put Mexico in his crosshairs again as he did throughout his 2016 presidential run. If so, Trump and his defenders will use nativist rhetoric to stoke the anxiety and resentment of his base towa... more »

*Lyle J. Goldstein* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] China will deploy a force of aerial drones to stalk American submarines in the Western Pacific.

Civilization and Barbarism
Man is not a creature of reason, he is not born for freedom, and he does not yearn for peace. The men who use reason and are fixated on living in freedom and peace are to be found only in the idealistic works of the philosophers and fiction writers. The truth is that men are motivated by a range of passions, emotions, desires, ambitions, fears, prejudices, and corporeal and spiritual needs. In history of mankind, the desire for creating a civilization has always marched hand in hand with the lust for indulging in an orgy of barbarism. The barbarians are always threatening the gates ... more »

Structural Arguments and Impeachment
Below you can read Josh and Seth's excellent post on whether the Senior Associate Justice may preside over the President's impeachment trial if the Chief Justice cannot. My initial impression, which was that the answer was so, was incorrect. Josh and Seth offer a good explanation for why, though I have a somewhat different one.

A constitutional textualist says, "Well, the trial cannot resume until a new Chief Justice is nominated and confirmed." Presumably, Presid... more »
