There Will Never Be A European Army
*Andreas Kluth, Bloomberg:* *A European Army? It’ll Never Happen.* The dream of an EU alternative to U.S. protection is just that. NATO remains as essential as ever. As NATO allies gather near London this week, existential questions hover in the air above the swanky Grove Hotel: How long will we be around as an alliance? Do we still look united enough to deter aggressors? And can a “European army” spring up to supplement, perhaps even replace, our transatlantic league? The short answer to that last question is no. Tragically, there won’t be a European army soon, or ever. European ... more »

Iraq’s Quiet Kingmaker Brings Down a Prime Minister
*Matthew Petti* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Ayatollah Ali Sistani is usually silent about politics. But his whispers brought down Adil Abdul-Mahdi. Iraq’s parliament accepted Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi’s resignation on Sunday, finally bringing down a veteran political survivor. Youth-led protests have rocked Iraq for several weeks, and crackdowns by the state and militia groups have killed hundreds of protests. But a rare intervention from Ayatollah Ali Sistani, usually reluctant to dirty his hands with politics, was the tipping point. “The religious authority ... more »
Is Iran Near Collapse?
*Mohammed Ayoob* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] There may not be a repetition of 1979 this year but the protests in Tehran have surely paved the way for its reprise in the not too distant future. The events of the last few weeks in Iran indicate that the country may be in for a repetition of the events of 1978 that led to the toppling of the Shah. Anti-government protests in Iran have reached a boiling point with the streets of several of Iran’s cities and towns reverberating with slogans demanding the overthrow of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. One can hear ec... more »
This 2013 War Game Shows the Littoral Combat Ship Can't Win Against China
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] A terrible ship. *Key point:* The LCS is small and weak and isn't what Washington needs to deter Beijing. The U.S. Navy in late 2019 or 2020 expects to select a shipyard to build the fleet’s new guided-missile frigate. The 20 heavily-armed frigates will replace roughly half of the 50 or so Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) that the Navy had planned to buy before realizing that the lightly-armed LCS likely couldn’t survive in a major shooting war. Just how vulnerable is the LCS? In 2013 journalist Kyle Mizokami put the speedy, 3,000-t... more »
In the 1960s, An American Aircraft Carrier Was Almost Sunk (By Its Own Planes)
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * Accidents happen on the high seas. *Key Point:* A high operational tempo leads to accidents. Two deadly collisions involving U.S. Navy destroyers in June and August 2017 may have cost the lives of up to sixteen sailors, leading the Navy to declare a day-long operational pause to reflect upon its safety culture. That such similar accidents took place in such close proximity reflects stresses and failings common to the maritime fighting branch. In the 1960s, the Navy also suffered a series of deadly accidents aboard its carriers. In their wake came ... more »

A new fighter to replace the F-22 Raptor could eat the U.S. Air Force's budget starting in the 2030s, the Congressional Budget Office reported. The Air Force on average spent $12 billion per year, in current dollars, on new aircraft between 1980 and 2018.

To suspend campaigning in London as a sign of respect while appearing on *Andrew Marr* to blame Labour for the early release of Usman Khan was grotesque.

"When The Demons Come Along..."
"Here is a universal law: that when it comes to negative and positive, you will always thrive more powerfully in the positive if you have first been immersed in, and have heroically overcome, the polar opposite negative of that thing. To abide in the positive existence of something, without having known and overcome it's polar opposite - that is to be only a frame of the real structure. Easily toppled down and taken apart.

Chet Raymo, "The Ring of Truth"
*"The Ring of Truth"* by Chet Raymo "In Salley Vickers' novel, "Where Three Roads Meet," the shade of Tiresias, the blind seer of the Oedipus myth, visits Sigmund Freud in London during the psychoanalyst's final terrible illness. In a series of conversations, Tiresias retells the story of Oedipus- he who was fated to kill his father and sleep with his mother- a story at the heart of Freud's own theory of the human psyche. At one point in the conversations, as Tiresias and Freud discuss the extent to which our lives are fated, the question of immortality arises. Freud says of Oedipu... more »
"Some Very Big Problems..."
"We have got some very big problems confronting us and let us not make any mistake about it, human history in the future is fraught with tragedy. It's only through people making a stand against that tragedy and being doggedly optimistic that we are going to win through. If you look at the plight of the human race it could well tip you into despair, so you have to be very strong." - Robert James Brown
"The Reductionist Approach To Life..."
"The real damage is done by those millions who want to 'survive.' The honest men who just want to be left in peace. Those who don't want their little lives disturbed by anything bigger than themselves. Those with no sides and no causes. Those who won't take measure of their own strength, for fear of antagonizing their own weakness. Those who don't like to make waves - or enemies. Those for whom freedom, honor, truth, and principles are only literature. Those who live small, mate small, die small. It's the reductionist approach to life: if you keep it small, you'll keep it under con... more »

How Fascists Took Power in Bolivia—and How They Can Be Defeated
The impulse of many First World leftists in the wake of last month’s coup in Bolivia has been to criticize Evo Morales and his ‘Movement Towards Socialism’ (MAS) movement. Some have claimed that Morales was ousted because he was “revisionist” or otherwise a failed leader. These pronouncements are often ostensibly made from a pro-Marxist-Leninist standpoint, yet they don’t acknowledge Marxism-Leninism’s analytical approach of assessing how the material conditions of a given situation impact the ways… The post How Fascists Took Power in Bolivia—and How They Can Be Defeated appeared... more »

Target of "Intelligence" Community: Trump & You | Behind the Deep State
[image: alex-newman-target-of-intelligence-community-trump-you-behind-the-deep-state] VIDEO - Americans have been led to believe that the so-called "intelligence" community exists to keep the country safe from Communists, Islamists, and other threats. Unfortunately, the reality is quite the opposite. The CIA has been filled with Deep State agents and even communists, including at the top, since the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) days. And during the Obama years, the mask dropped, with multiple U.S. government agencies making clear that the real target of these enormous and powe... more »

For the symposium on David S. Schwartz, The Spirit of the Constitution: John Marshall and the 200-Year Odyssey of McCulloch v. Maryland (Oxford University Press, 2019). David Schwartz I’m truly honored to have my book be the subject of a symposium on Balkinization, and I’m deeply grateful to Jack Balkin and John Mikhail for organizing and hosting it. Among its many gratifications for me personally, the symposium guaranteed that at least eight people would read the book. That these readers have engaged with it so closely and insightfully is icing on the cake. My first article on *... more »

Is it a dog or is it a wolf? 18,000-year-old pup could be oldest confirmed puppy in the world
The 18,000-year-old body of a near perfectly preserved puppy has left scientists puzzled. Russian scientists discovered the body of the canine near Yakutsk, in eastern Siberia. Preserved by permafrost, the specimen's nose, fur and teeth are remarkably intact. Using carbon dating on the creature's rib bone, experts from Sweden's Centre for Palaeogenetics were able to confirm that the specimen had been frozen for around 18,000 years, but extensive DNA tests have so far been unable to show whether the animal was a dog or a wolf. Stanton told CNN that the period the puppy is from is "... more »

The death of a friend
I've lost a lot of friends, comrades-in-arms, and acquaintances. It was never easy to cope with, and sometimes it felt like the yawning, empty ache death leaves behind was about to overwhelm me. (Not unlike a heart attack, in some ways: I've now experienced the latter twice, so I think I have some basis for comparison.) Over the weekend, a friend of mine lost a loved one, and turned to me for a shoulder to lean on. Again, that's something I've done a lot, as a pastor (now retired) and as a friend. Living in a conflict zone, as I did for the best part of 20 years, makes it an a... more »
"This is a race to the bottom. Companies that can’t effectively price and promote the advantages of their products sometimes decide not to make them in the first place.

*"When Americans [and those who rely upon American pharmaceutical research] talk about drug prices, the conversation is dominated by the eye-popping sticker prices of certain new drugs.

Why Single Payer In the US Will Not Necessarily Lower Costs
A few days ago I wrote a multi-part tweet on the topic of whether single-payer in US health care would necessarily lower costs.

“We Are All Like Elephants”
*“We Are All Like Elephants”* by Marc Chernoff "In many ways, our past experiences have conditioned us to believe that we are less capable than we are. All too often we let the rejections of our past dictate every move we make. We literally do not know ourselves to be any better than what some opinionated person or narrow circumstance once told us was true. Of course, an old rejection doesn’t mean we aren’t good enough; it just means some person or circumstance from our past failed to align with what we had to offer at the time. But somehow we don’t see it that way - we hit a menta... more »

Military Pollution: The Hidden Costs Of War

"Confirmation bias" and "groupthink" are mostly verbally opposed by hypocritical lying demagogues
On Saturday, I argued against the widespread meme saying that ideologies are bad and we must avoid them which is extremely counterproductive because any coherent network of principles or propositions that allows us to treat, evaluate, compare, or interpret other ideas or statements rationally is an "ideology". The only question is which ideology we end up with. For understandable reasons, the "anti-ideological people" generally end up being more extreme and mindless leftists than anyone else. They are ready to embrace any idea claimed to be "progressive"; they can't fairly compare t... more »
TRUMP NATION, INDEFINITELY?
I've been saying for a while that the Republican Party won't return to even Bush-era "normalcy" (which was bad enough) once Donald Trump is out of office -- sorry, Nikki Haley and John Kasich, but the next Republican presidential nominee will be a Trumpite. Ross Barkan agrees, and he makes a point that hadn't occurred to me: The next GOP nominee will be a Trumpite *because Trump will turn the contest into a test of the candidates' loyalty to him.* I’ve heard Democrats hope that Trump’s departure from the White House, whenever that may be, will render him irrelevant. But he is no Obam... more »

Obama's Magical Thumb
Just as Barack Obama once bragged that he was the only thing standing between the criminal financial class and millions of angry "pitchforks," he's now posing as the only thing standing between panic-stricken oligarchs and Bernie Sanders.
