This caused the Senate's most notorious closet case to pull his head out of Trump's butt to hiss some anti-Rand assertions before reinse... more »

On Truth and Incertitude
All philosophies aim to find the truth, but what is truth is itself a philosophical question. Before a philosopher begins his search for the truth, he must commit himself to a theory of the truth. There is one thing that a philosopher must not lose sight of: incertitude. Incertitude is not the same thing as skepticism; it denotes the realization that it’s not possible to find the answer to the fundamental questions of philosophy and that the quest for certainty is futile and can have adverse consequences in ethics and politics.

"What Truly Defines You..."
"For many people, life is full of pain, suffering. It doesn't consist of clear blue skies or fresh green grass that's always greener on the other side. It's filled with hardships, grief, betrayal, and death.These things define the human condition. They define the sort of person an individual grows up to be, once those tribulations have, for the most part, ended. But what truly defines you isn't the fact that you have seen death, known the feeling of betrayal by someone you trust, or watched as something you loved was ripped out of your hands. What truly defines you is the way you r... more »

IS SUSAN COLLINS THE IVANKA TRUMP OF THE SENATE?
This CBS report plays on many anti-Trumpers' hopes for a *deus ex machina* that will drive the president from power, but I'm skeptical: The White House is preparing for some Republican senators to join Democrats in voting to call witnesses in President Trump's impeachment trial, which could get underway in the coming days. Senior White House officials tell CBS News they increasingly believe that at least four Republicans, and likely more, will vote to call witnesses. In addition to Senators Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Mitt Romney of Utah and possibly Cory Gardn... more »
Is India's New F-21 Fighter Really Just a Souped-up F-16?
*David Axe* *Security, Asia* [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/LITHUANIA-NATO--GF10000101485.html] Let's take a look. *Key point:* New Dehli may still decide it doesn't want the F-21.

Trying to Turn NATO Into NATOME: A Trump Administration Adventure
*Matthew Petti* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Donald Trump wants the U.S.-European alliance to do more work in the Middle East. But are America’s allies on board with his counter-Iran campaign? Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made a flurry of phone calls over the weekend in support of President Donald Trump’s call to turn the North Atlantic Treaty Organization into “NATOME,” adding two letters for “the Middle East.” Trump has been a longtime critic of NATO, a Cold War-era pact that commits the United States and Canada to defend Europe from Russian aggression.

China has reaffirmed its policy of never being the first in a conflict to use nuclear weapons. Experts refer to this policy as “no first use,” or NFU. The NFU policy reaffirmation, contained in Beijing’s July 2019 strategic white paper, surprised some observers who expected a more expansive and aggressive nuclear posture from the risin... more »

Resistance Is Futile: The Real Reason Why China Seeks Submissive Partners
*Kathryn Waldron* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] The Chinese Communist Party’s ability to root out dissenters and reinforce its narrative of supremacy has grown dramatically over the past decade thanks to the Party’s embrace of more sinister uses of technology. When Deng Xiaoping enacted China’s Open Door Policy in 1978, many Westerners assumed the liberalization of China’s economy would eventually be matched by a similar liberalization in the country’s political structure; they assumed that, as the Chinese people became accustomed to the freedom to make their own economic ch... more »
Risks to the Japan-China 'Tactical Detente'
*Devin Stewart* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Long-standing tensions between China and Japan thus could reemerge and threaten the current detente. One area of risk that gets less attention is China’s influence operations, which can spark a backlash in Japan and throw relations back off track. Japan is preparing for Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s spring 2020 state visit, which will serve as a litmus test of the historically fraught bilateral relationship. The meeting could produce a signed “fifth political document” defining the relationship. While Japanese prime minister Shinzo ... more »
