Joe Biden’s Iran Strategy Is Betting Big On The Wrong U.S. Allies

Eric Bordenkircher, The National Interest - 10 hours ago

*Eric Bordenkircher* *Security, Middle East* Biden’s strategy for addressing the Iran nuclear issue and Iranian regional behavior is tantamount to putting the cart in front of the horse. Joe Biden’s approach to the Iran nuclear issue and Iranian regional behavior is flawed. The former vice president is pursuing a strategy that defies logic and is informed by false assumptions. The realization of Biden’s strategy will threaten U.S. national security and undermine the advancement of U.S. interests in the Middle East.

Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 10 hours ago

*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia-Pacific* The heavily fortified island of Okinawa would prove to be the last—and toughest—nut to crack in the American island-hopping campaign in World War II. On Easter morning, April 1, 1945, the Pacific island of Okinawa trembled beneath an earthshaking bombardment from American combat aircraft overhead and ships steaming offshore in preparation for an amphibious landing of unprecedented magnitude.

Amy Coney Barrett Has A Long Record On Civil Procedure And Employment

Walter Olson, The National Interest - 10 hours ago

*Walter Olson* *Politics, Americas* There are plenty of reasons to oppose Barrett without lying or misinforming people about the law. Attorney James Wagstaffe writes for Law360 about Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s surprisingly extensive rulings on issues of civil procedure. A couple of big themes: On personal jurisdiction, like her mentor Antonin Scalia, Barrett is right in line with the (to me, welcome) modern developments in which the high court has pushed back against state courts’ assertion of “long‐​arm” power over out‐​of‐​state defendants. For example, “Judge Barrett regularly...

King Kamehameha’s Conquest of Hawaii

*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* Ruthless and determined, King Kamehameha eventually extended his rule from Hawaii to the other islands in the Pacific chain. *Key Point*: In early 1792, Kamehameha finally succeeded in taking complete control of the island of Hawaii. In July 1782, the island kingdom of Hawaii was fractured into three groups, beginning a power struggle that would last for the next 10 years.

Threats of Violence Against Women in U.S. Politics Is a Growing Problem

Mona Lena Krook, The National Interest - 10 hours ago

*Mona Lena Krook* *Politics, Americas* Violence restricts the scope of political debate, disrupts political work and deters women from entering public service. From plans to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s being called a “f—ing b—” by her colleague Rep. Ted Yoho, it’s been a nasty year for women in American politics. Now, some women who’ve been targets of such misogyny want to put this problem on the congressional agenda. On Sept. 24, House Democrats Rashida Tlaib, Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Jackie Speier introduced a resolutio...

19th-Century Political Parties Kidnapped Voters and Printed Their Own Ballots

Kristin Kanthak, The National Interest - 10 hours ago

*Kristin Kanthak* *History, Americas* That’s why we have laws regulating behavior at polling places. Author Edgar Allan Poe, the 19th-century master of American macabre, may have died of dirty politics. According to legend, a gang of party “poll hustlers” kidnapped and drugged him. They forced him to vote, then abandoned him near death. Details are murky, but we do know Poe died in Baltimore days after an election. The story, though likely untrue, is certainly possible. Election Day in 19th-century America was a loud, raucous, often dangerous event. Political parties would offer...

The Reverberations of Pompeo’s Iraq Threat Are Growing

Michael Rubin, The National Interest - 10 hours ago

*Michael Rubin* *Iraq, Middle East* If the Trump administration were serious about helping Iraq fight malign groups, Iraqis say, then it should not have transformed Iraq into a battlefield but rather target the militia’s sponsors outside Iraqi territory, including in Iran.

Iraq’s 2021 Election Faces Another Dilemma As Judge Retires

Joel Wing, MUSINGS ON IRAQ - 12 hours ago

(Kurdistan 24) In August Iraq’s Election Commission laid out four preconditions for the 2021 voting to take place. First, parliament had to revise the election law. Second, the Election Commission needed a budget approved. Third, the United Nations and international organizations had to set up a process to advise and monitor the balloting. Last, the Judicial law had to be passed and fill an empty position on the Supreme Court because the judges would resolve any disputes that might arise over the votes.

For Azerbaijahn to proceed onto higher ground will be much harder than the previous fighting.

Justin Trudeau's government survived yesterday. But the Conservatives are already serving up another motion.
