Russia’s Anti-Putin Protests Will Increase Tensions Between It and America
Michael Kimmage, The National Interest - 45 minutes ago
*Michael Kimmage* *Russia, Europe* The revival of potent pro-democracy opposition to Putin after four years of Donald Trump proves an important point about U.S.-Russian relations. When Donald Trump became president, he vowed to transform U.S. Russia policy, and he did. He refused to characterize the United States as morally superior to Russia. He spoke admiringly of Vladimir Putin. As in other parts of the world, Trump eschewed democracy promotion in Russia—most effectively by placing the democratic bona fides of the United States in question at home. With his enthusiasm for Brex...

The Creation of the Universe
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 2 hours ago
One of the teachings of the Vedas is that the Brahman, who is the ultimate principle and mover of the universe, does not dwell in the universe; rather, the universe dwells in him. Thus the Brahman does not create the universe, he becomes it—creation is not an act; it is an expression of the potentiality of the divine. The ancient Jewish texts preach a similar dictum—they say that God is the abode of the universe, but the universe is not the abode of God.

Is The U.S. Army In Great Shape?
War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 3 hours ago
NBC *Loren Thompson, Forbes:* *The U.S. Army Is In Great Shape. Let’s Not Screw It Up.* Domestic conditions in the U.S. over the last year have been so poor—a pandemic, a recession, an insurrection—that a casual observer could easily conclude the Trump years were a non-stop nightmare. The truth is more complicated. Not only did the economy grow steadily during Trump’s first three years, but some institutions actually benefitted from his priorities. The U.S. Army is a case in point. When Trump took office in early 2017, the service was worn out from 16 years of continuous warf...
These 5 Civil War’s are Some of the World’s Deadliest Conflicts

This translates to nearly 3,000 fatalities a day, a shocking number given the general lack of conventional, decisive combat. There are many types of civil wars.

America’s New Great-Power Problem
John Hemmings, James Rogers, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*John Hemmings, James Rogers* *Security, Americas* As an authoritarian state, contemporary China, much like the Nazi and Soviet regimes before it, has proven adroit at integrating the dimensions of state power to the extent that it appears more successful than the fatigued and exhausted liberal democracies.

Has Public Schooling Failed America?

*Neal McCluskey* *Education, Americas* Clearly, widespread public schooling has not prevented the decay of social cohesion and democratic norms. Could public schools have prevented the disgraceful, riotous attack on the U.S. Capitol? The question seems crazy. The mob, or at least a sizeable portion of it, was outraged and apparently convinced that our system of government had gone off the rails. That it had cheated them. How could public schools have done anything to stop that? It would, of course, be wildly unfair to blame public schooling for the breakdown of social cohesion ...
How The 2003 Iraq War Permanently Changed America’s Future

*Robert Farley* *Security, Middle East* In the case of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, it became apparent after the first few months that the war was not working out as its framers had envisioned. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The biggest change likely comes in a reassertion of the traditional reticence of the American public towards foreign military intervention, a reticence that waned after the fall of the Soviet Union, but has again become a major factor in the making of American foreign policy.
