Keir Starmer Means Business
Phil, All That Is Solid ... - 6 hours ago
Just look at the headline. * Look at the bloody state of the headline.* Yesterday at Prime Minister's Questions, Keir Starmer made plain his opposition to tax rises ahead of next week's budget. "Now is not the time for tax rises on families and businesses", he confidently asserted. He's right to a degree, working people are already paying the price for our Downing Street depression. But businesses? This raises the curious prospect of Dear Keir voting with rightwing rebels on the Tory benches against the coming budget and the Labour left ... supporting the government increasing the ...

LaRouche on MLK & Real Leadership
Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr., LaRouchePAC.com - All Posts - 7 hours ago
In a world where the political process seems utterly broken, many people are asking, who will lead this country? Where are our leaders? Remember, oftentimes, history has been changed not by elected or ordained officials, but individuals just like you and me, who were determined to represent the unrepresented—the forgotten men and women. And many times, those people changed the world forever. Here, Lyndon LaRouche addresses a Martin Luther King, Jr. Prayer Breakfast in 2004, and uses the example of Dr. King's life and commitment to show each of us what effective leadership really is...

Scientists have spotted yet another potentially worrisome new coronavirus variant that seems to be spreading rapidly in New York City and elsewhere in the Northeast.

As Deterrence Fails, the U.S. Needs to Pull Out of Iraq
Geoff LaMear, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Geoff LaMear* *Security, Middle East* Rather than juggle between confrontation and appeasement, the United States can reject this dichotomy altogether and simply leave militarily. Rockets struck the U.S. embassy in Baghdad on Monday, following two attacks targeting American military bases this past week. With many analysts attributing the spate of attacks to Iran, there is pressure on the Biden administration to pursue a hardline response against Iran. But U.S. security doesn’t depend on Iran’s culpability in the attack. Rather than choosing who to fight, President Joe Biden cou...
Hot Take: Nuclear Weapons Are Totally Overrated
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, * Nuclear weapons are over-hyped and over-talked about. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Nuclear weapons have, in an important sense, dominated international diplomacy for the last six decades. What they haven’t dominated is warfare, where they appear to be nearly useless in all configurations. “Overrated” is a challenging concept. In sports, a player can be “great” and “overrated” at the same time. Future Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Derek Jeter, for example, is quite clearly a “great” player, well deserving of the first ballot invitation ...
With These 5 Weapons, China Could Conquer Taiwan

*Robert Farley* *Security, * It's probably time for Taiwan to start considering a change in strategy away from relying on technological superiority. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* In the past, Taiwan could leverage technological superiority to enhance its primary defense over China.

This improvement has necessarily affected the military balance with Taiwan. With tensions between China and the United States growing, Taiwan’s position has become ev...

China Is Using ‘Vaccine Diplomacy’ to Gain Influence in the Middle East

*Bassem Aly Youssef* *Coronavirus, Middle East* China is managing to turn the Covid-19 crisis from a public relations disaster into an opportunity to arise as an international benefactor. The Covid-19 pandemic has fostered a global state of distress which compelled Middle Eastern countries to grapple with a much more uncertain and deteriorating socio-economic environment.

Bill Clinton Ignored Genocide in Rwanda. Will Joe Biden Ignore it in China?
Fred Fleitz, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Fred Fleitz* *China, Asia* It’s not too late for President Biden to live up to his responsibility as the leader of the free world to make it clear to Beijing that there will be no business as usual with the United States until the Uighur genocide ends. The Clinton administration chose not to call the mass murder of up to 800,000 ethnic Tutsis in Rwanda “genocide” because it felt the designation would legally require the United States to take action. And because it feared the political inconvenience. President Joe Biden is now facing a similar political conundrum with the Chines...

What If the U.S. Navy Had Turned Down the F-14 Tomcat?

For Israel, the Iran Threat Extends Far Beyond Nuclear Weapons
