How Serbia’s Coronavirus Vaccines are Resetting Balkan Animosities
Harun Karčić, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Harun Karčić* *Balkans Coronavirus, Balkans* Serbia’s vaccine success story with the help of China and Russia will have strong geopolitical repercussions and are likely to cement a long-term Russian and Chinese presence in the region. “Are you going to Belgrade for a free vaccine?’’ This is one of the most common questions you can hear these days in Bosnia, Montenegro, and North Macedonia. The region is witnessing a spike in the number of Covid-19 infections and a huge number of deaths. In fact, Bosnia’s capital Sarajevo had, through the latter part of March 2021, the highest n...
Interests Over Ambitions: How Joe Biden Can Get a Win on Iran
Alexander Langlois, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Alexander Langlois* *Iran Diplomacy, Middle East* Long-term U.S. interests demand a shift away from the region, meaning that Iran and the United States will share overlapping interests should initial diplomatic overtures be resolved. The United States often tries to do too much with foreign policy. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Biden administration’s attempts to re-enter the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with Iran. Maximalist approaches on Iran are driving the current game of chicken between the two states—much to the detriment of Middle East security an...
The Jerusalem Declaration’s Bogus Definition of Anti-Semitism
Gerald M. Steinberg, Asaf Romirowsky, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Gerald M. Steinberg, Asaf Romirowsky* *Anti-Semitism, World* By politicizing and undermining this consensus, the Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism and the wider counter- International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance campaigns are opening the door for even more violence targeting Israeli and Jewish institutions. In 2016, following major attacks targeting Jewish and Israeli targets around the world, and based on earlier text adopted by the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia, the government-based International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) published a tw...
The Deal Is Not Enough: Why America Must Get More From Iran
Robert Clark, Eric Robinson, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Robert Clark, Eric Robinson* *Iran JCPOA, Middle East* The flaws of the original JCPOA have been highlighted and thoroughly exploited. A new, more comprehensive deal is now urgently needed. Ahead of this week’s talks in Vienna for the failing Iranian nuclear deal, Iran’s refusal last week to stop enriching uranium to 20 percent in return for sanctions relief is yet another signal that a return to 2015’s nuclear deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), is both undesirable and unattainable. Last Monday the Biden administration moved to revive talks over the JCPOA, by...
Suicide at Sea: How Russia’s Kursk Submarine Met a Fiery End
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Russian Submarines, Europe* The Oscars needed to be fast to intercept American nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and that meant they too needed nuclear propulsion. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *In the end, the sinking of the *Kursk* appears to have been caused by a simple, freak accident of chemistry. The tragedy only reinforces how dangerous life aboard a submarine really is, and how important safety is in the underwater realm. In 2000, a Russian submarine designed to sink aircraft carriers became a victim of its own arsenal. The cruise-missile submarine ...

When Titans Clash: How the Russo-Japanese War Transformed Asia
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Russo-Japan War, Asia* Land combat between Russian and Japanese forces in 1904 and 1905 was recognizably modern. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Battle of Yalu River, the Siege of Port Arthur, and the Battle of Sendepu differ from 20th century land combat only in emphasis. Both Japanese and Russian forces suffered enormous casualties in efforts to take prepared defenses. The Battle of Mukden, fought in March 1905, produced a total of nearly 150,000 casualties. The Russo-Japanese War commenced over 100 years ago, lasting eighteen months before a US-broker...
Wanna Blow Up the World: A U.S.-China War Could Do It
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, Asia* If the United States was deeply surprised to find itself at war with the People’s Republic of China, a country that hadn’t even existed the year before, it was even more surprised to find itself losing that war. It happened then and it could happen again. *Here’s What You Need to Remember:* In November 1950, China and the United States went to war. Thirty-six thousand Americans died, along with upwards of a quarter-million Chinese, and half a million or more Koreans. If the United States was deeply surprised to find itself at war with the People’s...
Could Russia Have Really Won the Cold War?
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Russia Cold War, Europe* In retrospect, Soviet defeat seems overdetermined. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The United States certainly enjoyed tremendous advantages in 1945, including the world’s most robust economy, an advanced technological base, a well-developed set of internal economic infrastructure, and a relatively appealing sociopolitical model. But few who actively fought the Cold War believed in American invincibility. Could the Soviets have won the Cold War? In retrospect, Soviet defeat seems overdetermined.

Steal or Barter: How China Got Its Hands on These Five Powerful Weapons

*Robert Farley* *Chinese Military, Asia* [image: Chinese Military] These weapons were reversed engineered or else copy technology that was stolen from America or Russia. *Key point: *Beijing knows that having a modern military makes a big difference. This is how China went about getting high-end platforms through nearly any means necessary. As the People’s Republic of China (PRC) emerged from war and revolution in 1949, it became apparent that the Chinese economy lacked the capacity to compete with the U.S. or the U.S.S.R. in the production of advanced military technology.

Costco Bans Monsanto’s Glyphosate From All U.S. Stores, Begins Carrying Organic Alternatives Instead
Nick Meyer, AltHealthWorks.com - 9 hours ago
Costco is well known among diehard shoppers as a supporter of organic and natural foods, having become the top seller of organic products in September 2016, surpassing Whole Foods for the #1 spot. The company was eventually surpassed by Wal-Mart and currently sits at #2 on the overall list in the United States, but they seem to be improving by the day, if their latest major endeavor is any indication.

Historic New Bill Would Ban Pesticides Linked to Bee Die-Offs and Brain Damage in Children
Nick Meyer, AltHealthWorks.com - 10 hours ago
The agricultural sector in the United States has been mostly unchanged for decades, utilizing a system of toxic, synthetic pesticides and monocultures that is highly profitable for companies like Bayer, Monsanto, but one that has also been shown to be extremely harmful to pollinator populations. In January 2021, the latest monarch butterfly count among California wintering populations showed a shocking decline from the previous year’s count, highlight a decline of 99.9% since the 1980s, and the widely used pesticide glyphosate has been strongly implicated in these deaths.
