Well it would seem that things have descended even further, going from bad to horrible, as video footage is now circulating of police actually attacking young children for simply not wearing masks, throwing them on the ground to cuff them, and even pepper-spraying a 12-year-old ... read more

THE ENDLESS WAIT FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY'S COMEUPPANCEGreg Sargent is predicting the Republicans' doom again. *The latest GOP anti-mask lunacy is stirring a backlash. New polling reveals it.* The other day, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis likened mask and other health mandates to “medical authoritarianism.” The Republican added that we may be witnessing “the most significant threat to freedom in my lifetime, certainly since the fall of the Berlin Wall.” Because DeSantis was speaking in the hermetically sealed-off information universe of Fox News, such drivel was certain to elicit approval. But outside of that universe — with DeSantis and T... read more

The New Network LiteratureArms Race by Khahn Tran. (Source: https://cybervisuals.org/) A review of Daniel W. Drezner, Henry Farrell and Abraham L. Newman, eds., “The Uses and Abuses of Weaponized Interdependence” (Brookings Institution Press, 2021). ***** Networks are a fundamental aspect of international politics, but how to understand them has long bedeviled international relations scholars. As Robert Jervis cautioned in 1997, networks defy efforts to isolate single variables or focus narrowly on bilateral relations; the structure of the international network itself has its own influence on outcomes.

Does Russia Have a Secret Plan To Beat NATO's Aircraft?*Charlie Gao* *Russia, * The Struna-1 bistatic radar could pose a significant threat to stealth NATO aircraft and America's F-22s and F-35s in a future conflict. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Struna-1 is different than most radars, in that it is a bistatic radar. Meaning the Struna-1 relies on the receiver and transmitter of the radar to be in two different locations as opposed to conventional radar technology where the receiver and transmitter are located in the same location. Ever since the development of stealth technology for aircraft, many different systems have been ... read more

What Taliban Control Means for Women in Afghanistan*Peter Suciu* *Afghanistan, Asia* There is a sense of dread about what the future will be like for Afghanistan’s women and young girls. There are many places around the globe that aren’t welcoming for western women, and while that remains true for much of the Islamic world, Afghanistan has quickly reverted to its old ways as the Taliban have retaken control of the central Asian nation. As a result, there are reports that CNN reporter Clarissa Ward was told to stand aside – simply because she is female. “They’ve just told me to stand to the side because I’m a woman,” Ward said ... read more

Could the Afghan Taliban’s Victory Be a Win for America?*Farhang Faraydoon Namdar* *Afghanistan, Asia* Although the United States is ostensibly on the losing side of the story in Afghanistan, it has much to gain from the Taliban take over. The United States removed the Taliban in 2001 due to its nurturing of terror groups that threatened world security. The new Taliban in control of Afghanistan has changed and has turned pragmatic, especially in foreign policy. Could this new Taliban become the government the United States worked to build in Afghanistan? Previously, the Taliban militant group was dominated by ideologues, and it stric... read more

The Myth That the Rich Rule America*Rainer Zitelmann* *American Politics, * If money alone could buy political power, Joe Biden would not be president today. Many people claim that America’s wealthiest citizens set the country’s political agenda. All around the world, the USA is held up as a prime example of how, in capitalist countries, the rich not only dominate the economy but also politics. For many, the fact that Donald Trump, who is known for his wealth, became president seems to confirm this thesis. But if you look closer, Trump’s election actually proves the opposite.

Taliban Spokesperson Holds First News Conference In Kabul*WNU Editor: *The Taliban were saying the same thing when they took over the country in the 1990s. They lied then. They are lying now. The reason for this current media campaign is that they need to get Afghans back to work. To get services running. To make sure the phones, water, and electricity grid work. They also need foreign aid to continue into the country. But the problem with the Taliban media campaign is that they said the same thing 25 years ago. But when the situation became stabilized in the 1990s they then started their reign of terror. IMHO the Taliban have no... read more
