Afghanistan: Chinese Reconstruction vs. US Sanctions
*August 29, 2021* (Brian Berletic - NEO) - Beijing now has a key opportunity to demonstrate the stark contrast between its brand of foreign policy and Washington’s through its own plan to aid in the reconstruction of Afghanistan. A Global Times piece titled, “China to offer ‘genuine’ aid in Afghanistan’s economic reconstruction amid chaotic transition,” in title alone infers that the US – despite occupying Afghanistan for two decades – never genuinely sought to build up the nation. Ironically, this is not a notion entertained only by Beijing and its allies – it has also been the... read more

When Empires FallWhen an empire falls it does not disappear in a puff of smoke. A new empire does not appear immediately to occupy its space. The geopolitical structure of the empire that falls is usually the first to go, then go the dominant institutions of its domestic political structure, but the cultural, religious, and financial institutions, and some of the political institutions get reinterpreted and transmitted in several ways and remain in existence for centuries. The Persian Empire fell in the fourth century BC, but its cultural and linguistic legacy can still be detected in the Middle Eas... read more

"A Look to the Heavens"
“Close to the Great Bear (Ursa Major) and surrounded by the stars of the Hunting Dogs (Canes Venatici), this celestial wonder was discovered in 1781 by the metric French astronomer Pierre Mechain. Later, it was added to the catalog of his friend and colleague Charles Messier as M106. Modern deep telescopic views reveal it to be an island universe - a spiral galaxy around 30 thousand light-years across located only about 21 million light-years beyond the stars of the Milky Way. Along with a bright central core, this stunning galaxy portrait, a composite of image data from amateur and... read more

"When a bull is being lead to the slaughter, it still hopes to break loose and trample its butchers. Other bulls have not been able to pass on the knowledge that this never happens and that from the slaughterhouse there is no way back to the herd. But in human society there is a continuous exchange of experience. I have never heard of a man who broke away and fled while being led to his execution. It is even thought to be a special form of courage if a man about to be executed refuses to be blindfolded and dies with his eyes open. But I would rather have the bull with his blind rage... read more

Rethink ‘Power’ in a New Era of ‘Great Power Competition’ *Brad Glosserman* *Technology, Americas* National security is assuming new dimensions and expressions in the digital era. It isn’t enough to acknowledge the new realities of great-power competition or for people to think they know what that means. While U.S. administrations see with increasing clarity the reality of their country’s relationship with China, it isn’t clear that they grasp the implications of great-power competition with China. Technology is central to the new competition and U.S. policymakers rely on a well-established, time-tested—and sadly outdated—strategic pers... read more

China Is Not Germany Before World War I*Paul Heer* *China, Eurasia* The rejection of an accommodative approach to China is based on specious assumptions about Beijing’s strategic intentions and the premature dismissal of the potential benefits of reciprocal diplomacy.

This reading of history seems to indicate that the hegemonic ambitions and expansionist appetites of both empires probably made war inevitable. Today, Chi... read more
