For Pakistan, a Changed Afghanistan Requires a New Approach*Kashoon Leeza, Zahid Shahab Ahmed* *Pakistan, Asia* Pakistan’s new Afghanistan policy is shaped by a combination of geo-economic and geopolitical realities in which the threat of extremism and China’s Belt and Road Initiative play a key role. Since the Taliban’s takeover of the whole of Afghanistan following the defeat of Ahmad Massoud’s forces in Panjshir, local and regional actors like Iran and India have criticized Pakistan’s alleged role. Despite these rumors in the presence of a widespread propaganda campaign against Pakistan, one cannot deny that Islamabad has a new region... read more

Southeast Asian Ruling Parties Pose a Problem for Biden’s Democracy Agenda*Dan Slater* *Pivot to Asia, Asia-Pacific* Around the world and across recent history, single-party regimes have been both better governed and less likely to stir up international trouble than military regimes or personalist regimes. In its relations with Asia, the Biden administration is trying to accomplish three feats at once. It wants to complete the “pivot to Asia” of the Obama-Biden years, build stronger partnerships, and emphasize shared democratic values. Little tension exists among these three goals in Northeast Asia, where Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan are enduring Ame... read more

Revenge is mine, saith the Lord...* I've no wish to disturb the peace of Sunday, so I'll just leave this here for your perusal and pondering.* Anyone who thinks they will escape the wrath of God is in for a nasty surprise. *Deuteronomy 32:31-35* For our God is not as their gods: our enemies themselves are judges. Their vines are of the vineyard of Sodom, and of the suburbs of Gomorrha: their grapes are grapes of gall, and their clusters most bitter. Their wine is the gall of dragons, and the venom of asps, which is incurable. Are not these things stored up with me, and sealed up in my treasures? *Revenge is ... read more

Atheism Among Muslims is “Spreading Like Wildfire”*Daniel Pipes* *Islam, Middle East* Atheism among Muslim populations was once unthinkable. But individuals are now renouncing Islam at greater rates than ever before. Ex-Muslims are publicly flaunting their rejection of Islam as never before: a steamy tell-all memoir tops the country’s best-seller lists. One video (with 1.5 million views) shows a copy of the Koran ripped into pieces; another video shows a woman in a bikini cooking and eating bacon; and blasphemous cartoons of Muhammad. Beyond such provocations, ex-Muslims work to change the image of Islam. Wafa Sultan went on Al... read more

Nuclear Dilemma: New Challenges for a New Era of Arms Control*Peter Huessy* *Arms Control, United States* Russia’s new nuclear weapons and China’s expanding arsenal will be difficult to address in future arms control agreements. The United States’ nuclear arsenal has been shaped by six major bilateral arms control agreements with the Soviet Union and Russia that date to the Strategic Arms Limitations Talks in 1972 (SALT I). That agreement provided a cap on the number of deployed warheads and launchers. The Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty agreement of 1991 (START I) marked the beginning of a significant decrease in deployed strategic nuclea... read more

F-35A Vs. F-35B: Which Variant Is Superior?*Charlie Gao* *F-35 Stealth Fighter, * It's hard to go wrong with either variant of this powerful stealth fighter. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The F-35B, by comparison, is pretty much the same aircraft as the A, with just some limitations on maneuverability and weapons. It features the same top-notch sensor systems, radar, and datalink capabilities that the A brings to the table. Oftentimes, the F-35 has been colloquially referred to as one aircraft in the media, or various versions of the F-35 have been conflated with each other. However, despite their shared “program,”... read more

Twilight of Justice or Its Dawn?
(By *American Zen*'s Mike Flannigan, on loan from Ari,) *O*ne could say company picnics were bigger than yesterday's rally in DC. And, yes, we should be grateful that there wasn't the slightest shred of evidence of the historic violence that had marked and marred January 6th. In fact, one is surprised it already has its own Wikipedia page. CNN roving correspondents' & Capitol Police estimates had put the "crowd" at about 400-450. That's right, as in hundreds. High school girl's field hockey matches attract larger crowds. The press, sent on a wild goose chase, was said to have ou... read more

Chinese Weapons are Supercharging Pakistan's Military*Charlie Gao* *Pakistan, China, Asia* Sometimes it pays to have friends. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *It is widely said that China provided significant assistance to the Pakistani nuclear weapons program (in addition to the A.Q. Khan’s espionage). China is alleged to have provided missile components, warhead designs, and even highly-enriched uranium. As Pakistan’s relationship has soured with the United States in the past two decades, Pakistan’s armed forces have largely looked towards Chinese suppliers for equipment.

"A Look to the Heavens"
"In this Hubble Space Telescope image the bright, spiky stars lie in the foreground toward the heroic northern constellation Perseus and well within our own Milky Way galaxy. In sharp focus beyond is UGC 2885, a giant spiral galaxy about 232 million light-years distant. Some 800,000 light-years across compared to the Milky Way's diameter of 100,000 light-years or so, it has around 1 trillion stars. That's about 10 times as many stars as the Milky Way. Part of an investigation to understand how galaxies can grow to such enormous sizes, UGC 2885 was also part of An Interesting Voyage ... read more
