Is the South Korea Nuclear Umbrella Worth the Risk to America?
*Doug Bandow* *Nuclear Weapons, Asia* Nuclear nonproliferation is a worthy goal, but so far, the United Kingdom, France, China, Israel, India, Pakistan, and North Korea have followed Washington and Moscow in putting their security first. South Korea probably would do the same. North Korea’s continued pursuit of nuclear weapons has encouraged greater South Korean interest in developing nuclear weapons. Two months ago popular support for constructing a nuclear deterrent hit 69 percent in the south. The issue has enlivened the ongoing presidential campaign. Observed journalist Mort... read more
China and the EU Are No Examples for U.S. Tech Innovation

How China Could Test the U.S. Commitment to Taiwan
*Ted Galen Carpenter* *Taiwan, Asia* Xi Jinping and his colleagues would have legitimate reasons to doubt whether the United States would be willing to risk a horribly destructive war with China over small islands that are merely claimed by Taipei.

Fatah Refuses To Accept Results And Recount Process Due To Poor Showing In Iraq’s Oct Election
(AFP) The Fatah list is refusing to accept that it did not do well in Iraq’s latest election.

It demanded that all the ballots be recounted manually. The committee is pushing this agenda with protests in Baghdad and various southern cities.

COVID-19 in Africa: It's not just undercounting - it's pre-medicating
A recent article in Quartz online magazine suggested that the reason so few reports of COVID-19 cases, fatalities, etc. were coming out of Africa is that they're being under-counted and/or under-reported. The inefficiency of the health care system in that continent and the various and sundry bureaucracies involved are blamed for the lack of information.
