Will NATO Non-Member's In Europe Join NATO If Russia Invades Ukraine?
*Andreas Kluth, Bloomberg: **Europe to Russia: Invade Ukraine, and We All Join NATO* (Bloomberg Opinion) -- You may not have been glued to the annual new year’s address by Finland’s president. That’s understandable but unfortunate, because Sauli Niinisto said some remarkable things. His speech should give the European Union an idea, to be discussed not just in Brussels but also — and especially — in the capitals of Sweden, Austria, Ireland, Cyprus and Malta. These six countries all belong to the EU but are otherwise officially non-aligned, meaning that they are not members of N... read more

Sidney Poitier (1927 - 2022)
One of my heroes has just died, at the age of 94. In every role he played, actor Sidney Poitier was the very model of dignity, intelligence and resolve. And he invariably had a twinkle in his eye too. If you haven't before, I strongly recommend you catch up with my three favourites of all his films: 1. *In the Heat of the Night* 2. *Guess Who's Coming to Dinner*, and 3. *Raisin in the Sun.* It's literally true to say that they don't make them like this anymore. Neither the films, nor the man. Content is copyright PC.BlogSpot.Com © Permission to republish is granted... read more

Why I’m a contrarian on fiscal policy
David Levey directed me to a thoughtful post by Olivier Blanchard, which discusses the case for using fiscal policy. Here’s how he starts the post: Over the last decade, it has become obvious that the decline in real interest rates forced us to revisit the scope and the role of fiscal policy. This is what […] The post Why I’m a contrarian on fiscal policy appeared first on Econlib. read more
Ukraine: What Does It Have To Do With Black Folks?
The worldview of liberals usually ends at the borders of the U.S. settler-state until they are mobilized by the oligarchy to provide ideological cover for the latest imperialist intrigue. This is as true for the liberal Black “misleadership” class as it is for Euro-American liberals. But U.S.-centrism and class collaboration are not just maladies of the liberal class. Self-identified radicals or leftists from all backgrounds also suffer from this affliction, resulting in a very thin social base for anti-imperialism in the U.S., and even throughout Western Europe. So, Ukraine, Russ... read more
Is It The End Of American Adventurism?
One year into the Joe Biden administration and most of the world has accepted two realities. First, America is not back, and Biden’s slogans notwithstanding, there simply is no going back to the pre-Trump era. Secondly, whether America keeps troops in various parts of the world or brings them home, America’s will to fight is by and large no longer there. Its implications for the trans-Atlantic relationship will be profound. Europe would be wise to pro-actively adjust its defense policies accordingly. American decision-makers have long warned allies and partners that the United St... read more
US Public School Teachers Fight For COVID Safety
In New York City, around 200 public school teachers and community members rallied outside the Barclays Center on January 5 to demand safety measures as the COVID-19 positivity rate skyrockets.

Peace And Justice Organizations Call For Freedom For Julian Assange
Imprisoned Wikileaks founder, journalist and free speech champion Julian Assange today faces life imprisonment for telling the truth about U.S. war crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan and at the U.S. torture base in Guantanamo Bay. Assange faces charges under the 1917 U.S. Espionage Act. Prosecution under that WWI anti-democratic law placed thousands of antiwar activists in prison for exercising their free speech right to protest WWI.

The Ties That Bind Canadian Military To USA
Canadian admirals and generals often act as if this country’s armed forces are an appendage of the US military, but it’s a mistake to simply label them US lackeys. As I detailed recently, the Canadian Forces (CF) have assisted their US counterparts through naval missions, special forces deployments, peacekeeping missions, chemical weapons testing, wars and much more. Canadian military leaders are constantly seeking to strengthen their ties with the US military. In 2013 secret discussions were held to “fully integrate” the US and Canadian militaries, according to the CBC. The meet... read more
Justin Trudeau continues to punish the fully vaccinated
Justin Trudeau's lies aren't just beginning to unravel. They have become outright ridiculous. That is why Justin Trudeau hate is sweeping the country.

New Year's Resolution: Eliminate "Rigor" from Education Lexicon
If there is a single word that comes close to capturing the zeitgeist of corporate education austerity policies that have metastasized since the Reagan era (among both Democrats and Republicans), it would be a five-letter signifier that has done more damage to effective and humane schooling than any one word in the English language: "rigor." If you can believe the education efficiency zealots of the last two generations, the answer to most questions about schooling have the same answer: more "rigor."
