Tax Sanctions and Foreign PolicyMembers of the Senate Finance Committee in 2018. (Official photo by U.S. Customs and Border Protection) Amid the search for economic leverage over Russia, Sen. Ron Wyden has proposed utilizing tax law to deny tax credits to U.S. companies that pay Russian taxes. The proposal also limits the scope of the U.S.-Russia tax treaty, and it might enhance the pressure of financial sanctions. But Wyden’s proposal requires congressional approval—a fact that reveals how difficult it is to use tax policy as a tool of economic statecraft. Congress needs to rethink tax law so it can complement ... read more

Eurasianism – and its several declinations – treats the complex Russian identity as double-faced, between east and west.

Eurasianism also weighs on closer relations with Central Asia and necessary alliances, in various degrees,... read more

Nobody Is Pro-AbortionHere's the thing. Nobody is pro-abortion. Nobody's position on the issue is "We need more abortions in this country." Women are not out there thinking, "I hope I can get pregnant so that I can get an abortion again because that was super-awesome." In other words, at the heart of one of our most contentious issues is a pretty solid agreement that fewer abortions would be a good thing. Just a couple of things get in our way. Most obvious is a disagreement about methods. The thing is, we already know what works and what doesn't. Criminalizing abortion doesn't work. When abortions w... read more

This leads us back to our many discussions of a basic question: *What is a "sociopath?"* As we've noted in recent years, it's generally stated that a certain (non-trivial) percentage of American men are diagnosable as "sociopaths."
