Putin has a chance to conquer France

I'm guessing that the French presidential election isn't high on your current list of interests. If not, I suggest you take a long look at the photos that feature Vladimir Putin communing with one of his favorite goons, far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen.

Security in post-American Middle East

The Middle East is learning to live without America. While the United States will continue to shape regional security, not least through its advanced weapons systems, its (perceived) retreat from the Middle East has raised serious doubts about its willingness to fulfill its commitments to its allies.

Push for new antitrust rules infested with cronyism?

An unlikely coalition of senators is backing Minnesota Democrat Amy Klobuchar's bill to drastically overhaul the nation's antitrust laws. They may want to give her proposal another read, because there are things about it that might not be what they seem.

Discouraging deterrence

Among the torrent of comments over the war in Ukraine is the view that if Ukraine had retained some degree of nuclear weapons capability instead of giving it all up in 1994, it would have had an effective deterrent to prevent Russia's involvement in the Donbas, its annexation of Crimea and its recent invasion of the country.

What is China's COVID endgame?

For most of the past two years, China's “zero-COVID” strategy was seen as a drastic but effective way to maintain impressively low infection rates. The Chinese government locked down millions of people at a time, ordering them to stay in their homes - or even in schools and office buildings.

China's abortion problem can't be regulated away

Recent official pronouncements in China have sparked speculation that tighter restrictions on abortion may be in the offing. Six months ago, the Chinese State Council issued guidelines to lower the number of abortions performed for non-medical reasons. And in February, China's family-planning association announced that the authorities would launch a special abortion intervent...

Applying double standards in Ukraine is risky business

Russia's suspension from the United Nations Human Rights Council was long overdue, even without the mass killing of innocent civilians in the Ukrainian town of Bucha.

Biden and Harris present shaky future for Democrats

In the history of the Watergate scandal of 1972 - arguably the most egregious instance of government corruption in the nation's history - one of the consistent narratives involves the cold political calculation reached by embattled President Richard Nixon that he was shielded from impeachment because Congress was horrified at the prospect of a President Spiro Agnew.

Latin America's new 'pink tide'?

If former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva reclaims the post in this October's election (as now seems likely), and if Colombia's leftist presidential candidate, Gustavo Petro, wins in May, their victories would build on a wave that began with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's victory in 2018.
