The Hidden Benefits of Great-Power Conflict with China and Russia

Jyri Raitasalo at Test Feed Using Fields - 2 hours ago
*Jyri Raitasalo* *Great Power Conflict, Eurasia* The western discourse on the negative or threatening aspects of the ongoing Beijing and Moscow gray-zone operations is based on a faulty understanding of statecraft or grand strategy. *The fact that practically all serious security threats facing the West have moved to the gray zone is a positive thing. This means that most—if not all—threats that the western states are confronting are nonmilitary in nature. This development has reduced the probability of war breaking out between western states and their adversaries. This is a new ... more »

Israel's Uphill Battle with Iran in Syria

On January 20, an Israeli enjoying an afternoon ski was shocked to see a rocket launched by an Iron Dome air defense battery.

Patrick M. Cronin at Test Feed Using Fields - 2 hours ago
*Patrick M. Cronin* *China, Asia-Pacific* The nuanced Chinese rebuttals concerning economic issues do not extend to those concerning defense or security, and have become increasingly menacing in nature. There is a gathering hysteria about the China threat. It's coming from Beijing. While bipartisan concern about China mounts in Washington, officials describe the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as a rival, not a threat. Beijing is less restrained, as suggested by an emerging pattern of bellicose rhetoric and provocative behavior. China is raising the decibel level on U.S. and a... more »

Governor Northam and the raging Democrats

Norma at Collecting My Thoughts - 3 hours ago
I think the Democrats are throwing Northam under the bus (aka eating their own) because the Lt. Gov. is black, young and even more progressive. Easy win. No cost to the party. Of course, it's not a win for the black Americans of Virginia. Whether it's a black president, mayor, governor or caucus, their politicians have failed them. Success for black Americans is still marriage, education and a good job. Same for all of us. I have no love for Northam, for sure. People who are more concerned about a yearbook that’s 35 years old than what he said last week about infanticide deserve ... more »

*"The Message of Pain: Valuable Information"* by Madisyn Taylor, The DailyOM "Both emotional and physical pain are messages that we need to stop and pay attention. When we feel pain, our first impulse is often to eradicate it with medication. This is an understandable response, but sometimes in our hurry to get rid of pain, we forget that it is the body's way of letting us know that it needs our attention. A headache can inform us that we're hungry or stressed just as a sore throat might be telling us that we need to rest our voice. If we override these messages instead of respond t... more »

Using an earlier example, if I see you on the street and I say, "Hey, you are so stupid," without knowing you, it's not about you; it's about me. If you take it personally, perhaps you believe you are stupid. Maybe you think to yourself, "How does he know? Is he clairvoyant, or can everybody see how stupid I am?" You take it personally because you agree with whatever was said. As soon as you agree, the poison goes through you, and you are trapped in the dream of hell. Wha... more »

Because it's not about seeing the Rams winning. The Patriots must lose. And we Americans are very adept at doing that- pretending to root for someone or something when what we're really do... more »

Bob Dinn at balance10 - 8 hours ago
*We* must also point out that there are areas in human thought and feeling that have never been keyed to the divine potential because they have never been recognized as threads leading to a higher realization of selfhood. Individuals in their outer sophistication often feel that they have discovered all there is to know about themselves. How wrong they are! Man being a creature of the infinite may manifest finite qualities; but this does not mean that he cannot one day discover the blazing reality of the infinite side of himself. And when he does he will feel like a babe wa... more »
