If The U.S. Bombed Iran What Would Happen In The Minutes And Hours After The Bombing
*Mike Pearl, VICE News*: *What Would Happen in the Hours and Minutes After the US Bombed Iran?* *Here's how it might go down, according to a trio of experts.* Donald Trump predicted back in 2013 that the US would eventually go to war with Iran. At the time, Trump was merely a rich guy and right-wing gadlfy criticizing Secretary of State John Kerry on FOX News, but later, as a presidential candidate then a president, his rhetoric and policies have been strikingly antagonistic. Trump promised to renegotiate Barack Obama's signature deal with Iran on nuclear weapons during the 2016 c... more »
Are America and Russia Headed for a Tragic Showdown in Syria?
*Dave Majumdar* *Security, * Maybe not. A United States Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet shot down a Syrian Arab Air Force Sukhoi Su-22 Fitter strike aircraft on June 18 over south of the Syrian town of Tabqah. But the downing of the Assad regime’s Su-22 has provoked a strong response from Moscow, which promised to treat any allied aircraft operating west of the Euphrates River as hostile. According to U.S. Central Command, pro-Syrian government forces launched an offensive against the Syrian Democratic Forces-held (SDF) town of Ja'Din, which wounded some number of number of SDF figh... more »
The Lesson of the USS Fitzgerald Tragedy: U.S. Navy Warships Need More Armor?
*Dave Majumdar* *Security, * What would happen if China or Russia hit such a ship with a missile? On June 17, the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS *Fitzgerald* (DDG 62) was involved in a collision with a Philippines-flagged cargo ship named ACX *Crystal* 56 nautical miles off the coast of Japan. The collision severely damaged the multibillion-dollar warship, killing seven members of her crew while injuring several others including her captain, Cmdr. Bryce Benson. Indeed, the ship nearly sank during the incident. “The damage was significant. This was not a small collision. It wa... more »
The Case for Congagement with China
*Zalmay Khalilzad* *Security, Asia* The Trump administration should not simply engage or contain China. It needs to blend the two together. *THE TRUMP* administration’s China policy is currently focused almost exclusively on North Korea. But Beijing’s growing power and expanding regional and global objectives demand that Washington come to grips with a broader China strategy. It is imperative to assess China’s current and planned capabilities, its objectives and strategy. Unlike in its recent history, China is now a rising global power. Its economy is the second largest in the w... more »

Is This the Future of Chinese Submarine Power?
*Lyle J. Goldstein* *Security, China* [image: A Chinese Kilo with the red flag.] There are hints that China might pursue foreign basing for its submarine force.

As Beijing fills the “near seas”—and now the “far seas”—with new frigates, destroyers and aircraft carriers, the orientation and larger strategy guiding its future submarine ... more »

In fact, it is a profound statement that says more than volumes of philosophy. But first, a bit of background. From the dawn of time, people have resisted saying "I don't know." They looked instead for explanations in tribal tradition, sacred books, or the supposed wisdom of shamans, priests and prophets. The most common cover-up for ignorance is to invoke divinity.

"Tell Yourself..."
Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.” - Louise Erdrich

In 2008, Stephen Harper's Cons established that they held the confidence of Parliament through a vote on a throne speech which made no mention of austerity, nor of kneecapping the Cons' competition. After introducing a fiscal update which ran contrary to that basis for claiming confidence, Harper then used the earlier vote as his excuse to shut down Parliament and escape a vote of non-confid... more »
