Injuries reported in London Tube 'explosion' at Parsons Green
Interestingly Sky News are reporting here http://news.sky.com/story/police-investigate-explosion-on-london-tube-11036235 that 'Scotland Yard said it was aware of the incident at Parsons Green station on the District Line, near Fulham, in south west London, and officers were in attendance, including counter-terror forces.'

How Soon Before Trump Is Dragged Out Of The White House In A Straight Jacket?
Yesterday, I linked, very much in passing, to a *Salon* post by Chauncey DeVega because he deals with Trump's mental health-- or at least his lack of mental health. Harvard psychiatrist Lance Dodes is contending that Señor Trumpanzee is a "sociopath" and "a very sick individual." Do you know anyone who would disagree? Clearly Dodes has discarded the "Goldwater Rule." The evidence suggesting that Donald Trump may have serious mental health problems is overwhelming.

There have been different proposals about how the international community can manage the si... more »
Could Trade Torpedo the U.S.-South Korea Alliance?
*Danny Leipziger* *Security, Asia* [image: A crane carries a container from a ship of Hanjin Shipping at Hanjin container terminal at the Busan New Port in Busan] The bilateral-trade deficit between America and South Korea has grown since the treaty came into effect and could cast a long shadow. South Korea is faced with a renegotiation of its Free Trade Agreement with the United States (KORUS FTA) at the worst possible time. Given the actions of North Korea, the Korea-U.S. alliance needs to both steadfast and indivisible. The U.S. administration’s attack on the KORUS FTA on the ... more »
