*Kris Osborn* *Security, Asia* And it could start a war. The recent US B-52 flyby over contested areas of the South China Sea, in response to the recent Chinese landing of a bomber aircraft in the area, is again shining a spotlight upon the underlying roots of the territorial disputes, tensions and provocations in the South China Sea. While lingering beneath the radar and overshadowed by other pressing international crisis, South China Sea confrontations – and the history which causes them – have not gone away but rather intensified.

Venezuela's Collapse Was Decades In The Making
*Mary Anastasia O’Grady, Wall Street Journal:* *Venezuela’s Long Road to Ruin* Few countries have provided such a perfect example of socialist policies in practice. Word from Caracas is that locals have taken to scouring city streets for plastic garbage bags full of rubbish and, when they find them, emptying the contents so that they can resell the bags. This sounds absurd, but it is believable in a country where extreme poverty has spread like the plague. Human capital is fleeing. Oil production is plummeting, and the state-owned oil company is in default. The garbage bag, impo... more »
Trump/Kim Meeting Shows Value of Policy Over Politics
[image: undefined] When President Reagan met with Mikhail Gorbachev in Reykjavik, Iceland, on October 11, 1987, it helped put into motion events that would dramatically change the global system. A line of communication was fully opened with an enemy of decades and substantive issues were on the table. Though the summit was initially reported as a failure, with the two sides unable to sign a final agreement, history now shows us that it was actually a great success that paved the way to the eventual end of the Cold War and a reduction in the threat of a nuclear war. A year later Gor... more »
A Meeting Of Morons
Tonda McCharles has a must read article in today's *Toronto Star*. It details what went on behind the scenes at this weekend's G7 summit. That picture leaked by Angela Merkel's office seems to be a pretty accurate depiction of what happened. And what happened, Paul Krugman writes, was a "debacle:" There has never been a disaster like the G7 meeting that just took place. It could herald the beginning of a trade war, maybe even the collapse of the Western alliance. At the very least it will damage America’s reputation as a reliable ally for decades to come; even if Trump eventually... more »

In trying to explain President Trump's weekend temper tantrum, White House adviser Larry Kudlow fell back on a core element of Trump's worldview: "POTUS is not going to let a Canadian prime minister push him around," Kudlow told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union." "He is not going to permit any show of weakness on the trip to negotiate with North Korea, nor should he." "Weak" is one of Trump's go-to insults.
