*Security, Americas*
[image: Reuters] Why Washington's current strategy isn't working.
President Trump appears to be getting advice on China policy from World
Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It’s all starting to resemble a
pro-wrestling match where one wrestler gets his opponent in a headlock,
throws him to the ground and has him pinned—for a long two seconds—until he
miraculously escapes. It’s good theater, but it’s tough on the audience.
There may be some method to the madness. Trump has discombobulated the
People’s Republic of China (PRC) and some of his own sup... more »
How to Turn Iraq into a Terrorist Playground
*Christopher Brodsky*
*Security, Middle East*
[image: Reuters] Failure to assure Iraq’s political leadership of America's
reliability as an ally could bring with it disastrous consequences for Iraq
and the broader region.
On January 25, popular Iraqi Shi’a cleric Muqtada al-Sadr submitted a bill
to remove U.S. troops from Iraq. Qais al-Khazali, head of the
Iranian-backed militia Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq, followed-up on January 28 by
threatening that an impending parliamentary vote would oust U.S. forces
from the country. Al-Khazali suggested that Iraqis take military action to

America's New 'Plan' for Afghanistan
*Caroline Caywood*
*Security, Middle East*
[image: Reuters] There is no obvious solution to Kabul’s ongoing power
struggle and Washington’s role in ensuring the country’s stability.
After nearly two decades of war in Afghanistan—the longest conflict in
American history—the United States has finally begun to seriously consider
potential exit strategies. Nevertheless, the White House’s recent
announcement on the partial withdrawal of U.S. troops from the ongoing war
in Afghanistan raises serious questions. At a recent Center for the
National Interest panel discussion, three experts... more »
The End of Great Power Peace
*Hal Brands, Charles Edel*
*Security, Global Governance*
[image: Reuters] There is growing cooperation between the countries that
are challenging the regional pillars of the U.S.-led order.
As recently as 2010, Barack Obama could observe a strategic landscape where
the “major powers are at peace.” Yet if great-power war has not returned,
the era of deep great-power peace is over. Relations between the world’s
strongest states are increasingly defined by undisguised rivalry and even
conflict; there is ever-sharper jostling for power and ever-greater
contestation of global norms an... more »
China and North Korea's Worst Fear: The U.S. Navy Starts Building New 'Battleships'
*Salvatore Babones*
*Security, *
Possible?
*A future battleship could respond to Chinese provocations by disabling
Chinese seabed sensors or cutting Chinese undersea cables. It could survive
being rammed by enemy ships—a favorite tactic of the Chinese and North
Koreans. And if A2/AD did escalate into a shooting war, it could operate in
the danger zone while U.S. offensive actions turned the tables.*

To vaccinate or not—guest blogger Mick
We (the Bruces) lost a son, Patrick Howard, in the 1964 measles
epidemic—2,100 babies died, and 20,000 were born with congenital rubella
syndrome. Mick’s son was born in 1979, his wife had immunity but the
children at the day care did not.
“The vaccination debate seems to have created some friction. I am - as I am
sure is obvious - not at all in favor of the anti-vax view. It is not
hypothetical for me.
In early 1979 my wife and I lived in Copenhagen. Nancy was in the early

Whales and infanticide
There's been an uptick in the births of North Atlantic right whale
calves--7 have been born after zero. It's still not enough to save the
species. Sort of like the birth rate of the USA. Too low to save the
country, but no one seems to worry. We'll just import some fertile women
across the border. In fact, one of our freshman Congress women, a Democrat,
is advising her generation to not have children. The Scientist is blaming

Gay Republican Congressman Suddenly And Inexplicably Let Off With A Slap On The Wrist
Disgraced former congressman Aaron Schock has been successful in dragging

Court declined to get involved, refusing to overrule the lower courts. It
looked like the end of the road for a congressman who was desperate not to
wind up as anyone's bitch in prison. WLS, the ABC affiliate in Chicago,

the case.
