Joe Boueiz, Olivia Giles at The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Joe Boueiz, Olivia Giles* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] America can work to stymie Sudanese military support for the war effort in Yemen by helping to improve economic conditions in Sudan. Sudanese protestors succeeded in ousting long-term president Omar al-Bashir in a military coup in early April. Both protestors and international observers saw this feat as a major victory following months of public demonstrations over rising food and fuel prices. However, months later, at a June 3 sit-in demonstration, the military opened fire on civilian protesters, killing more th... more »

Does America Face a Threat from Within?

Daniel Byman at The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Daniel Byman* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] In both the United States and Europe, violence on the Right intersects with traditional politics and exacerbates political divides, giving it far more influence than it had in the past. WHEN BRENTON Tarrant gunned down fifty-one worshippers at the Al Noor Mosque and Linwood Islamic Centre in Christchurch, New Zealand, in March, he set off yet another alarm about the danger of terrorism on the right. A copycat attack followed in April, when a man with an AR-15 attacked the Chabad of Poway synagogue in California, murdering one w... more »

The Myth of Indian Strategic Restraint

Sumit Ganguly at The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Sumit Ganguly* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Indian security policy is guided more by pragmatism than by moralism. INDIA HAS emerged as a central partner in U.S. efforts to balance rising Chinese power. To this end, the United States has invested heavily in India, brokering an agreement to afford it access to nuclear materials and technology; enabling Indian acquisition of cutting-edge military and dual-use systems; and declaring India to be a “major defense partner” and “lynchpin” of its strategy in Asia. These efforts to build capacity in India leave an essential question... more »

Iran Has Become Trump’s Foreign Policy Nightmare

Seth J. Frantzman at The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Seth J. Frantzman* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] The United States is weighing calls to confront Iran against the uphill struggle of convincing its allies that the juice is worth the squeeze. Iran’s military warned it could stop oil shipping through the Straits of Hormuz on Monday, the same day it also warned that it would increase its stockpile of enriched uranium beyond the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran deal, limits.

A pilot lost over Serbia or Syria has major diplomatic repercussions, which is why drones are becoming the aircraft of choice.

How Do We Persuade People About Casual Racism and Sexism?

Frank Wu at Diverse - 8 hours ago
As a teacher of advocacy, I wonder what is the most effective means of persuading people they should not engage in offensive speech and objectionable expression. I mean that sincerely, not rhetorically: what will prompt people to choose not to use racial slurs or sexist images, not because they felt coerced but from a change of heart? For me, the issue is not whether they possess the right to utter the word or display the picture — for I would not hesitate to support them against censorship. The issue is whether it is right to do so.
