Pelosi broke the law, her punishment is..
Last night, Tuesday February 4, 2020, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi violated U.S.Code 18 section 2071.

The Democratic Party has been trying to remove the President since the day he was sworn into office. Ms. Pelosi, as Speaker of the House, must be held accountable for her petty action.

The Trump Impeachment as a "Precedent"
I recently uploaded an article on SSRN (to be published in *Constitutional Commentary*) that is skeptical of the use of “historical practice” to understand constitutional changes in executive power. This gives me something of a problem in understanding Trump’s impeachment and trial as a “precedent.” Indeed, the Trump impeachment shows that our understanding of how precedent and practice works in the “Constitution outside the courts” is heavily dependent on the construction of historical memory. And there’s been all sorts of misremembering going on in the Trump impeachment. You m... more »

Dispatches from Wuhan
Sun Tzu in *The Art of War*, talked about different sorts of agents that a general might have, which are employed in the enemy's camp to send information back. He identified five classes, or types of spies. (1) Native - Local spies; (2) Internal - inward spies; (3) Double - converted spies; (4) Expendable - doomed spies; (5) Living - surviving spies. Most spies don't survive. It's part of running agents in the field. I spent much of my adult life doing just that. It's not a great job, and *the satisfaction level* that is derived by seeing the agents that you've developed, cultivated... more »
Cuba: The grim reality of life in a communist country
From American Thinker by Andrea Widburg: Thanks to Obama’s reopening official relationships with Cuba, as well as the fondness that Hollywood and the media have for that Caribbean island, young Americans grow up thinking that Cuba is cool and that communism can’t be that bad. Four young men who traveled there, though, discovered the ugly truth: communist countries are every bit as bad as traditional Americans have been saying for the last 100 plus years. One of the most shocking things about the 2020 election is how many people support a man who has had a lifelong love affair with …... more »

Could Russia's Vaunted T-95 Tank Outclass Its T-14 Armata?
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2013%3Anewsml_GM1E99R00N001&share=true] Let's see how they compare. *Key point:* Moscow has always produced excellent tanks. But how do two of its best units stack up if they ever went head-to-head? The history of Russian and Soviet armor is littered with prototypes of “super tanks” that promised armor and lethality far beyond any of their contemporaries. But at the end of the Cold War, the Soviet Union developed an actual prototype “super-tank” that if fielded would have outclasse... more »
I Tried to Get Comcast Xfinity’s New Wi-Fi 6 Router (And Totally Failed)
*Harry J. Kazianis* *Technology, * No wonder hundreds of thousands of people dump Comcast every quarter--and no, not just because of Netflix. Last month, Comcast released a statement declaring that it would be launching a new wireless router—officially named the xFi Advanced Gateway—with a set of new features that looked quite appealing. The big advantage, which I would suspect many tech geeks would jump at the chance to get, was the new Wi-Fi 6 capability. As someone who has Xfinity now with a gigabit-rated connection, having the best router Comcast offers would be great, and ... more »
The Kurdish Tragedy: What America Can Learn From Its Foreign Policy Fumbles in Iraq
*Ryan Gardiner* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] As bitter of a pill it is to swallow in watching a good and reliable partner fall under the thumb of hostile actors, policymakers and foreign policy experts can avoid future calamities by developing realistic and deliberative long-term strategies that support America’s diplomats and armed forces serving as the instruments of that policy. Although the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) proved a vital partner in fighting the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, and its territory has served as a rare oasis of stability i... more »
The Rocket’s Red Glare: Trump Must Withdraw from Middle East Before Its Too Late
*Daniel L. Davis* *Security, * Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col: What we very much need to do is acknowledge the futility of our failed policies in the region over the past two decades, recognize that military power is never going to produce a positive outcome for our country, and withdraw our troops from both Syria and Iraq. Late last month a barrage of rockets slammed into the dining facility at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, thankfully injuring only one. Since there are no United States security interests at stake in Iraq or Syria, it would be irresponsible in the extreme to keep our t... more »
Examining Iran's Role in the New Middle East
*Andrew Gilmour, Tom Palaima* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Sub-state actors that operate violently across borders, an information and communications technology revolution, and an increasingly fragmented ideological landscape make up the new Middle East. Like two hostile prisoners on the run and shackled to each other by fate, Iran and the United States continue their mutual loathing and periodic conflict. The inevitability of talking and even cooperating, however, also looms over both in a region neither can shape unilaterally. Washington and Tehran’s shared distaste ... more »

Inspect Uighur Internment Camps Amid Coronavirus Outbreak
*Michael Rubin* *Health, Asia* [image: Reuters] China’s Uighur camps are vulnerable to the country's latest deadly disease. There must be international demands to inspect the camps and perhaps sanctions levied against Chinese authorities and businesses if China does not comply with the inspections. Millions of Chinese continue to live under strict quarantine in Wuhan and nearby cities after Chinese authorities in Beijing finally acknowledged the existence of the coronavirus. China’s public health measures were, as usual, too little and too late and prevented early interventions t... more »

Why America Must Counter China’s Disinformation Campaign on Their Treatment of Uighurs
*Hyunmu Lee* *Security, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_RC28ZD9CJB6L&share=true] It is very important. A 403-page report by New York Times detailing China’s pressure campaign on Muslim ethnic minorities in the province of Xinjiang means that concrete evidence is leaking countary to Beijing’s attempts at disinformation. The United States should focus on not only refuting China’s denials of re-education camps for alleged “terrorist” Uighurs, but also make an official statement about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) disinform... more »

The College of New Rochelle closed in 2019, more than a century after its founding as New York’s first Catholic women’s college. The announcement left students scrambling to figure out what to do. The college’s land and buildings were sold for US$32 million, most of which paid off debts.

Reasons for this include declining enrollment, budget shortfalls and growing competition. What’s more... more »
Not So Friendly Skies: Flight Shame Can't Push People Into Giving Up Flying
*Roger Tyers* *Security, Americas* Flygskam, or “flight shame,” has done little to counteract the effects of air travel. Despite flying being the single fastest way to grow our individual carbon footprint, people still want to fly. Passenger numbers even grew by 3.3% globally last year alone. The hype around “Flygskam” – a global movement championed by climate activist Greta Thunberg that encourages people to stop travelling by plane – seems to have attracted more media attention than actual followers. A 2019 survey found that although people in the UK were increasingly concern... more »

Although now out-of-date, the Nighthawk was able to evade enemy air defenses and cause a lot of damage. The F-117 Nighthawk, America’s original stealth plane with a deeply sinister appearance, is an example of a weapon system designed around the limitations imposed by a promising new technology.

How Legit Is China's Robot "Marine Lizard" Amphibious Assault Tank?

So far, China's claims sound just too grandiose. China has unveiled what it claims is the world’s first armed robot amphibious vehicle. The Marine Lizard sounds essentially like a robotic, amphibious tank that can lead amphibious invasions and provide fire support for the assault troops. But is this a robot... more »
