Harry Truman Nuked World War II Japan To Save 500,000 Lives
*Tom Nichols* *Security, Asia* Was it necessary? *Key point: *For years after World War II, the Soviets charged that the nuclear attacks on Japan were a warning to the USSR. Every summer, as the anniversaries of the U.S. nuclear strikes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki approach, Americans engage in the painful moral exercise of wondering whether President Harry Truman should have ordered the use of nuclear weapons (or as they were called at the time, the “special bombs”) against Japan in August 1945. And every year, as we get farther away in time from those horrible events, we wonder ... more »
From Hoax to Reality: How Even the Vice President's State Is Starting to Believe in Climate Change
*Matthew Houser* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] Here's what Hoosiers had to say. Indiana certainly doesn’t look like a state that’s ready to confront climate change. Its former governor, Vice President Mike Pence, has questioned whether human actions affect the climate. In 2016 the majority of Indiana residents voted for Donald Trump, who rejects mainstream climate science. And the state ranks first in the proportion of its population that identifies as conservative – a position that generally means resisting calls to address climate change. Given these realities, it wou... more »

Saudi Arabia’s Oil Price War Could Very Easily Backfire
Russia’s rejection of its OPEC+ partners’ request to further reduce oil production in response to slumping demand prompted Saudi Arabia to unwisely initiate an oil price war over the weekend as revenge, one which the Gulf country is ill-equipped to wage and which could prospectively catalyze a global economic crisis.

What Meat Eaters Have to Say About Veganism (You May Be Surprised!)
*Chris Bryant* *Environment, World* Here's what the research says. Most people in the UK are committed meat eaters – but for how long? My new research into the views of meat eaters found that most respondents viewed veganism as ethical in principle and good for the environment. It seems that practical matters of taste, price, and convenience are the main barriers preventing more people from adopting veganism – not disagreement with the fundamental idea. This could have major implications for the future of the food industry as meat alternatives become tastier, cheaper and more w... more »
We Know Why America's Delivery of THAAD To South Korea Really Sent China Into An Uproar
*Grant Newsham* *Security, Asia* It's not about the missiles themselves. *Key point: *China wants to shake America's Asian alliances. Chinese opposition to South Korea’s deployment of the THAAD missile defense system is less about missiles than about an ongoing effort to weaken—and ideally demolish—the United States’ network of formal and informal alliances in Asia that has underpinned the regional order for the last seventy years. The THAAD controversy that heated up in 2016 once deployment became likely displays a familiar Chinese modus operandi: First, pick a fight over an a... more »

Anti-Science Republicans Playing Dangerous Games With Coronavirus Outbreak
Last Wednesday, the House passed H.R. 6074, the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, by a lopsided bipartisan vote-- 415-2. Two far right sociopaths, Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and Ken Buck (R-CO), voted against it, whining about the high cost. Several other Republicans were also whining about the cost but in the end they feared their constituents and voted for the $8.3 billion package. Crackpot Matt Gaetz, who is now in quarantine and also opposed the bill but voted for it in the end, caused a kerfuffle when he showed up to vote and make light of the pand... more »
