On being a caregiver
It's been 2 weeks since our son Phil died, and I may write more of my reflections (and advice to others) at my blog when they come to me. Let me first say it is a privilege to be with a loved one when he is dying, although it will be the most difficult thing you'll ever do. Phil was Phil from the beginning to the end, and although that could be very frustrating when we wanted him to go a different direction or not cause self-harm, he was also a testament to God's creative power. From the moment of our conception to the moment of our last breath, we are the same person going throug... more »

Coronavirus: A Doctor Answers 6 Questions About Confusing Findings of the Virus
*William Petri* *Public Health, World* [image: Reuters] Here are the answers. *Editor’s Note: As researchers try to find treatments and create a vaccine for COVID-19, doctors and others on the front lines continue to find perplexing symptoms.

Tanks Could Be Taiwan's Best Hope Of Beating A Chinese Invasion
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Asia* Bit it will take more than that. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *A credible ground force fortified by tanks and air-defense missiles does two clear things: it could very well further deter China by virtue of ensuring a high-casualty ground war and also force China to transit heavy forces across the ocean. That kind of heavy deployment is never easy, and certainly not without major risk of air and sea attack. The Trump administration’s plan to sell tanks, missiles and ground-launched air defenses to Taiwan embodies what might be called a strateg... more »

Study Shows People Want Less Politics and More Science During the Coronavirus Pandemic

Since the UK government introduced late afternoon press conferences in March, these have tended to dominate the news cycle. But our research with news audiences suggests that many people want the wider human impact of the disease brought into sharper focus.

Coronavirus: Why Sovereignty Led to the Failure of Global Governance
*Tom Pegram* *Politics, World* [image: Reuters] A radical transformation is necessary.

Assembled political leaders declared their support for the World Health Organization (WHO), which will receive some of the funds alongside other organisations working on vaccine and treatment development. Conspicuously absent so far from this new alliance, which was driven by the European Commission, was the US. This follows President Donald Trump’s decis... more »

Each country involved failed to deescalate and the result was total war. On June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary and his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, visited the city of Sarajevo and were assassinated by Gavrilo Princip, a 20-year-old Yugoslav nationalist.

As President Trump has complained, the U.S. does not win wars anymore. In fact, since 1945, the only 4 wars it has won were over the small neocolonial outposts of Grenada, Panama, Kuwait and Kosovo. Americans across the political spectrum refer to the wars the U.S. has launched since 2001 as “endless” or "unwinnable" wars. We know by now that there is no elusive victory around the corner that will redeem the criminal futility of the U.S.'s opportunistic decision to use military force more aggressively and illegally after the end of the Cold War and the horrific crimes of September... more »

*Matthew Petti* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] The Maduro government blames U.S. interference for the deadly incident.

Why Trump’s Plan for Middle East Peace Will Fail
*Scott Abramson* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] The path to peace remains blocked by an obstacle that only the most wrenching—and, therefore, the most improbable—concession by one of the two parties to the conflict can remove: Israel’s surrender of its identity as a Jewish state or the Palestinians’ surrender of the right of return. It’s no earth-shattering prediction to forecast that history isn’t likely to remember President Donald Trump’s “Deal of the Century” as the peace plan that ended a conflict—the first major violent outbreak in which will mark its centenary... more »

As of May 5, the number of reported cases has reached almost 130,000, which puts Turkey among the top eight countries grappling with the deadly disease—ahead of even China and Iran. Fortunately, so far, the Turkish death toll, at less than 2.7 ... more »

Don't Believe The Hype: Being Better Than Trump Or Kristi Noem Is Too Low A Bar-- Newsom Is As Bad A Leader As Cuomo Is
