So, if you can't even spell the award... There's absolutely nothing noble about Trump and there's nothing about him that even whispers Nobel Peace Prize, unless they were to hand out prizes for racism, inciting violence and mayhem in our streets, election compromise, incompetence, utter lunacy, or freaki... more »

Making matters worse, given East and Southeast Asia’s large and longstanding heroin market, there is also a high probability that organized crime groups like the infamous Sam Gor syndicate[22] will start pushing synthetic opioids into the... more »

Deforestation is on the Rise Again in Brazil, But That's Not the Amazon's Only Problem

*Tommaso Jucker* *Environment, Brazil* Few people realise even forests that have not been cleared, or fully “deforested”, are rarely untouched.

And all this can happen undetected by the satellites that monitor deforestation. Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has increased abruptly in the past two years, after having been on a downward trajectory for more than a decade. With the country’s pres... more »

"Peace Agreement" is a Misnomer When it Comes to Israel and the UAE

Mohammed Ayoob at The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Mohammed Ayoob* *Security, Middle East* For those familiar with the development of Israel–UAE relations over the past few years, the agreement is more like a coming-out party than a radical departure from the status quo. It may have symbolic importance but doesn’t add much to the substance of relations between the two countries. The agreement between the United Arab Emirates and Israel, although touted as a ‘peace’ deal, is no such thing. For one thing, the UAE and Israel were never at war.
