Can Biden and the European Union Resolve Some Long-Standing Disputes?
Stratfor Worldview, The National Interest - 3 minutes ago
*Stratfor Worldview* *Politics, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC2TTK9W60VP&share=true] Brussels is very happy to have Biden in the White House, but that does not mean all problems are automatically resolved. Joe Biden’s presidency portends greater U.S.-EU coordination on areas like climate change, COVID-19 and human rights. But Washington and Brussels will likely still spar over trade, tech policy and defense spending. On the day of Biden’s Jan. 20 inauguration, European Council President Charles Michel called for a “foun...

Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 3 minutes ago
*Stephen Silver* *Technology, Americas* The Dissident points the finger at Crown Prince Mohammad Bin-Salman and the Saudi regime for the 2018 death of the journalist, who disappeared in the Saudi consulate in Turkey. The film also deals with the Saudi regime’s hacking efforts, as well as their attempts to manipulate social media, including trending topics. When a movie is the target of an organized campaign to knock down its Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB user scores, the culprits are usually angry fans of* Star Wars *or various comic book movie franchises, because they’re mad at Rian...
Extending New Start Is a Good Idea but It Won’t Fix American-Russian Relations

*Stratfor Worldview* *Security, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2021%3Anewsml_RC29DL9R7F87&share=true] It will take a lot more to try and tone down the rising confrontation with Moscow. The White House’s push to extend the New START nuclear treaty with Russia will give it space to impose penalties on Moscow’s antagonistic behavior without worrying about the collapse of the two countries’ last remaining major arms control agreement. On Jan. 21, U.S. Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirmed previous media reporting when she formally announced t...

Never allow yourself to become involved in retaliation.
Bob Dinn, balance10 - 2 hours ago
Never allow yourself to become involved in retaliation. This is how man creates negative karma. Each time he arises to defend himself he puts himself, as you say, behind the eight-ball. Self-defense is always a defense of the human ego, for the Christ of every man needs no defense—truth bears witness of itself. In matters of race many have put themselves behind the eight-ball. Evil dwells in all races. And wherever racial differences are given power in this uninhibited age there is a strong possibility that violence and negative karma will accrue to the records of many lif...

The Eternal and the Temporal
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 2 hours ago
Man’s body is temporal but his soul is eternal, and his mind is the bridge between the temporal body and the eternal soul. The coexistence of the temporal and the eternal is the underlying reality of the universe. The manifest universe is temporal, while the unmanifest prime author of the universe is eternal. Man can gain empirical knowledge by studying the temporal, but to meet his spiritual needs, he must speculate about the eternal through philosophy and religion.
