World´s largest sovereign wealth fund cuts investments in Brazil
Dorah Feliciano, The Rio Times - 6 hours ago
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - Investments by Norway's sovereign wealth fund, the world's largest, have plummeted by several billion dollars in Brazil in the first half of the year, which coincided with market turbulence and growing pressure from foreign funds to protect the Amazon. The US$1.15 trillion Norwegian fund, whose motions can influence other funds, […] The post World´s largest sovereign wealth fund cuts investments in Brazil appeared first on The Rio Times.

Keir Starmer Means Business
Phil, All That Is Solid ... - 6 hours ago
Just look at the headline. * Look at the bloody state of the headline.* Yesterday at Prime Minister's Questions, Keir Starmer made plain his opposition to tax rises ahead of next week's budget. "Now is not the time for tax rises on families and businesses", he confidently asserted. He's right to a degree, working people are already paying the price for our Downing Street depression. But businesses? This raises the curious prospect of Dear Keir voting with rightwing rebels on the Tory benches against the coming budget and the Labour left ... supporting the government increasing the ...

LaRouche on MLK & Real Leadership
Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr., LaRouchePAC.com - All Posts - 7 hours ago
In a world where the political process seems utterly broken, many people are asking, who will lead this country? Where are our leaders? Remember, oftentimes, history has been changed not by elected or ordained officials, but individuals just like you and me, who were determined to represent the unrepresented—the forgotten men and women. And many times, those people changed the world forever. Here, Lyndon LaRouche addresses a Martin Luther King, Jr. Prayer Breakfast in 2004, and uses the example of Dr. King's life and commitment to show each of us what effective leadership really is...

*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Public Health, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2021%3Anewsml_RC2UXL9UNIZ2&share=true] This new strain appears to be even better at avoiding the body’s immune response. Scientists have spotted yet another potentially worrisome new coronavirus variant that seems to be spreading rapidly in New York City and elsewhere in the Northeast. Named B.1.526, this particular strain carries mutations that help it evade the body’s natural immune response, as well as the effects of monoclonal antibody treatments, according to resea...

In its forthcoming issue, the *National Interest* features a cover story with dueling perspectives from John E. Herbst and Dimitri K. Simes about future American relations with Russia.

Melinda Haring, deputy director of the Eurasia Center at the Atlantic Council, introduces the debate, and Jacob Heilbrunn, editor of the magazine, mo...
As Deterrence Fails, the U.S. Needs to Pull Out of Iraq
Geoff LaMear, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Geoff LaMear* *Security, Middle East* Rather than juggle between confrontation and appeasement, the United States can reject this dichotomy altogether and simply leave militarily. Rockets struck the U.S. embassy in Baghdad on Monday, following two attacks targeting American military bases this past week. With many analysts attributing the spate of attacks to Iran, there is pressure on the Biden administration to pursue a hardline response against Iran. But U.S. security doesn’t depend on Iran’s culpability in the attack. Rather than choosing who to fight, President Joe Biden cou...
Hot Take: Nuclear Weapons Are Totally Overrated
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, * Nuclear weapons are over-hyped and over-talked about. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Nuclear weapons have, in an important sense, dominated international diplomacy for the last six decades. What they haven’t dominated is warfare, where they appear to be nearly useless in all configurations. “Overrated” is a challenging concept. In sports, a player can be “great” and “overrated” at the same time. Future Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Derek Jeter, for example, is quite clearly a “great” player, well deserving of the first ballot invitation ...
With These 5 Weapons, China Could Conquer Taiwan
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, * It's probably time for Taiwan to start considering a change in strategy away from relying on technological superiority. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* In the past, Taiwan could leverage technological superiority to enhance its primary defense over China. Today, that is less of an option. Over the past decade, virtually every aspect of China’s military arsenal has grown more lethal. This improvement has necessarily affected the military balance with Taiwan. With tensions between China and the United States growing, Taiwan’s position has become ev...

China Is Using ‘Vaccine Diplomacy’ to Gain Influence in the Middle East
Bassem Aly Youssef, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Bassem Aly Youssef* *Coronavirus, Middle East* China is managing to turn the Covid-19 crisis from a public relations disaster into an opportunity to arise as an international benefactor. The Covid-19 pandemic has fostered a global state of distress which compelled Middle Eastern countries to grapple with a much more uncertain and deteriorating socio-economic environment. The public health situation remains critical in the region, although most governments do not publicly provide comprehensive and viable epidemiological data. In that respect, Middle Eastern countries have tried t...
Bill Clinton Ignored Genocide in Rwanda. Will Joe Biden Ignore it in China?
Fred Fleitz, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Fred Fleitz* *China, Asia* It’s not too late for President Biden to live up to his responsibility as the leader of the free world to make it clear to Beijing that there will be no business as usual with the United States until the Uighur genocide ends. The Clinton administration chose not to call the mass murder of up to 800,000 ethnic Tutsis in Rwanda “genocide” because it felt the designation would legally require the United States to take action. And because it feared the political inconvenience. President Joe Biden is now facing a similar political conundrum with the Chines...
How Russia's MiG-29 Fulcrum Became Feared by NATO
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Russia, * Despite impressive ability, the jet fighter holds a painful track record. *Key Point*: MiG-29s are being actively used in combat in Ukraine The MiG-29 Fulcrum was the first Russian fourth-generation jet fighter, marked by its sleek and deadly appearance in contrast to earlier Soviet fighters. The fast and agile Fulcrum could outturn any NATO fighter, and it was armed with cutting-edge missiles. But, alas, it was held back by its old-fashioned electronics, short service life, and limited range. In a sense, the MiG-29 combined fourth-generation enginee...

Why Does Russia Not Have Its Own Fleet of Aircraft Carriers?
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *History, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2016%3Anewsml_D1BEUHUVRDAA&share=true] The Soviet Union did try, but it did not have the same economic and industrial output as America. *Key point: *The Soviet navy just could not compete and modern-day Russia remains largely a landpower. Indeed, even now Moscow does not have the capacity to build many more carriers even if it wanted to. Historically a land power, the Soviet Union grappled with the idea of a large naval aviation arm for most of its history, eventually settling on...

The Democratic Battle Over a $15 Minimum Wage
Rachel Bucchino, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Rachel Bucchino* *Politics, Americas* Progressive Democrats stress that a wage jump would help scrape Americans out of poverty, especially after the public health and economic crises. Democrats are facing a string of intra-party divisions—despite holding a government trifecta in Washington—over raising the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour, a progressive priority that may be included in the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill. Disagreements among congressional Democrats are broiling, as the Senate parliamentarian, the official adviser on procedural issues, is slated to tak...
Netflix Seen Ramping Up Production, Spending in South Korea
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *Netflix Korea, Asia* Overall, worldwide, Netflix spent about $17 billion on content in 2020. A report in early January had Netflix making a big investment in South Korea, with an eye towards producing more movies in that country. That Deadline report said Netflix had spent $700 million on production in South Korea in the last five years and had recently leased space at a pair of production facilities on the outskirts of Seoul. The company’s investment appeared to bear fruit this month with the launch of *Space Sweepers*, the Netflix movie that was marketed as t...

Europe is forging ahead with not one, but two sixth-generation fighter projects. First, Britain’s BAE Systems Tempest fighter is expected to reach initial operating capability (IOC) in 2035. Meanwhile, the German-French-Spanish Future Combat Air System (FCAS) is slated to enter service by 2040. Europe’s next-generation fighter amb...

What If the U.S. Navy Had Turned Down the F-14 Tomcat?
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, * Could the Navy have filled the gap? *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Tomcat faced a number of problems in its early years. What if the F-14 Tomcat had never happened? The iconic fighter served the U.S. Navy for more than thirty years before finally (and some say prematurely) being retired in 2006. Over time, the F-14 shifted from its initial long-range fleet air-defense role to a ground-attack mission. But what if the problems that plagued the program in the 1960s and 1970s had proved insoluble? How would the Navy have filled the gap? *The Proble...
Ammo Shortage: The Five Hardest To Find Common Calibers

As firearm sales continue to set new records, and show little to no sign of slowing down anytime soon, ammunition is likely going to remain expensive and likely difficult to find.

Brick and mortar and online retailers alike continue ...
For Israel, the Iran Threat Extends Far Beyond Nuclear Weapons
Seth J. Frantzman, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Seth J. Frantzman* *Israel, Middle East* Israel’s list of concerns is long, but it also views many of them as interconnected. Israel has faced Iran’s threats to develop a nuclear weapon for more than a decade. Now Tehran is once again indicating it may enrich uranium upwards of sixty percent and is moving to install advanced centrifuges at Natanz and Fordow, key nuclear facilities. While Iran’s posturing may be designed initially as leverage to get the United States to enter a new nuclear deal, as Washington once signed in 2015, the larger context is how Israeli strategy sees t...
