Destroying Korea: The Effects of a China-Japan War

*Kyle Mizokami* *China, Japan, * A Sino-Japanese conflict could easily embroil both South and North Korea into the fold. *Here's What You Need to Know*: It can be fanciful, and even entertaining to think about war scenarios. This article is undoubtedly part both. China and Japan have gone to war three times since 1894. At the end of the Second World War, with Japan in ruins and under Allied control, it seemed unlikely the two countries would ever fight again. War between the two countries seemed even more unlikely after the adoption of Japan’s pacifist constitution, which disa... read more

The Sad Tale of the Imperial Japanese Navy’s Sinking Shinano

*Michael Peck* *History, Asia* At 69,000 tons when launched in 1944, the Shinano would have remained the world’s largest aircraft until the 1960s. But that was not to be. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *If weight alone could determine victory, then the Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carrier *Shinano* might still be afloat. At 69,000 tons when launched in 1944, the *Shinano* would have remained the world's largest aircraft until the 1960s. But that was not to be.

How the 2003 Iraq War Changed America (and the World) Forever

*Robert Farley* *Iraq War, Middle East* The invasion left America and the Middle East with steep costs that endure to this day. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Hindsight is 20/20, but Washington should have known that the invasion was a mistake. Every player of the popular video game Civilization knows to hit the save button before engaging in the risky, stupid invasion of foreign country. In the case of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, it became apparent after the first few months that the war was not working out as its framers had envisioned.

The Problem with Half-Measures on the Filibuster

What to do about the Senate filibuster is a much more difficult problem than progressives commonly assume. As frustrated as I am with the ways it obstructs numerous parts of the progressive agenda, I doubt most proponents of abolishing the filibuster realize how much it benefits progressive causes. Without the filibuster, the next time Republicans have unified control of the federal government, we could see the complete defunding of crucial agencies and the repeal or gutting of crucial civil rights, environmental, consumer protection, and financial regulatory statutes. ... read more
