Monday Morning LinksMiscellaneous material to start your week. - Crawford Kilian draws from Alex de Waal's *New Pandemics, Old Politics* to make the case that plagues and the associated responses are invariably political. Adam Miller writes that there's an opportunity for Canadian governments to build off of low COVID-19 case counts and keep further spread contained, including by planning and investing to make sure schools are safe this fall. But the Globe and Mail's editorial board warns that Canada is falling far short of the vaccination rate necessary to lift public health restrictions safely. And... read more

The Nazis Called This German Vehicle the ‘Bumblebee’*Caleb Larson* *History, Eurasia* It packed a huge fifteen-centimeter main gun atop the chassis and supported German tank maneuvers. Nazi Germany’s myriad armored vehicles are considered to be some of the best designs of World War II, several of which were quite innovative. Along with many tanks, Germany pioneered the use of self-propelled artillery guns. Building on lessons learned from the Geschützwagen, a semi-experimental German self-propelled gun that saw German artillery pieces mated to the hulls of British light tanks, the Hummel design was not only much larger but also p... read more

Will China Be Afghanistan’s Next Victim?*Peter Suciu* *Afghanistan, Eurasia* The Afghanistan government in Kabul is welcoming China while it waves goodbye to the United States. Afghanistan is a nation prone to intense and recurring natural hazards that include floods, earthquakes, snow avalanches, landslides and droughts. The landlocked Central Asia nation is also known for its rugged terrain. Those factors contribute to its reputation as the “Graveyard of Empires.” As the United States has all but completed its withdrawal of military forces from the remote land, thereby ending America’s war, it is clear that little w... read more

To Use Turkey as a Bulwark Against Russia and Iran Is Wishful Thinking*Michael Rubin* *Foreign Policy, Eurasia* Two decades of Erdoğanism has not changed Turkish society is to believe that twenty years of Khomeinism did not change Iran. Both are foolish delusions. For decades, Turkey was a staunch Cold War ally. One of only two NATO members to border the Soviet Union, Turkey went above and beyond in its partnership with the United States: Turkey contributed more men under arms to NATO than Germany and France combined. Turkey subsequently joined the Baghdad Pact and Turks fought alongside the United States in the Korean War. Behind the scenes, Tur... read more

G20 Pushes Ahead On Global Tax DealThe finance chiefs of the G20, representing the world’s largest economies, have signed off on a deal crafted with the aim of preventing multinational companies shifting profits to low-tax havens.

All that money could end up bankrolling a new round of housing profiteering and infrastructure privatization, using workers’ money to wage a war on workers themselves.

Organizers Calling To Close Loophole That Enables Prison SlaveryWhile the 13th Amendment abolished chattel slavery, an often ignored clause still allows for slavery and involuntary servitude as “punishment for a crime.” This “slavery clause” is now the target of #EndTheException, a new campaign launched this year on Juneteenth weekend. #EndTheException is pushing for the passage of the Abolition Amendment, a joint resolution cosponsored by Sen. Jeff Merkley and Rep. Nikema Williams, which would strike the slavery clause from the 13th Amendment making it so that “neither slavery nor involuntary servitude may be imposed as a punishment for a cri... read more
