Refugee Resettlement Woes: Why America Should Steer Afghans Toward Foreign Soil
*Steven Camarota * *Afghanistan, United States* U.S. officials should consider alternatives to permanent resettling Afghans in America. The crisis in Afghanistan and the decision to admit tens of thousands of that country’s citizens, with plans to admit more, has raised interest in how the huge influx of immigrants will adapt to life in the United States. Unfortunately, we do not have an entirely clear picture of the Afghans evacuated in recent weeks. Some have worked for the U.S. government, others have a more tenuous connection, while still others seem to have simply pushed th... read more
China’s South China Sea Strategy Is All About Taiwan
*Sorin Adam Matei, Matt Ellis* *South China Sea, Asia* China aims to incorporate Taiwan as a sign of reclaiming its full power in the same way that the Austrian Anschluss announced that Germany is back and with a vengeance. Is the occupation of the South China Sea by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) the equivalent of the German militarization of the Rhineland in 1934? Will there be a Taiwanese *Anschluss* like the annexation of Austria in 1938 which followed the Rhineland operation? Can world peace last if the world gives China a Munich-like deal? These questions are not idle... read more

The United States Marine Corps’ top aviation officer offered an upbeat assessment of the Lockheed Martin F-35B Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) to the House Armed Services Committee during his *testimony on July 6*.

Interests First: How the Quad Can Deter Chinese Aggression Against Taiwan
*Nicholas Hanson* *Taiwan, Asia-Pacific* In place of an existing position on Taiwan, the Quad’s heads of state should consider adopting America’s position of strategic ambiguity. Testifying in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee in early March, outgoing Indo-Pacific Commander Adm. Phil Davidson sounded the alarm regarding China’s immediate objectives in East Asia: “Taiwan is clearly one of their ambitions . . . And I think the threat is manifest during this decade, in fact, in the next six years.” This sobering timeline is driven by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Chairman... read more
Are China and Russia Eroding America's Submarine Advantage?
*Caleb Larson* *Submarines, * The Russian and Chinese fleets are increasingly becoming threats to the United States. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Increasingly capable Chinese and Russian submarine forces underline the importance of a capable naval force to American security — and indicate that the United States’ historical monopoly on naval power, and submarine capabilities more specifically, is eroding. Is the U.S. Navy's undersea advantage starting to erode? The Russian submarine fleet is growing at a steady pace, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and will pose a ... read more
Tactical Takeover: Germany’s Liberals Are Ready to Run the Country
*Rainer Zitelmann* *German Elections, Europe* For the first time in modern German history, there may be a left-wing government and that includes ex-communists. In Germany, the Free Democratic Party (FDP) is traditionally the party that is most closely aligned with the market economy. They call themselves “the liberals,” although it is important to remember that “liberal” has quite a different meaning in Germany than it does in the United States, where the term is often associated with left-wing politics. Make no mistake, the FDP is not left-wing. “Liberal” in Germany means pro-ma... read more
Taiwan's Foreign Minister Calls the Island a ‘Sea Fortress’ Against China
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Taiwan, * Amid China’s continual claims that Taiwan is Chinese territory, Wu said that Taiwan has been dealing with increased cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns.

During the forum organized by the Global Taiwan Institute on Taiwan-U.S. relations and attended by several former senior U.S. officials, Wu went on to add that Taiwan has long played a “significant role” in ensuring ... read more
Why Iran Keeps Delaying the Nuclear Talks
*Mohammad Javad Mousavizadeh* *Iran, Middle East* While Iran thinks that delaying the nuclear talks with the major world powers to revive the JCPOA will give it the upper hand, it remains to be seen how long the West countries wait for Iran to rejoin it at the negotiating table. Back when Americans in June were so confident that another round of Vienna talks to revive Iran’s nuclear deal were imminent, the *New York Times* reported that a top American negotiator left his clothes in storage at a hotel in Vienna. The negotiations have now stalled between two sides, and his clothes... read more
UN: Taliban Conducting Door-to-Door Searches for Translators, Other U.S. Partners
*Trevor Filseth* *Afghanistan, * Taliban has apparently put together “priority lists” of individuals it suspected of working with coalition forces and intended to question or arrest. An August threat assessment published by the United Nations has warned that the Taliban has continued to hunt for Afghans who had worked for U.S. and NATO forces prior to their exit from the country, even after promises that they would be forgiven. The report is confidential and has not been publicly circulated, but Al Jazeera claimed that it described the group’s efforts to find Afghans that had o... read more
Belarus Is Drifting Back to Russia
*John Ruehl* *Belarus, * Despite their sometimes-fractious relationship, Russia aims to slowly increase Belarus’ dependency on it through steady integration, while ensuring its stability. This way, if reunification eventually occurs, it will change little except on paper. Belarusian president Aleksandr Lukashenko and Russian president Vladimir Putin met again last Thursday in Moscow for their sixth round of talks this year. As usual, the visit reignited debate over the potential for a sudden political takeover of Belarus by Russia. But unlike the rapid seizure of Crimea and the ... read more

Everything You Need to Know About the Pact to Share Nuclear-Powered Submarine Tech with Australia
*Sebastien Roblin* *Submarines, * France is furious. On Wednesday, U.S. President Biden and Prime Ministers Johnson and Morrison of the United Kingdom and Australia announced in a joint video conference the creation of a trilateral security pact called AUKUS which most immediately would seek to enable Australia to build and operate its own nuclear-powered (but *not* nuclear weapons-armed) submarines. The announcement spells the end of Australia’s troubled program to procure twelve conventionally-powered *Attack-*class submarines from the French firm Naval Group. However, such a... read more

Activists Condemn Escalation Of The New Cold War On China
Britain's peace movement condemned the government today over the “serious escalation” of the new cold war against China marked by the new “Aukus” pact. Under the agreement, Britain, Australia and the United States will co-operate on the development of a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines for the Australian navy and on a range of other military projects in the Far East. The move follows the US’s enrollment of India, Japan and Australia into a “quad” to contain China, whose economic and technological development is perceived as a threat to Washington’s global supremacy.

The Marriage of Isabella and Ferdinand
Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon were cousins. Under Catholic law, they were not allowed to get married. When they (in consultation with their powerful families and supporters) decided to get married, probably for political reasons because they had not met before their marriage, Isabella was less than eighteen and Ferdinand was sixteen. The Papal representative in Spain, Antonio Veneris, forged a document which made it possible for Ferdinand to marry his cousin. The document which made the marriage legal was signed in January 1469.
