Ukraine’s Recent Drone Strike Reignites Tensions in Donbass*Mark Episkopos* *Ukraine, Eurasia* Russia says the use of Turkish drones near the Line of Contact is a violation of the Minsk Agreement, but Ukraine begs to differ.

Kiev is moving forward with plans to procure dozens of Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs). The acquisition is part of a larger defense cooperation venture with Ankara involving the production of Bayr... read more

Japan's Ruling Coalition Expected To Win Parliamentary Elections But Will Lose Seats*Reuters:* *Kishida hangs on to majority in Japanese election although weakened * TOKYO (Reuters) -Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's ruling Liberal Democratic Party was forecast to hold on to its majority in Sunday's parliamentary election although it suffered losses that could curb his drive to ease wealth inequality, according to exit polls.

Biden Wants to Stay in Syria—But Withdrawal Is Overdue*Michael Hall* *Syria, Middle East* The sober reality is that keeping even a token deployment of U.S. troops in Syria endangers American lives, doing more to risk dragging the United States into conflicts prudent leaders should seek to avoid. When the United States withdrew from Afghanistan, the moment was hailed—and alternately, decried—as a turning point which would usher in a series of U.S. military withdrawals as Washington reorients its grand strategy. Certainly, President Joe Biden’s rhetoric about ending an era of “relentless war” invited this interpretation. But two month... read more

State Capitalism Did Not Build China’s Economic Miracle*Rainer Zitelmann* *China, Asia* Advocates of a strong state in Europe and the United States want the public to believe China’s economic success confirms that economic growth is inextricably linked with a strong state. Weiying Zhang’s analysis proves that the opposite is true As recently as 1981, 88 percent of the Chinese population was living in extreme poverty. Today it is less than one percent.

There’s a popular line, repeated throughout the environmental world, that goes something like this: Climate change affects all of us.

Carbon Capture Is a Climate Change Game Changer*Amitai Etzioni* *Climate Change, United States* Carbon capture has a much more attractive psycho-political profile than other climate-improving measures. It does not require individuals and industries to change. Even better, it could yield significant, visible benefits within a relatively short period of time. In the 1920s, the world population was growing at a rapid rate; however, food production lagged badly behind because it relied on animal and human waste for fertilization. Since waste could not be significantly increased, experts predicted worldwide famine. Fritz Haber is ... read more

Running On EmptyIn September, inflation hit 4.4%. The Conservatives are blaming Justin Trudeau. They say it's the 1970's all over again. But Paul Krugman sees things through a much wider lens: It’s been a troubled few months on the economic front. Inflation has soared to a 28-year high. Supermarket shelves are bare, and gas stations closed. Good luck if you’re having problems with your home heating system: Replacing your boiler, which normally takes 48 hours, now takes two or three months. President Biden really is messing up, isn’t he?
