The problem with Russia
Jacob Fraden: Russia's bloody and senseless war against Ukraine has been going on for almost six months. Instead of the original goal of quickly seizing Ukraine and turning it into a puppet state or a province (the name "Ukraine" is derived from the Russian word for “outskirts"), Russia has suddenly encountered an impenetrable wall of resistance. Two questions logically arise: 1) why did Russia attack Ukraine? and 2) how and when will the war end? Today's Russia is the heir to two political formations: feudal and then capitalist tsarist Russia, which died in 1917, and the commun... read more

The warrant scam to get Trump documents
Victoria Taft: Legal Twitter has weighed in on the warrant that triggered Monday’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago manse. The warrant was leaked to the media late Friday afternoon. The documents, which appear to be the warrant and the list of items taken from Trump’s home when FBI agents knew he wouldn’t be home, seem to confirm the worst fears of attorneys who thought the raid was a fishing expedition to find something on Trump. Indeed, the warrant is so overly broad, even to lefty attorneys, that it looks desperate. The warrant demands that agents remove bin... read more

Iran at the crossroads of history

The usage ‘rapprochement’ is deliberate — and will be disputed — because in the near term at least, what can be expected if an agreement is indeed reached in Vienna, which is an open question, can only be a state of cordial relations between the two countries, no longer hostile but not yet friendly either. read more

Thoughts on the Mar-a-Lago Search
Donald Trump signs an executive order on June 4, 2020. (White House) I have long worried (here, and, more recently, here) about the adverse consequences of the Biden Justice Department using criminal process against former President Donald Trump. I have also long worried (spurred by Garrett Graff) about the mischief, and potential criminal liability, that Trump might stir up after his presidency with access to classified information. Here are some thoughts spurred by the collision of these worries. Several sensible commentators—including George Will, Damon Linker, and David Brook... read more

Why monkeypox is a repeat of the data mistakes made with Covid-19
A nurse documents a surgical patient’s information on a computer. | Getty Images Accurate data is critical for public health, and the US doesn’t have it. The US declared monkeypox a public health emergency this month, but the decision may have come too late. Though states are now required to report cases, and commercial labs have an approved test, a testing bottleneck persists, and cases — which passed 10,000 confirmed cases this week — are likely still being underreported. Any effective public health response to an infectious disease is dependent on having accurate data. If the v... read more
