DownWithTyranny, DownWithTyranny! - 21 hours ago

*by Noah Sunday Thoughts:* Tonight's meme presents a simple synopsis of the argument that Donnie The Death Machine's lawyers are currently making before the "Supreme" Court in yet another effort to deep six Obamacare, and, it's one of the main reasons why Moscow Mitch's fellow psychopaths in the $enate rushed through the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett. They especially didn't want to wait until the pandemic ends. What fun would that be to a bunch of psychopaths that live to spread as much human misery as they possibly can? After all, even Moscow Mitch proudly calls himself ...

The US and Japan Are Digging in their Heels Over the Senkaku Islands

Brian Victoria, The National Interest - 22 hours ago

*Brian Victoria* *Security, Asia* What is notable is the almost complete absence of an accurate historical account of how the Senkaku Islands became Japanese territory. Since the Nixon administration, the United States has taken the position that territorial sovereignty over the Senkaku Islands was to be decided by the parties involved — Japan, China and Taiwan. From 1996 US diplomats have periodically confirmed that the Senkakus are covered under Article 5 of the US–Japan Security Treaty as Japanese-administered territory, but this was deliberately differentiated from a determin...

*Stephen Silver* *Security, Eurasia* Putin and Kim’s hackers are trying to steal the secrets of coronavirus vaccines. Earlier this week came the news that Pfizer has seen success in its quest to develop a coronavirus vaccine, and that that vaccine, which is said to have 90 percent effectiveness, could reach the market by the end of the year, possibly bringing about the end of the coronavirus pandemic.

Why the Supreme Court Won’t Overturn the Pennsylvania Election Results

The Trump campaign has filed two lawsuits in federal court over ballot counting and voting deadlines in Pennsylvania, threatening to take the election to the Supreme Court.

noreply@blogger.com (deBeauxOs), DAMMIT JANET! - 23 hours ago

There's a tweet floating around from some Democrat flunky naming his "Dream Team" players for the POTUS 46 cabinet posts. It includes David Petraeus as Director of National Intelligence and Larry Summers for the Treasury. Right-o. Petraeus with his messy and rather unintelligent choices. Bruce Carson -- Stephen Harper's *influence peddler* aka fixer -- did once observe: And Summers? Not only is he Jeffrey-Epstein-adjacent to put it mildly but Larry is also a slick shill for the fossil fuel industry and for predatory neoliberalism, basically. Seems rather obvious why these two Clin...

Trump Is Leaving Us The Worst Mess In American History-- Has Biden Got What It Takes To Clean It Up?

DownWithTyranny, DownWithTyranny! - 23 hours ago

*Cult of Ignorance-- Closed by Nancy Ohanian* North Dakota should get a medal... or at least a pat on the back. The state has the highest rate of COVID infection per capita-- 82,502 per million Dakotans. I think that means that by the time Trump is thrown out into the gutter in front of the White House, 1 out of 10 North Dakotans will have had or will have COVID. Today they reported 2,270 more cases, bring the state total to 62,872. They also reported 19 more deaths and since there is no more room in any of their hospitals, there is probably a lot of trouble ahead for this extre...

How Much Damage To America Can Biden Do With His Energy Plan?

Three Intelligence Failures from Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict Need Investigating

Michael Rubin, The National Interest - 1 day ago

*Michael Rubin* *Security, Eurasia* The outcome of the Nagorno-Karabakh region sets back U.S. interests considerably. The guns are now silent across Nagorno-Karabakh as Russian peacekeepers take up positions along the ceasefire line. Even at the best of times in Washington, DC, attention spans are short, but in a political season dominated by recounts and a presidential transition, even more so. Congress, however, has broader responsibilities than just to posture for partisan gain. With elections over, the Senate and House intelligence committees should instead focus on investig...

Has the election rendered that final virdict? When CBS, NBC and ABC cut away from President Donald Trump’s news conference at the White House on the evening of Nov. 5, they took pains to explain why they were shutting off the nation’s commander-in-chief.

Oliver Mason, The Rio Times - 18 hours ago

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - Defeated candidate Donald Trump, still firmly planted in the White House, continues making baseless fraud allegations, filing petitions for a recount (which is expected, since many votes were very tight) and ordering federal government bodies not to cooperate in any way with president-elect Joseph Biden.

Biden Will Need the UAE for Leverage with Iran

Nicholas Saidel, The National Interest - 18 hours ago

*Nicholas Saidel* *Security, Middle East* The UAE’s behavior with respect to Iran is a symptom of a broader problem that involves gold smugglers, corruption, legal loopholes, an opaque real estate market, and criminally minded business elites and war profiteers from across the globe. President-elect Joe Biden will scrap President Donald Trump’s failed policy of “maximum pressure” and attempt to re-engage Iran within the context of the JCPOA, i.e. the Iran nuclear deal, from which Trump withdrew in 2018. However, the Biden presidency will continue to enforce the American sanction...

Could Joe Biden Be Inheriting a ‘Dream Scenario for Economic Growth?’

James Pethokoukis, The National Interest - 18 hours ago

*James Pethokoukis* *Economcs, Americas* Presidents and what they do in office matter. Presidents and what they do in office matter. But it sure helps to have an economic tailwind and not a headwind. Sometimes it’s better and more important to be lucky than good. And while Joe Biden will face a tough health-and-economic challenge over the next four years, it’s not like there aren’t potential tailwinds. As economist Tim Duy sees things in a Bloomberg column, “Biden [is] stepping into a dream scenario for economic growth on the other side of the battle with the Covid-19 pandemic.”...

Chinese Nuclear Submarines Could Soon Be Visiting Russian Arctic Ports

Lyle J. Goldstein, The National Interest - 18 hours ago

*Lyle J. Goldstein* *China, Asia* The Russian-Chinese relationship is moving forward. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Neither Moscow nor Beijing have given anything close to an official imprimatur to such eccentric ideas. And yet there is a small possibility that this one vision of the future could reach fruition in coming decades if current trends toward cold war are not reversed. Moscow would have its fully built out Arctic infrastructure (both military and commercial) with ample Chinese capital and engineering assistance. In return, Beijing would gain a reliable way to str...

The U.S. Must Act Now to Curb China’s ‘Wolf Warrior Diplomacy’

James Marks, The National Interest - 18 hours ago

*James Marks* *Security, Asia* Beijing wants to control semiconductor the market and use that leverage for its own national security aims. For over a generation China has been on a long march to assert its dominance on the global stage. As a young foreign affairs officer in Asia and later working in U.S. military intelligence, I came to respect the Chinese’s commitment to achieving their goals. They work hard and make great sacrifices to get ahead, often by any means necessary—not the least of which is commandeering others’ ideas and engineering those to serve their ends. When...

To Explain Trump’s Trade War, China Studied Reagan’s Economic Battle with the Soviets

Lyle J. Goldstein, The National Interest - 18 hours ago

*Lyle J. Goldstein* *Security, Asia* The United States may have already “passed the tipping point marking the advent of China’s economic hegemony.” *Here's What You Need To Remember: *There is no attempt to actually gauge the importance of all the many factors that led to the collapse of the USSR in 1991. However, Fu notes that a CIA report concluded that the impact of Western economic pressure was minimal, and that “the Soviet Union’s economic problems derived mainly from internal sources.” Many Americans are in a tizzy over President Donald Trump’s apparent fondness for tariff...

World War II: Did the Nazis Sabotage a Ship in New York?

Silvia Federici: The exploitation of women and the development of capitalism

barovsky, The New Dark Age - 19 hours ago

Silvia Federici’s Caliban and the Witch is a classic work of anti-capitalist feminism. The book examines capitalism’s investment in sexism and racism, showing how the consolidation of the capitalist system depended on the subjugation of women, the enslavement of black and indigenous people, and the exploitation of the colonies. Federici demonstrates that unpaid labor–especially that of women confined to the domestic sphere and of enslaved workers–is a necessary support for waged labor.

How Turkey Brought Down its Own Air Force

Michael Peck, The National Interest - 20 hours ago

*Michael Peck* *Security, * Fighter pilots aren't cheap. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Numerous senior and field-grade officers were purged. More than 300 F-16 pilots were dismissed. This defanged the Turkish military as a political threat, and strengthened the increasingly authoritarian rule of Erdogan and his neo-Ottoman Justice and Development Party, which has imprisoned many journalists. But it left a gaping question: who would be left to fly Turkey's jet fighters? Fighter pilots aren't cheap. The U.S. Air Force estimates that training a new pilot to fly a plane like t...
