President Nixon's Visit To China Was Inevitable*Robert Farley* *U.S.-China Relations, Asia* Domestic politics in either China or the United States could have scotched the deal, at least for a time. *Here's What You Need to Remember*: All told, U.S.-Chinese rapprochement was not inevitable, but strong forces on both sides benefitted from it.

Cornish apple orchard by Adrian Paul Allinson (British, 1890-1959) "Supreme Court Allows Extreme Texas Abortion Ban To Go Into Effect: *S.B. 8 offers private citizens a $10,000 bounty if they successfully sue anyone 'aiding or abetting' abortion-seeking patients in Texas* The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed a restrictive Texas law to go into effect that criminalizes abortion at six weeks and deputizes citizens to enforce the ban. S.B. 8 effectively bans abortion at six weeks, a time at which many people don't yet realize they're pregnant. The bill is more extreme than laws ... read more

The Navy is Calling this Crazy Contraption Revolutionary*Sebastien Roblin* *CMV-22B, Americas* Only time will tell whether the pricy CMV-22B brings about the revolution in logistics the Navy is hoping for. *Key point: *The Osprey does have few additional advantages over the C-2 for carrier operations. For example, it won't require catapult-assisted takeoff, lowering the number of necessary support personnel, and it has night-vision equipment for night landings. Furthermore, the CMV-22B's in-flight refueling capability could allow even longer-range flights than were possible with the C-2. For over fifty years, the Navy has operated C-... read more

Is Lukashenka Signing Away Belarus's Sovereignty?*Lillian Posner* *Belarus, * Lukashenka has vehemently attempted to refute arguments that the formalization of these roadmaps will tie Belarus’s hands. However, the timing of the meeting, which will occur one day before the Zapad 2021 military exercises in which12,800 troops, 2,500 Russian, will be active on Belarussian territory, gives the impression of a concession extracted at gunpoint. Last week, Russia showcased its latest innovations in military technology at the International Army Games in Moscow to a global audience. In addition to presenting new armed vehicles, weapons... read more

Two Kinds of Capitalist Realism
In *Capitalist Realism*, Mark Fisher talks about how capitalism constitutes the horizon of the possible. Picking up and popularising Fredric Jameson's 'it's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism', he describes a habit of mind, a sensibility, that is entirely defined by the demands and rationalities of the system. This isn't the same as saying there is no alternative politics or imaginaries or that people can't resist capitalism, but rather this is an imaginary, and the dominant one at that, unable to conceive of differing imaginaries. Its sense of the rea... read more

Proof That GMOs Should Be Banned? Years-in-the-Making Database Shows Scientific Studies of Monsanto’s Creations for the Very First TimeThe genetically modified food experiment carried out on the unsuspecting public by Monsanto has only been taking place for about 25 years, and began with the first-ever failed GMO food, tomatoes, back in 1994. The so-called “FlavrSavr” GMO tomato was roundly rejected by consumers, restaurant chains, and supermarkets alike, leading to the abandonment of the lab-created fruit. But what seemed like a major blow to the hopes of the GMO industry quickly became a mere footnote in history, as Monsanto and other companies managed to gain government approval for their suite of GMO crops (cor... read more
