Remembering the sacred rocky coast of Gangjeong village
February 26th marked the 10th remembrance year since the Gureombi Rock was blasted to make way for docks to port US navy warships in Gangjeong village on Jeju Island in South Korea. At that time the Global Network held its annual space organizing conference in the village at the invitation of local leaders. During the conference we jumped into kayaks and paddled out to Gureombi and participated in a service led by the infamous Catholic priest and activist Father Moon.

Is Russian President Putin Using The Specter Of Nuclear War To Fracture Growing Western Support For Ukraine And To Force Concessions?
© Alexei Nikolsky/Russian Presidential Press and Information Office/TASS *AP*: *Reading Putin: Unbalanced or cagily preying on West’s fears?* WASHINGTON (AP) — For two decades, Vladimir Putin has struck rivals as reckless, impulsive. But his behavior in ordering an invasion of Ukraine — and now putting Russia’s nuclear forces on high alert — has some in the West questioning whether the Russian president has become dangerously unstable.

Five Lessons Learned From Sanctions on Iran for the Ukraine Crisis
*Saeed Ghasseminejad, Behnam Ben Taleblu* *Russia Sanctions, Europe* The goal of sanctions should be to impose costs on the Russian economy that either make Putin’s tactical and strategic objectives too costly to achieve, change Russia’s overall cost/benefit calculation, weaken its economy, or deter further aggression. In the past three months, the Biden administration tried and failed to leverage the threat of sanctions to prevent a Russian invasion of the Donbas region of Ukraine. Following a recent order by Russian president Vladimir Putin, Russian forces attacked eastern Ukra... read more
Are China and America Already in a Second Cold War?
*Syed Fraz Hussain Naqvi* *Cold War II, Eurasia* Cold War 2.0 must be analyzed in a multipolar framework instead of through a focus on any one state. During Donald Trump’s presidency, the term “Cold War 2.0” was popularized in the context of U.S.-China rivalry, which has been spurned by China’s economic rise. By becoming the fastest growing economy around the globe, China is challenging the U.S.-led economic system and laying the foundation to become a military superpower. As the second-largest military spender after the United States with a speculated military expenditure of nea... read more

Ukraine Invasion Will Raise Prices For These Three Goods
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Russia-Ukraine War, Ukraine* The Russian invasion of Ukraine is impacting prices throughout the world. The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) revealed that prices steadily trekked higher by 7.5 percent last month year-over-year—the fastest rate seen since in about four decades. Now, with Russian president Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine, that number is expected to shoot up even higher in the coming months. And already, there’s talk that inflation could reach and perhaps eclipse 10 percent, which would surely bring about even more pain to the pocketb... read more

Burnout and Moral Injury
I never had a name for it. But there was a frustration, something like anger and a kick in the gut, that I was being required to do things as a teacher that I knew were bad practice, not just useless in achieving success, but detrimental to my students. I first encountered the term "moral injury" in writing about the medical field (in an article no longer accessible on line). But I recognized it immediately from the last many years of my teaching career, and I think it's a useful concept to add to the whole "Is it low morale, or burnout, or what?" It has roots in work with soldier... read more

France and the United Kingdom Want to Build Hypersonic Missiles Together
*Caleb Larson* *Hypersonic Missile, Europe* The Future Cruise/Anti-Ship Weapon program would prioritize targeting and launch flexibility and could engage a variety of targets thanks to two missile designs. France and the United Kingdom are working together to develop a new missile. The project, dubbed the Future Cruise/Anti-Ship Weapon program, would replace several missile systems in British and French service, including the Harpoon (British) and Exocet (French) naval missiles, as well as the Franco-British air-launched Storm Shadow/SCALP cruise missiles. The program will funne... read more
On Climate Change, Africa Is Where the Rubber Hits the Road
*Ivor Ichikowitz, Richard Munang* *Climate Change, Africa* Young Africans don’t need to have their feet held to the fire on the question of implementing climate commitment because they already feel the heat. It only stands to reason that the rising generation on the continent most vulnerable to climate change is the most prepared to do something about it. While global leaders make and reiterate pledges as they did at the COP26 “Climate Summit” in Glasgow late last year, it is worth remembering that there currently exists no enforcement mechanism to hold them to their words. Youn... read more

Putin threatens EU for supplying arms to Ukraine
Epoch Times: Russia’s Foreign Ministry on Monday issued an apparent warning to European Union countries providing weapons to Ukrainian defense forces after Russia’s invasion last week. “There will be a harsh response to the EU actions. Russia will continue to ensure the achievement of vital national interests irrespective of the sanctions or their threat. It is time Western nations realized that their complete dominance in the global economy is long gone,” the Foreign Ministry told Interfax. It then warned that “EU citizens and entities involved in the delivery of lethal weapon... read more

Biden's energy policy facilitated Russia's war in Ukraine
*Washington Examiner:* *Europe needs more American oil and gas, not windmills and rainbows* To hear White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki tell it, the United States can reduce the world's energy dependence on Russia by installing solar panels and perhaps re-insulating homes. President Joe Biden began his term in office with a moratorium on new oil and gas leases on federal land. He need only take his boot off the industry's neck in order to produce much-needed energy given Russia's long-expected invasion of Ukraine last week. But on ABC's *This Week*, when asked about a possible pus... read more

If you find banning books disturbing, what about burning them? 🔥 📕
In Tennessee they are banning them. But there’s more than one way to censor a book. As Internet Archive librarian Chris Freeland explains, corporate publishers are suing the Internet Archive, demanding our library destroy 1.4 million digital books. "Whether through corporate bullying or government banning, digital books are not immune from censorship," explains Freeland. Many of these books don't exist anywhere else online--so we are the library of last resort. read more

JUST BEFORE THE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS, ROSS DOUTHAT ECHOES VLADIMIR PUTIN
President Biden's first State of the Union address is tonight.
