Let's call the Biden campaign what it is: ELDER ABUSE
I'm growing more and more angry at the way Joe Biden is being treated by his family and political party during the 2020 Presidential campaign. If any of us treated our elder scions in this way, we'd be accused of elder abuse - *and rightly so!* Mr. Biden is *clearly* not in full control of his senses. He rambles, loses track of what he's saying, speaks nonsense words and phrases, and requires a teleprompter to remember what he has to say - even to the extent of apparently not being able to answer questions without one. His movements are no longer as springy and zesty as they use... more »

What U.S. Troops Are Really Doing In Syria
*Michael Hall* *Security, Middle East* U.S. policy toward Syria is defined by an absurdity that can’t be neatly untangled—a low-intensity regime change mission defined as anything other than its central mission. James Mattis famously resigned from his secretary of defense post citing opposition to President Donald Trump’s order to remove U.S. troops from Syria. So it came as a mild surprise when it was recently confirmed that Mattis opposed a plan to assassinate Bashar al-Assad, the president of Syria. This opposition was a prudent move as deposing Assad would not end Syria’s ci... more »

If you are one of the millions of people in the Midwest and Eastern U.S. who turned your gaze toward the sky recently, you may have noticed the Sun shining through an odd, milky haze.

These South Korean Soldiers Fought Alongside America in Vietnam
*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* Tough, battle-hardened South Korean troops were justly feared by Vietcong and North Vietnamese regulars alike during the Vietnam War. *Key Point*: While the Vietnam War is often remembered as a purely American effort, U.S. forces were not alone. On the night of February 13-14, 1967, the 11th Company of the 2nd South Korean Marine Brigade was occupying a position near the village of Trah Bin Dong in Quang Ngai province, South Vietnam. Its oval-shaped base was dotted by bunkers and trenches; the lines of thick barbed wire to the front were ... more »
SARS-CoV-2 Can Block Pain. What This Means for Research into Pain Relief?
*Rajesh Khanna* *Health, * A research group uncovered a link between a particular cellular protein and pain – an interaction that is disrupted by the coronavirus. This may have significant implications for the creation of non-opioid pain killers. Imagine being infected with a deadly virus that makes you impervious to pain. By the time you realize you are infected, it’s already too late. You have spread it far and wide. Recent findings in my lab suggest that this scenario may be one reason that people infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, may be spreading the dise... more »
Chadwick Boseman is a Greater Hero Than the Black Panther
*Vershawn Ashanti Young* *Culture, The Americas* Boseman’s everyday valour exceeds the heroism depicted in Black Panther, because Boseman’s heroism emanates from an ethical understanding of Black humanity. The same can’t be unequivocally said for Hollywood’s film, particularly in how it relied on stereotypes to both exalt a hero and demonize a villain. The public condolences offered for Chadwick Boseman, such as David Sims’ piece in *The Atlantic*, frequently refer to the actor as “heroic.” For many, Boseman crafted his personal life with the same regal comportment he used when ... more »

In Search of a Clear-Eyed U.S. Strategy on Russia
*Matthew Sussex* *Security, Eurasia* The rules that helped underpin Cold War stability no longer apply. An open letter signed by 103 experts recently called for the US to re-embrace its Cold War strategy for dealing with Russia. It argued that competition should be balanced with diplomacy and identified arenas for US–Russia cooperation: countering nuclear proliferation, protecting the environment and stabilising regional flashpoints. Above all, it advocated combining deterrence with détente. That’s a laudable goal, but it’s also deeply flawed. First, Russia has shown no signs wh... more »

COVID-19 Was Expected to Devastate Africa, But So Far That's Not the Case
*Burtram C.

Those dire forecasts have, so far, not been realised. Based on official figures – which may be somewhat under reported – COVID-19 has not been as devastating in South Africa as initially feared. Back in March and April this year case numbers on the continent were still modest. But predictions and projections were sombre. There seemed to be consensus that Africa... more »

If You Take This Natural Substance, It Will Help Break Down Carbs Immediately After Eating Them
