Why so many countries want to sit out new cold war

“Democracies are rising to the moment,” U.S. President Joe Biden said in his State of the Union address, as Russian President Vladimir Putin unleashed his vicious war on Ukraine. Francis Fukuyama leads a band of commentators claiming that the “spirit of 1989” is back and we are about to witness globally a “new birth of freedom.”

Standing for values instead of personalities

William Shakespeare's play “Romeo and Juliet” etched in the minds of people the world around the famous phrase, “What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.” Shakespeare was making the point that calling someone or labeling something is arbitrary.

It makes sense to put criminalized populations first for cannabis retail licenses

In state after state that's taken the leap to legalize recreational use of cannabis - doing so in large part to stop disproportionately dragging through the criminal justice system thousands of Black and Brown people who peddle and use a drug that's no more harmful than alcohol - a cruel irony has manifested.

Missouri might criminalize out-of-state abortions. That's ridiculous

The assault on women's reproductive rights in state legislatures across the country has ramped up since the Supreme Court signaled in December that it might uphold a Mississippi ban on abortion at 15 weeks of gestation and dismantle the landmark ruling in Roe vs. Wade that protects a woman's right to an abortion.

China wanted to appear neutral between Russia and Ukraine. It isn't

When Russia invaded Ukraine last month, a spate of wishful thinking ran through the West that China, a great power with friends on both sides, might step in to mediate a cease-fire.

Racial disparities in police stops are easier to find than to fix

A disturbing new report from Chicago's top government oversight agency offers a painfully familiar conclusion: Blacks are much more likely to be stopped by police and subjected to use of force than any other racial or ethnic group, but evidence for pinning the blame specifically on racial bias remains unclear.

NATO must find another way to protect Ukraine's skies

Watching TV shots of Vladimir Putin's army deliberately bombing and shelling civilians is like watching a movie of the London Blitz in 1940, when Adolf Hitler's air force rained death down from the air.

Putin's dangerous nuclear brinkmanship in Ukraine

Most Americans view nuclear weapons as a relic of the Cold War. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev agreed in 1985 “that a nuclear war can never be won and must never be fought.” That thinking has remained a “given” for the last 37 years. Unfortunately, Russian President Vladimir Putin may have other ideas.

Europe steps up to welcome refugees

Less than two weeks into Russia's invasion, 2 million Ukrainians have fled their country.
