Sanctions on North Korea ― Overused but underutilized
No one likes sanctions. They restrict trade, violate human rights, complicate humanitarian relief, and often do not work.

While they are undoubtedly over-used as a policy tool, they are paradoxically underutilized as an instrument for strategic bargaining and negotiation.

Russia poisons relations with the West
Alexei Navalny, Russia's top opposition politician who was poisoned on Aug. 20, is out of a coma. Navalny's case should prompt the U.S. and NATO nations to emerge from their own stupor regarding Russia, which is increasingly testing the West with its poisonous behavior.

No, US isn't 'winning' at coronavirus testing. But we could be
President Donald Trump likes to say no one is testing for COVID-19 like the U.S. If by that he means no country has been as disorganized and scattershot when it comes to testing for the coronavirus, that would be easy to believe.

Economics and culture war
LONDON ― I have long criticized economics for its lack of realism, and for producing “models” of human behavior that are at best caricatures, and at worst parodies of the real thing.
