As the Biden administration contemplates a return to Obama-era policies in the Middle East – from the Iran nuclear deal to Israeli-Palestinian negotiations it is finding those policies complicated by China’s rising role as an influential political player throughout the region.
China became the largest trading partner of Arab countries in the first half of 2020 with two-way trade of more than $115 billion. It has established strategic partnerships or a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with 12 Arab nations.
A recent survey conducted in the region found China is viewed more favorably than the United States. Arab Barometer, a research network based at Princeton University, polled citizens in six countries in the Middle East Algeria, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia to gauge their attitudes toward China and the U.S. The survey results make clear that Ar

Sunatimes.com -While the ongoing Tigray conflict continues to be fueled by high ethnic tensions, there is available an ideal method to calm tensions, end the prolonged violence, and prevent future conflicts. It is a brain-based technology called Invincible Defense Technology (IDT) which incorporates practices of non-religious Transcendental Meditation® (TM®)to quell violence and bring about peace. This unconventional yet highly effective and scientically-verified non-violent approach prevents tensions from arising before they result in conflict, war and terrorism.
American Militarism is Liable to Destroy Itself
At the Capitol and elsewhere, the US government helps make the violence it reaps.
Robert E. Lee, you may recall from your US history class, graduated second in his class from West Point, and later superintended it. Even so, he called it a snake pit. The US Army, that is, trained a man whose tactics later drove it to distraction and who came close to occupying its Capitol. Other graduates of the United States Military Academy who proved useful in the attempt to preserve racial supremacy and chattel slavery some of them trained in turn by Lee included Jubal Early, Braxton Bragg, Pierre G.T.

The world applauds the scientists who have created vaccines to deliver humanity from Covid-19. One certainty about our future: There will be no funding shortfall for medical research into pandemics.
Now, notice a contradiction. War is also a curse, responsible for untold deaths. Humans should do everything possible to mitigate it. And even if scientists cannot promise a vaccine, the obvious place to start working against future conflicts is by researching the causes and courses of past ones.
Yet in centers of learning across North America, the study of the past in general, and of wars in particular, is in spectacular eclipse. History now accounts for a smaller share of undergraduate degrees than at any time since 1950. Whereas in 1970, 6% of American male and 5% of female students were history majors, the respective percentages are now less than 2% and less than 1%, respectively.
