How the West enabled war in Ukraine
How the West enabled war in Ukraine
Contrary to what Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed, and what political scientists like John Mearsheimer believe, NATO enlargement did not cause Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Nor did a sudden descent into irrationality by Putin, who, starting with his Munich Security Conference speech back in 2007, has long telegraphed his irredentist intentions. The key enabler of ...

We must fix the nursing shortage
We must fix the nursing shortage
Where did all the nurses go? One of my family members ended up in the ER for a week after a bad fall. The hospital we chose and its staff were wonderful in every way, but this time, one important thing was missing: an appropriate number of nurses to deliver superior care.

War and cryptocurrency
War and cryptocurrency
With the devastation of the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine has been receiving a lot of financial aid via cryptocurrencies. With the decentralized nature of crypto, this form of digital currency has proven to be a powerful tool helping Ukraine fight back against Russia. Since the invasion, donations in cryptocurrencies have reached a total of almost $100 million a...

Will Ukraine war ease US-China tensions?
Will Ukraine war ease US-China tensions?
The Ukraine war has put China in a bind. As a friend of both Russia and Ukraine, China has no desire to pick a side. On the contrary, conventional Chinese wisdom dictates that, when two friends fight each other, the primary objective must be to end the conflict through mediation. While China's balanced stance has aroused more than a little suspicion, it could end up hastening...

Men are dying from lack of attention
Men are dying from lack of attention
Recently, a friend showed me a sobering graphic depicting the gender disparity in suicide rates between men and women. While females tend to attempt suicide more often than men (and experience suicidal thoughts more frequently,) males are more “successful” in completing the act.

Why China won't mediate end to Ukraine war
Why China won't mediate end to Ukraine war
Russian President Vladimir Putin thought he could quickly capture Kyiv and replace Ukraine's government. Whether he was misled by poor intelligence or by his own fantasies about history, his “smash and grab” failed in the face of effective Ukrainian resistance.

Tokyo fancies possible Japan-US-Korea alliance with change of leader in Seoul
Tokyo fancies possible Japan-US-Korea alliance with change of leader in Seoul
South Korean President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol shares three common things with Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida - conservative leaning, hostility toward North Korea, and a hate-China outlook. This means a possible Fumio-Yoon-Biden security cooperation is already a cause of concern for Beijing.

Putin and Xi: brethren of the same spirit
Putin and Xi: brethren of the same spirit
The “blitzkrieg” victory Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin dreamt of in Ukraine clearly did not come true. Being sanctioned and outlawed, the pariah that Russia deserves to be, Vladimir Putin has one last ally he hopes to be able to rely on: the People's Republic of China.

America must give Zelenskyy tools he needs
America must give Zelenskyy tools he needs
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's recent speech to Congress may not have been the Churchillian moment people had hoped for, but it got the job done. He asked for what his country needed, plainly, simply, and without folding into a grand discourse on the responsibilities of the world's democracies to keep it safe from fascism as the late, great British leader might hav...

Madeleine Albright's potent legacy for women
Madeleine Albright's potent legacy for women
I first met Madeleine Albright in 1988, when I was a very junior staffer on Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis's presidential campaign and she was one of his foreign-policy advisers, alongside Harvard professor Joseph S. Nye, Jr., who was already a star in the foreign-policy firmament. Madeleine was teaching at Georgetown, and was already a political veteran, having worke...
