Israeli-Palestinian conflict not fading away
Israeli-Palestinian conflict not fading away
Five Israelis shot dead in Bnai Brak and two more in Tel Aviv. Clashes at the Al Aqsa Mosque, where more than 150 Palestinians were wounded by Israeli riot police. Stabbings in southern Israel and Jerusalem; counterterrorism raids across the West Bank that killed more than a dozen Palestinians. Exchanges of rockets and airstrikes between the Gaza Strip and Israel.

End of COVID-19 bull market
End of COVID-19 bull market
More than 20 years ago, legendary investor Warren Buffet warned about investment bubbles by declaring, “Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked.” Buffett's famous words seem pertinent with the fears of inflation shaking financial markets after two years of irreverent increases in asset prices.

Why Putin wants to destroy Ukraine
Why Putin wants to destroy Ukraine
Russian President Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine is so savage precisely because he believes Russians and Ukrainians are one people. To understand his decision to invade, we should listen to how he himself explains it - and we should listen even more intently when the rationale that he offers seems so absurd.

Clash of Civilizations: Russian vs. Nordic pavilions at Venice Biennale
Clash of Civilizations: Russian vs. Nordic pavilions at Venice Biennale
Russia and the Nordic countries' pavilions at this year's Venice Biennale, the world's most prestigious art exhibition, project two different concepts of civilization, nationalism and sovereignty that have come to blows in Ukraine.

What Shanghai lockdown tells us about China's future
What Shanghai lockdown tells us about China's future
After signaling that it was moving to a more nuanced COVID-19 policy, Shanghai - a city of 26 million - was pressured by the central government to lock down in late March, and has only just started to ease restrictions after almost one month. The official reason for this drastic policy shift is that citywide testing had revealed high infection rates. Yet one is left wondering...

Singapore, reluctant US-China go-between, yet useful to both
Singapore, reluctant US-China go-between, yet useful to both
Ever since my first meeting with Lee Kuan Yew a quarter of a century ago, Singapore has remained in my mind as a special place. By the time of the founding prime minister's passing at age 91 in 2015, that assessment was going global; even in Hong Kong circles, where desultory governance and economic factors, especially housing, seemed to inspire spasms of exodus, Singapore se...

What are book bans really about? Fear
What are book bans really about? Fear
More years ago than I really care to count, the children's librarian in my little town in rural northwestern Connecticut, apparently tired of my endlessly renewing the same book over and over again, pressed a copy of “The White Mountains” by John Christopher into my eight-year-old hands.

End 'imperial' presidency
End 'imperial' presidency
President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol has been promising to end the country's “imperial” presidency since he launched his presidential candidacy last year. After winning the March 9 election, he reaffirmed his pledge by announcing a plan to relocate the presidential office from Cheong Wa Dae to a new site in Yongsan, central Seoul.

What NATO's northern expansion means
What NATO's northern expansion means
While the likely outcome of Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine remains unclear, Russia's aggression has already changed the European security order in important ways. The only modern European historical comparison is Hitler's invasion of Poland in September 1939. Both cases involved large-scale unprovoked attacks on a neighboring country with the aim of eliminating it. Hitl...
