Late last month, Japan’s defense ministry made an unsettling announcement. A U.S. ground-based missile system, known as the Typhon and capable of firing Tomahawk missiles, would not return to the United States after being deployed to Japan for military exercises. Instead, it would be stored at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, at least temporarily. Tokyo tried to downplay the move, noting that the decision was intended to support training, not warfighting, and that no U.S. Army units would deploy with the missile system. But the reassuring language is unlikely to forestall the negative consequences of the posture change: an increase in military ten

Reports that more oil is getting through the Strait of Hormuz have been heralded as a win for the Trump administration, but experts say this kind of happy talk hides the fact that the war remains in a quagmire. As shipping costs rise and Iran continues to attack vessels, world markets — including fuel — will remain in peril for the foreseeable future. In other words, no matter how much narrative-shaping is attempted to alter American perspectives before the midterms, prices for consumers will not come down to so-called pre-war levels in time for any change. If anything, the diesel crisis continues , as does the impact of ships carrying dry bu

On September 21, the Kurdistan Region of Iraq officially announced the completion of the long-delayed unification and reorganization of its Peshmerga paramilitary forces under the Ministry of Peshmerga Affairs (MoPA). The Peshmerga are Kurdish armed forces, with roots going back to Kurdish guerrillas who fought as a more or less united front against successive Iraqi governments for most of the 20th century. After the 2003 invasion, though, they never came together as one Kurdish national army. Instead, they split into two separate party forces, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) and the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), each tied to one o

The current war with Iran and its chaotic unfolding open a door of great danger for the U.S. and the planet. At best, we are condemned to negotiations dominated by personal and political imperatives that seem to fit with a common description of insanity — to keep doing the same thing and expect a different result. At worst, the crisis raises the prospect that tactical nuclear weapons could be employed to solve it. The situation has now become so grave, and its implications for the global economy so devastating, that even China — which otherwise is notoriously disciplined in avoiding entanglement in other countries’ conflicts — has indicated o

This Sunday, Brazilian voters head to the polls to decide whether leftwing incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will win a historic fourth term. Lula’s challenger is Flávio Bolsonaro, who has styled himself as a more moderate version of his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, the rightwing firebrand who is serving a 27-year prison sentence for an attempted coup. The tight electoral contest has been defined by the economy, crime, and scandal, as a probe into a prominent jailed banker revealed that he financed a new hagiographic biopic about the elder Bolsonaro at Flavio’s request. If neither candidate receives more than 50% of th

Ethiopia is on the brink of another civil war. Last week, fighting between rebels and federal forces in the northern Tigray, Amhara, and Afar states left hundreds dead. These clashes may signal the start of a potentially devastating conflict in a country still recovering from a bloody civil war that killed approximately 600,000 people between 2020 and 2022. Fighting began as seven rebel groups from across various parts of the country announced the formation of a military coalition called the Ethiopian Peoples’ Forces Alliance for Survival . The alliance’s expressed aim is to remove the federal government headed by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Al

Flávio Bolsonaro, the right-wing candidate, unexpectedly defeated the incumbent left-wing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in an election Sunday but failed to secure a majority of the vote, setting up a runoff. Bolsonaro received 47.3 percent of the vote, while other right-wing candidates collectively garnered 5 percent and da Silva 44.8 percent. The results suggest da Silva faces a difficult fight to hold onto power. Pre-election polling had indicated da Silva would come out on top. The 45-year-old Bolsonaro is a senator and the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is in prison for orchestrating a coup to overturn his defeat in the

Politics Politics Hegseth’s Love of War Isn’t Conservative The secretary of defense has too much enthusiasm for something most humans would rather avoid—especially on the historical right. (Photo by Dursun Aydemir/Anadolu via Getty Images) The Cambridge Dictionary defines “relish” as “to like or enjoy something” and “to get pleasure from something.” I was reminded again this week at how much Pete Hegseth seems to relish war. The Secretary of Defense announced that there will be a new Office of Religious Affairs. “Our department is, you might say, putting on the full armor of God because while we wage physical war, we all know the real battle

China Taiwan Isn’t the Flashpoint for War that Analysts Say It Is Washington and Beijing have managed the difficult issue much better than you might realize. (Win McNamee/Getty Images) During the recent Trump–Xi summit in Washington, there was something of an awkward silence over Taiwan. That’s probably for the best. The issue did not need to be talked about, because Taiwan is what an international lawyer might call “settled diplomacy.” The genius of the longstanding diplomatic arrangement is that it does not resolve the Taiwan question. Instead, it settles how three governments—Washington, Beijing, and Taipei—will live with the fact that it

Religion Hegseth and Huckabee Misuse the Bible We cannot Christianize America by militarizing its historic faith. (Photo by Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images) On August 30, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee told the Jewish American Summit that he believed he was “chosen by Hashem”—i.e., by God—to serve in Jerusalem. He called his appointment “an Isaiah moment,” quoting Isaiah 6:8: “Here am I, send me.” He described his diplomatic post as “something engineered in heaven.” A few weeks later, on September 18, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth went to Texas A&M University to launch the Pentagon’s “Send Me Tour.” In a speech the next day, he cited the

The Saudi-backed, internationally recognized government of Yemen announced Sunday it was launching a major military campaign to recapture all parts of the country controlled by the Houthis, a militant group and ally of Iran. The Houthis control vast territory in Yemen including the capital Sanaa. As Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council made the announcement, the Houthis said they had launched successful missile strikes against Saudi Arabia including at energy facilities. Fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis broke out this July, ending a yearslong ceasefire, after an attack by Riyadh on the international airport in Sanaa. The UK’s

Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence Using AI-Generated Prose Hurts Your Career and the Whole Industry What do you think people are paying for? Word count? It seems to be difficult for my fellows in the commentariat to remember that things can get worse without threatening life on earth as we know it. I remain skeptical that artificial intelligence is going to bust loose of its own accord and start wiping out continents, or that it is going to cause a total death of white-collar work. Of course, like any technology, it will be harnessed to human wickedness and cause plenty of problems, but in this it is not distinct from the intern

The world needs more wind energy. But anyone designing new wind turbines or trying to squeeze more power out of existing ones faces a stiff challenge testing new approaches. That’s because the atmosphere is a tough place for a controlled experiment. Some researchers use wind tunnels to conduct tests, but scaled-down wind turbines in traditional wind tunnels can differ widely from conditions in the field. (Wind turbines are the largest rotating machines ever made.) The problem hampers not only development of better wind turbines, but also our understanding of basic questions like how much power to expect from a turbine when winds change direct
