    What Europe Gets About Cyber Threats That The US Hasn't -- Yet

    As technology executives prepare to testify this week before Congress about Russia's meddling in the 2016 election, expect to hear plenty about what companies like Facebook, Twitter, and Google could have done then and can be doing now to prevent disinformation from appearing on our screens.

    Civic Education To Save The Republic

    A recent report reminds us that if the future of the American republic is in question, doing a better job with civic education is the answer. The report for the “Democracy at a Crossroads National Summit” provides plenty of reasons for pessimism: people don’t trust their government, they don’t vote, they don’t take part in churches or other civic organizations like they used to.

    Manafort, Podesta Group Highlight DC Swamp Culture

    Back in February I wrote a piece titled, “No one mentions that the Russian trial leads to Democratic lobbyists.” The article described the ties between “hired-gun” Washington lobbyists and their rogue’s gallery of Russian and Ukrainian clients — some fugitives, others barred from entry into the United States — along with companies closely allied with the Kremlin.

    West Wing Reads For 10/30/17

    With ISIS in retreat, Victor Davis Hanson of the Hoover Institution writes in RealClearPolitics that the recent American victories against the terrorist state follow Secretary of Defense James Mattis relaxing the rules of U.S. engagement, and making it "veritable open season on Islamic State jihadists." He adds American forces are also training an entire new cadres of anti-ISIS fighters for the battlefield.

    China’s Struggle With The ‘New Domestic Normal’ And The ‘New International Normal’

    Amid an ailing international order and a substantially lower domestic growth rate, many are skeptical about China’s capacity to commit to ‘growing an open global economy’ as President Xi Jinping has commanded. We see this as an achievable objective, but only if Beijing pursues significant domestic policy realignments as well an ambitious collaboration with foreign countries to revamp international governance arrangements.
