POLITICS6d agoWill Trump now receive the Nobel Prize? Rather someone who can resist him, experts sayIn Noorwegen wordt morgen bekendgemaakt wie dit jaar de Nobelprijs voor de Vrede krijgt. Dat ligt hoogstwaarschijnlijk al vast, maar ongeacht wie de winnaar wordt, zal het wenkbrauwen doen fronsen in het Witte Huis. De Amerikaanse president zal de vredesprijs namelijk niet krijgen, is de verwachting. Vorig jaar riep president Trump zichzelf tot rechtmatige winnaar uit. De Nobelprijs werd echter uitgereikt aan de Venezolaanse oppositieleider María Corina Machado voor "haar onvermoeibare inzet voor het bevorderen van democratische rechten voor de bevolking van Venezuela".

POLITICSOct 8Will Americans ever escape this 'imperialist realism'?Last week, after nearly two decades of fighting, the U.S. finally pulled the plug on its seemingly endless war in Iraq.Like our exit from Afghanistan just a few years ago, the end of fighting in Iraq was met with an eerie quiet. It doesn’t take much to figure out why so little attention is paid to the end of these wars: they mark yet another loss for America and the people in Washington who insist our military power can solve every problem, everywhere. Both conflicts are examples of American hubris — strategically incoherent wars fought with American lives at the expense of too many Iraqis andResponsible Statecraft
