At just twenty-three, second-generation immigrant Jessie was working in the federal government to save for law school—even though he felt deep “disdain” for “big government.” Jessie‘s supervisor suggested that his current role could help him secure a job at the Department of Justice and receive law school funding.

Last month, I wrote about the waste and futility of deploying a national missile defense (NMD), focussing on the technical issues that make the system unnecessary, unworkable and unaffordable. This week, I want to discuss the many strategic problems that NMD will create and the geopolitical problems that will be created. There is nothing positive that can be associated with NMD, and the strategic issues are more threatening than the technical ones. It’s lose-lose in every way!

The war in Ukraine continues to shape China’s foreign relations. When European leaders visited Beijing last week to discuss trade and security, the need to find a resolution to the war was one major reason why Chinese-European relations had reached an “inflection point,” according to Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission president. For Europe, China’s close ties with Russia and perceived support for its war effort have overshadowed ties between China and Europe for more than three years. In Beijing, European Council President António Costa told his counterparts that China should “use its influence on Russia to respect the United Nations Charter and to bring an end of its war of aggression against Ukraine.”

| On August 6, 1945, the first atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima, Japan, by the United States. Three days after, the second atomic bomb hit the city of Nagasaki. The two bombs together killed more than 210,000 civilians—women, children, seniors, Koreans, Chinese, American prisoners of war, and others—by the end of the year. Since then the intergenerational effects of radiation around the world have continued to kill survivors of the bombings and their descendants. In this exhibition, 30 posters donated by the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum tell the stories of how the atomic bombs were created, what happened during the explosions, and why we should be concerned about nuclear
war. More information.
