    What Questions Should Leaders Ask Before Going to War? | Council on Foreign Relations (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Historians will be unkind to President Donald Trump’s decision to launch Operation Epic Fury, which has just entered its eighth month. His administration never fully vetted the war it was launching, never decided what it was seeking to accomplish, and never asked how Iran could try to neutralize the U.S. military’s overwhelming edge. The United States now finds itself in a quagmire that has demonstrated the limits of U.S. power, exposed the Achilles’ heel of a U.S. defense strategy built on smal

    Bill Clinton Signs the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty | Council on Foreign Relations (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Thirty years ago today, President Bill Clinton signed the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). The treaty bars signatory countries from exploding nuclear devices for military or civilian purposes. In signing the treaty with the same pen that John F. Kennedy used three decades earlier to sign the Limited Test Ban Treaty, Clinton called the CTBT “the longest-sought, hardest-fought prize in arms control history.” Clinton didn’t realize at the time how accurate and prophetic his statement w

    Nikita Khrushchev's 1959 Visit to the United States | Council on Foreign Relations (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Xi Jinping is set to meet President Donald Trump at the White House in nine days. It will be the Chinese leader’s first trip to Washington, DC, in eleven years. DC residents can expect travel disruptions as motorcades cut through the city and the Secret Service closes streets around the White House. But barring something unusual, most Americans will barely notice the trip. Xi is not expected to stay more than a day in Washington, and his meeting with Trump is unlikely to produce any major agreem

    The Birth of the Star-Spangled Banner | Council on Foreign Relations (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Most singers struggle to perform it. No major American sporting event starts without it. It is played at the Olympic Games whenever an American participant wins a gold medal. I am speaking, of course, of the “Star-Spangled Banner,” the American national anthem. Francis Scott Key wrote it on September 14, 1814.
