Mass shootings happen all over the world. But their frequency in the US is a uniquely American problem. And their frequency in this particular period in our history is no accident.

We have a president who demonizes groups of people, even cities. He uses words as weapons, warning of an “invasion” of immigrants — a surge at the border that his hostile policies created.

The connection between being a convicted criminal and having a fixation on fashion might be perplexing to some, but not to me. As a longtime fashion editor and fashion follower, I get it. Having a closet filled with great clothes is empowering and it can impart a feeling of confidence, even if it’s just an illusion. As renowned costume designer Edith Head once said: “Confidence can’t be bought, but an outfit that exudes it can.”

Trying to pander to African Americans, President Donald Trump recently criticized Sweden for not releasing rapper A$AP Rocky, who has been charged with assault. It’s curious that he never called out Saudi Arabia for torturing and killing Washington Post columnist Jamal Kashoggi.

Trump also vetoed legislation preventing certain weapons to be sold to the Saudis. All of this is further proof that Trump is much more comfortable with repressive regimes than the rule of law.

Il y a deux espèces de nouvelles : les bonnes et les mauvaises... et quitte à vous surprendre, je vous dirais que les mauvaises ne sont jamais nouvelles... elles sont fort anciennes... Encore faut-il que l'on s'en souvienne et toute méprise vient de ce que l'on ignore qu'elles ne sont que des reprises.

En guise d'exemple, je vais moi aussi opter pour la rediffusion pour vous épargner toutes sortes de confusion.

It is often said that the American military is fighting every war based on the lessons learned from the last one. Today, that’s not an option because its past conflicts will not prepare the US for the battlefield of cyberspace.

A billion-dollar aircraft carrier and its companion attack group can be destroyed with a handful of missiles. A cyberattack from Russia or China may know no limits and no antidote. This is the world that Richard Clarke looks at in this week’s WhoWhatWhy podcast.

Le livre de Stephen Alan Bourque, Au-delà des Plages – La guerre des alliés contre la France[1], qui vient de paraître aux éditions Passes Composés, dans une traduction due à Simon Duran va provoquer un important et salutaire débat. Stephen Bourque est un historien issu de l’institution militaire qui a enseigné au School of Advanced Military Studies et qui est professeur émérite au U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. Disons-le tout de suite, ce livre, au delà d’un sous-titre racoleur, est une excellente initiative.
