Will the EU survive the coronavirus? - Responsible Statecraft
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron, photo by Frederic Legrand (COMEO / Shutterstock.com) The most insidious tactic of COVID-19 is to get a person’s body to attack itself.

This “cytokine storm” can lead to serious inflammation in the lungs and ultimately to major organ failure. COVID-19 seems to have had a similar effect on the international system.

Whither Afghanistan?
In August 2017, President Donald Trump announced a new South Asia strategy based on three basic precepts. There would be a surge of 3,000 additional U.S. personnel that would bring U.S. troop presence in Afghanistan to 15,000 soldiers. More robust terms of engagement would require U.S. troops to participate alongside Afghan soldiers in tactical on-the-ground operations with increasing US air support.

US and Pakistan: A Bumpy Ride
Pakistan-US relations, buffeted and bruised by the periodic bluster of Donald Trump and his cabinet colleagues throughout 2017, witnessed a first, albeit hazy, sign of abatement when Acting Assistant Secretary of State Ambassador Alice Wells visited Islamabad on January 15-16, 2018.

This Pakistani father-daughter duo took a trip to Shanghai and fell in love with the city
I used to tutor at a community college in downtown New York that catered to an immigrant population. My Chinese students, on learning my nationality, would smile and say knowingly, “Brother nation” or “Best friends.” The warmth was infectious and I’d respond in kind, the state-sponsored friendship a balm during a busy workday in a relentlessly busy city.
