    The Scramble for Syria

    Carla Norrlöf

    The United States and its allies have a unique opportunity to help Syria finally move away from foreign-sponsored proxy wars and toward a more balanced regional alignment.

    Eric Posner

    The US president-elect has vowed to round up illegal immigrants and raise tariffs, but he will probably fail to reinvigorate the economy for the masses, who will watch the rich get richer on crypto and AI.

     thinks the next president will be forced to choose between big business and the forgotten man.
