War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 13 hours ago
*Washington Post:* *Trump heads to Asia where concerns are growing over possible war with North Korea* President Trump departed Washington on Friday for his first visit to Asia, a 12-day swing through five countries that comes as the once unthinkable has become a palpable concern from Tokyo to Seoul to Beijing — a war with a nuclear-armed North Korea. Trump’s escalating rhetoric and Pyongyang’s accelerating weapons programs have set the region on edge and prompted national security adviser H.R. McMaster to declare this week that the world is “running out of time” to stop the No... more »

The Poet: Fernando Pessoa, “Since We Do Nothing”

*“Since We Do Nothing”* “Since we do nothing in this confused world That lasts or that, lasting, is of any worth, And even what’s useful for us we lose So soon, with our own lives, Let us prefer the pleasure of the moment To an absurd concern with the future, Whose only certainty is the harm we suffer now To pay for its prosperity. Tomorrow doesn’t exist. This moment Alone is mine, and I am only who Exists in this instant, which might be the last Of the self I pretend to be.” - Fernando Pessoa

Iraq is witnessing some of the lowest violence since the 2003 invasion. Since the battle of Mosul concluded the Islamic State is retreating and rebuilding, and barely carrying out terrorist attacks let alone fighting in their last redoubts. October 2017 witnessed the fewest security incidents of the year, but had high casualty figures due to mass graves and fighting between the central and Kurdish regional governments. In October, there were just 286 incidents reported in the press. That averaged out to just 9.2 incidents per day, the lowest figure of not only 2017, but in years....more »
