  • Japan’s new ruling party has pledged to double its military spending, adding to ongoing dramatic arms procurement among Asian nations.
  • As the Taliban proves itself incapable of governing Afghanistan, America is entering bizarre negotiations with the Taliban to provide humanitarian aid to help the suffering Afghans.
