Headlines and Highlights

In defense of trolls
Sadanand Dhume, The Times of India
Fears for freedom of expression in India are massively overblown. It’s only monopoly of expression that’s under threat.

Argentina’s new president makes bold start
Roger Noriega, AEIdeas
Mauricio Macri’s presidency is off to a quick start, but his administration will have to work across the aisle to accomplish lasting reforms in Argentina.

French far-right anti-immigrant party slams Trump Muslim ban
Mark Thiessen, AEIdeas
Republican front-runner Donald Trump’s proposed Muslim ban is even too radical for the leader of the French National Front, who compares Muslim immigration to the Nazi occupation of France.

GOP ❤ dictators
Danielle Pletka, AEIdeas
The only stable form of government is representative democracy, not a dictatorship. Sorry, Ted. Sorry, Rand.

Is Iran recalibrating in Syria?
Matthew McInnis, AEIdeas
As global powers search for a settlement to Syria’s civil war, Iran is not yet ready to give up its seat at the table. Particularly when it’s in a strong position to shape or spoil the settlement.

Kerry is wrong. Assad can never stay.
Michael Rubin, AEIdeas
For President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry to suggest that Assad can now stay is the equivalent of telling Emmett Till’s parents and those struggling for civil rights in the Deep South in the 1950s to just get over it.

Why Obama can’t catch up with Putin’s increasingly bold moves
Leon Aron, Mosaic Magazine
The Obama administration’s failed policy towards Russia stems from its fundamental misunderstanding of Putin’s motives.

2017 foreign policy and the 2016 campaign
John Bolton, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Whoever wins the 2016 presidential election must simultaneously pursue the elimination of Iran’s nuclear threat and a robust policy based on US leadership and full participation to destroy ISIS, not ultimately, but now.
