Djoomart Otorbaev: A U.S.-Russia deal on Afghanistan?

During their June 16 Geneva summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly offered U.S. President Joe Biden the use of Russian military bases in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan in order to coordinate actions vis-à-vis Afghanistan. The Kremlin's motives, of course, are not altruistic. Russia wants to prevent the United States from building its own bases in the region. But Putin's offer is tempting, and Biden may well find a way to accept it.

Martin Jacques: If US-China competition is not a new cold war, then what?

It is four and a half years since previous US President Donald Trump assumed office, marking the beginning of the US assault on China. The first six months of Biden's presidency have seen a continuation of America's anti-China stance. The fundamental line of continuity between Trump and Biden is their position on China. This supports the argument that America's shift on China, far from being some kind of Trumpian quirk, is in fact deeply rooted in American politics and society. We should not be surprised by this. The benign period of cooperation between the US and China from 1972-2016, 44 years altogether, was underpinned on the US side by two propositions: first, that China's economic rise would never challenge America's economic ascendancy; and second, that as China modernised, it would inevitably Westernise and in time become a Western democracy. By 2016, it was patently obvious that both assumptions were wrong. China's economy was already on a par with America's; and China's politi

One Sunday in late fall, I was driving with a friend to Newtown, a small town in Connecticut. The editorial staff called and told me that American troops were already on the ground in Afghanistan.

I even remember when I interviewed two high school students in New York, they couldn't even find Afghanistan on a map.
