Dexter Filkins on Drones and the Future of Warfare
Since the end of the Cold War, most Americans have taken U.S. military supremacy for granted. We can no longer afford to do so, according to reporting by the staff writer Dexter Filkins. China has developed advanced weapons that rival or surpass America’s; and at the same time, drone warfare has fundamentally changed calculations of the battlefield. Ukraine’s ability to hold off the massive Russian Army depends largely on a startup industry that has provided millions of drones—small, highly accurate, and as cheap as five hundred dollars each—to inflict enormous casualties on invading forces. In some...

Niall Ferguson and Dexter Filkins: Who Will Win the Israel-Iran War?
It’s the fourth day in the war between Iran and Israel. Many questions hang in the air. Chief among them: Will Israel be able to fulfill its main goal in the war—to end Iran’s nuclear program? Will it put troops on the ground to do so, specifically to blow up Iran’s most important nuclear site? Or will the U.S. get involved? Will Trump provide the bunker-busting bombs necessary to destroy the facility at Fordow? Will the regime fall—and if so, what will come next? How does this struggle fit into the m...

What’s behind the U.S. military’s recruitment crisis?
The U.S. military is the most powerful and lethal in the world. But several branches of the armed forces have failed to meet their recruiting goals in recent years.

In a recent piece for the New Yorker, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Dexter Filkins writes about the state of the military today. He spoke with Apple News In Conversation host Shumita Basu about the roots of this recruitment crisis, how the current administration plans to address it, and what it...

Trump's Plan For Gaza / The U.S. Military's Recruiting Crisis
Last night, President Trump proposed a plan to displace all the Palestinians from Gaza, and get Jordan and Egypt to take them in, while the U.S. takes ownership of Gaza and rebuilds it into a Middle East Riviera. We'll talk with New Yorker staff writer Dexter Filkins about the impact of this proposal. We'll also talk with him about the recruitment crisis in the U.S. military, which has led military leaders to ask: can our country defend itself if not enough people are willing or able to fight?

Hezbollah's Pagers and Walkie-Talkies Explode. Now What?
On Tuesday, hundreds of encrypted pagers in Lebanon and Syria began exploding at the same time. Lebanon’s health minister said Tuesday that at least nine people were killed and 2,800 were injured. The tiny country’s hospitals were overwhelmed with patients suffering from burn wounds, blown-up hands, and groin injuries. The pagers belonged to members of the Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah. Then, just 24 hours later, a second wave of thousands more explosions again went off simultaneously in Lebanon: This time not only pagers, but also walkie-talkies all belonging to Hezbollah terrorists.

Dexter Filkins has reported on conflict situations around the world, and recently spent months reporting on the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border. In a recent piece, Filkins tries to untangle how conditions around the globe, an abrupt change in executive direction from Trump to Biden, and an antiquated immigration system have created a chaotic situation. “It’s difficult to appreciate the scale and the magnitude of what’s happening there unless you see it,” Filkins tells David Remnick.

E. Jean Carroll and Roberta Kaplan on Defamatory Trump, and Dexter Filkins on Ron DeSantis
Earlier this month, E Jean Carroll won an unprecedented legal victory: in a civil suit, Donald Trump was found liable for sexual abuse against her in the mid-nineteen-nineties, and for defamation in later accusing her of a hoax. But no sooner was that decision announced than Trump reiterated his defamatory insults against her in a controversial CNN interview. Carroll has now filed an amended complaint, in a separate suit, based on Trump’s continued barrage. But can anything make him stop? “The one thing he understands is money,” Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, tells David Remnick. “At some point he’ll unde...

Dexter Filkins and how to cover the Soleimani assasination
In 2013, Dexter Filkins wrote the definitive profile of Major General Qassem Soleimani, the architect of Iran’s “Axis of Resistance,” whom the US assassinated last week. On this week’s Kicker, Kyle Pope, editor and publisher of CJR, speaks with Filkins about the nuances of Iranian public opinion that the Western press has missed, and why Iran’s response may be far from over.

India's assault on Muslim rights — and democracy
Zack and Alex are joined by Vox reporter Sigal Samuel to talk about two recent measures in India that, when combined, amount to a plan for stripping citizenship from hundreds of thousands of Muslims. They explain what the laws actually do, the scary Hindu supremacist ideology motivating Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the impact Modi’s premiership is having on Indian democracy. They then zoom out to put India in global context, comparing democratic backsliding there to what we’re seeing in the West and its persecution of Muslims to what you’ve seen in two other nearby countries (China...

Fighting ISIS with James Verini
How did Iraqi soldiers wrestle Mosul back from the grip of ISIS fighters? In the summer of 2014, at the height of their expansion, the terror group managed to take one of Iraq's largest cities in a matter of days. Two years later, it took the Iraqi army nine months to win it back. War correspondent James Verini thought his summer assignment to Iraq would be a short one. Instead, he stayed embedded with soldiers as they engaged in the brutal and bloody street by street combat that ultimately liberated Mosul. This conversation is both a gripping look into the...

117: Leavenworth and Criminal #77, "The Escape"
The five-part documentary series from Starz, Leavenworth, looks at the very complicated case of Clint Lorance, and after the first episode, guest Jeb Lund and I were a little impatient with the painstaking set-up -- but mostly because we wanted more of the textured, compelling stories that all converge on a single incident in 2012. Will we keep watching? And should you? Later, we revisit what's probably an all-time top-ten true-crime topic: the 1962 escape from Alcatraz, this time as considered by Phoebe Judge on Criminal. I'm seldom NOT going to recommend a Criminal episode, and this one's no different...

美国华人:彦子追踪
彦子追踪 第45期
美国华人第1320篇文章这是“美国华人”最新推出的音频加图文栏目《彦子追踪》的第45期,请大家点击下面音频收听。正文共:4320字预计阅读时间: 11分钟撰文/主播:彦子音频版图文版欢迎来到《彦子追踪》。大家可能也察觉到了,自9月初,特朗普前竞选经理马纳福特认罪的大新闻之后,穆勒“通俄门调查”进展报道罕有在媒体出现了 —— 是的,按照司法部的惯例,在重大选举之前,政治调查转为低调。穆勒调查可能在中期选举后公布最新发现。(图片为bloomberg.org截屏)但星期三,彭博社独家披露,“通俄门调查”特别检察官穆勒受到了巨大压力,负责调查的司法部副部长罗申斯坦要求穆勒在中期选举之后,尽快结束调查,并出台关于特朗普“通俄门”以及干扰司法两项调查的关键性发现。按道理,这类调查的时间表不应该由司法部来决定,而是应该由特别检察官来决定。但是,目前的现实是,在中期选举之后,如果共和党依然控制着参众两院,特朗普就可以为所欲为了。前一阵,《纽约时报》爆出,罗申斯坦曾表示,可以窃听特朗普,并且会引用宪法第25条修正案,令其下台。消息一出,罗申斯坦几乎被特朗普炒掉。之后,特朗普带着罗申斯坦在空军一号上游了一圈。我估计,罗申斯坦对穆勒施压,就是那次和特朗普达成的协议。当然,也有可能,穆勒的首份报告带来的是“十一月惊奇”,比如当中有特朗普“通俄”或干扰司法的结论,甚至起诉意见书。那么,中期选举结果对穆勒调查就是生死存亡的关键了。中期选举结果:穆勒调查生死存亡政治分析人士称,特朗普会在中期选举之后,大开杀戒,开掉一些他不喜欢的部长们,其中,最引人注目的恐怕是司法部部长塞申斯了。尽管塞申斯在毒品问题、边境、难民问题上一直忠诚而强硬地执行特朗普的政策,甚至不惜把难民子女从父母身边带走,引发国际批评。但塞申斯在上任伊始,就表示自己需要在“通俄门调查”上回避,而由司法部副部长罗申斯坦来监督这一调查。罗申斯坦随后任命了穆勒,并且一直在调查范围、人力物力资源上给予很大支持。这令特朗普火大,三天两头把塞申斯和罗申斯坦提出来吊打 ,说什么“我没有司法部长”,“司法部长不是我的人”。可以预见,一旦塞申斯和罗申斯坦被撤掉,接下来就轮到穆勒了 —— 这是特朗普非常理想的状态。在11月的中期选举中,如果民主党无法夺回参议院和众议院中的一个,特朗普可以继续恣意妄为,把穆勒调查彻底关闭。而还有一个可能性就是,民主党至少夺回众议院,考虑到目前共和党众议院是特朗普的傀儡,如果民主党可以夺回一个议院,“通俄门调查”的走向会大不一样,可以通过法案,保护穆勒调查,直到水落石出。刚被任命的最高法院大法官卡瓦诺引发危机。(图片来自https://commons.wikimedia.org)卡瓦诺:特朗普议题上需要回避在刚刚过去的美国最高法院大法官卡瓦诺任命过程中,至少有三名女性出面指控卡瓦诺涉嫌性侵性骚扰,但是,共和党控制的参议院没有进行彻底调查,强行通过了他的任命 —— 共和党参议院领袖麦康纳尔再次以党派为先的表现造成对美国司法体系的长久伤害。特朗普本人没有同情心同理心,缺乏基本道德底线,认为法律限制了他的为所欲为。这一次,特朗普破例从保守派法官名单中,挑中了品格有很大瑕疵的卡瓦诺。最重要的原因是,卡瓦诺曾明确撰文表示,现任总统不应该受到起诉 —— 特朗普当然会把自己的利益得失放在最高法院的司法独立和司法权威之上。中期选举之后,如果民主党掌握参众两院中的一个,会继续就卡瓦诺的性侵指控、在参议院听证会上撒谎等进一步展开调查。此外,在参议院听证会上,卡瓦诺开场直指,对他的性骚扰指控是民主党、克林顿的疯狂报复 —— 这番赤裸裸的表演,充分表明他是个不在乎挑动政党偏见、热衷狗哨政治,而且和特朗普一样,为达到目的可以不择手段的人。《纽约时报》发表一篇法学专家的文章称,在今后最高法院的裁决中,任何关于女性权益、政治利益、以及总统特朗普相关的议题 —— 比如一旦有实锤证据证明特朗普通俄以及干扰司法,法庭是否有权传唤特朗普、起诉特朗普等,官司很可能会一直打到最高法院 —— 穆勒团队律师或法庭都有权力要求卡瓦诺回避。必须说明,最高法院大法官是否就裁决回避,是需要大法官自己决定,也可以是总统和参议院的决定 —— 从卡瓦诺的表现看,他不具备这样的廉耻心,而如果特朗普和共和党控制参议院,也不可能对他提出“回避”的要求。这意味着,如果卡瓦诺在涉嫌“利益冲突”或“有偏见”的议题中,没有要求回避的话,会给最高法院裁决结果的公正性笼罩上阴影 —— 这才是为什么对最高法院大法官自身,包括专业性和人品,要求格外高的原因。这点上,特朗普个人的道德底线过低,也让最高法院大法官的任命蒙羞。特朗普:书面回答穆勒提问上星期,CNN率先报道,特朗普律师团队终于和穆勒谈好了条件,允许特朗普书面回答问题。特朗普律师团队一直竭力反对特朗普和穆勒面谈,理由是,特朗普的精神状态不具备当面谈话的条件,很可能自证有罪。知情人士透露,这一次,穆勒给特朗普的书面问题主要是围绕“通俄”问题,也就是特朗普团队和俄国军情骇客等机构的联络。这是穆勒和特朗普团队谈判了近一年的成果。
