@gmbutts Yes. The West’s choice to rely on China as a good-faith offshore manufacturing partner that respects intellectual property, fundamental human rights, and an island’s right to self-determination.

Has there been a bigger strategic miscalculation in the post WW2 era than Europe’s choice to rely on Russian energy? Serious answers only. Unless they’re hilarious.

The @strategistspod live show mentioned in the @politicoottawa playbook this morning. Does this mean we actually have to do the live show now? (H/T to @scottalyoung who monitors all my media mentions religiously and without compensation)

Would I be accurate describing the simultaneous popular/parliamentary uprisings against corrupt leaders in Pakistan and Sri Lanka as a "Desi Spring," or does the term "Desi" not extend to Sinhala-speaking Lankans? ("Subcontinental Spring" is the less euphonious alternative...)

@ourobororoboruo This is from 2011, and it’s been ages since I read it, but it really made an impression on this Asian-Canadian guy who was born and raised in the West: nymag.com/news/features/… Very keen to see what else you turn up. This topic constantly sits in a back corner of my brain.

Can anyone recommend some non-academic writing on the collision of hyper-masculinity instilled in Asian American men by their heritage cultures and their emasculation in the West?
