As the Islamic State gains territory and sale au sildenafil online momentum in Iraq and Syria, the West seems confused. Even after weeks of U.S. air strikes against the group, President Obama admitted that he has no strategy for dealing with it. This comes after two separate remarks from Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Martin Dempsey that had decidedly different tones about the level of the threat. So is the http://slejko-conseil.fr/levitra-24-heures-d'expedition/ Islamic State enough of a threat to the U.S. that we should send ground troops back into the region?
Also this week, Russian tanks rolled into eastern Ukraine, and Russian forces seized Ukrainian territory along the Russian border, further escalating the five-month-old conflict. Clearly, Western sanctions have not changed Vladimir Putin’s calculations, so what should the U.S. do–if anything–to save Ukraine from Russia?
The conflict in Gaza seems to have cooled down, with both sides agreeing to an open-ended cease-fire. Both sides have claimed victory, even though the facts on the http://www.affiliate.priceza.com/viagra-buy/ ground appear to be largely the same as they were before the war began. Is either side justified in claiming victory? Where does the conflict go from here?
Finally, on a somewhat lighter subject, Burger King announced this week that it will merge with Canadian chain Tim Horton’s in a corporate inversion. It’s the latest of many such moves in which an American company merges with a foreign one and transfers its headquarters to the foreign company’s address. The move is intended to save the company from having to pay U.S. corporate taxes. Are these American companies being unpatriotic, or does the blame lie with the U.S. tax code?
Nick Brana (formerly of the Terry McAuliffe campaign), Al Mattei of TopoftheCircle.com, and Jason Russell of Economics21 discuss these issues.
