In what appears the first significant US foreign policy alteration due to the coronavirus pandemic , President Trump reportedly nixed plans for a large-scale attack on “ Iranian proxies ” in Iraq last week amid a tit-for-tat following rocket attacks on a US base there , which killed two Americans .
The Commander-in-Chief specifically cited coronavirus as reason for holding off on such a major attack , which would surely bog American forces down further in an ongoing battle against Iran inside neighboring Iraq , which Washington fears has long come under the control of the Shia clerics in Tehran @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it would “ look bad ” at the moment of a global pandemic .
NBC reports : “ President Donald Trump told his top national security advisers last week that because of the coronavirus pandemic he didn ’ t think an aggressive response to new attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq by Iranian-backed militias was the right move , according to one former and four current senior U.S. officials.
” He was reportedly being pressed by Iran hawks in the cabinet , of which there are plenty , for a much more muscular @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hezbollah locations across southern Iraq on March 12 were limited to to just five militia weapons depots .
Trump rejected the proposals , and stunningly in a rare moment of White House common sense decision-making under pressure , NBC reports : Trump expressed concern that hitting back hard at Iran at this time would make the U.S. look bad given the extent to which Iran and the rest of the world are struggling to contain the spread of COVID-19 , the officials said .
They said the president made the comments during a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on possible military responses to the attacks .
If only such concerns of “ looking bad ” in front of the rest of the world would be even a remote consideration in more normal times , perhaps Washington ’ s constant foreign policy adventurism could finally be reigned in .
The US has come under intense criticism from Europe and allies across the globe for its severe sanctions on Iran at a moment the pandemic threatens millions inside the economically devastated country .

The Commander-in-Chief specifically cited coronavirus as reason for holding off on such a major attack, which would surely bog American forces down further in an ongoing battle against Iran inside neighboring Iraq, which Washington fears has long come under the control of the Shia clerics in Tehran.
More importantly, the president thought it would “look bad” at the moment of a global pandemic.

A forced temporary shutdown must also include a shutdown of the tax collection system. Governments already finance themselves at negative rates. They must eliminate (not defer) tax payments for companies in the period of crisis to avoid a massive unemployment increase and a domino of bankruptcies and facilitate working capital lines at zero rates to allow businesses and self-employed workers to navigate a shutdown.

newswars--2020-03-20--Even When They’re Wrong, We Can Learn From Understanding Others’ Theories

A few years ago , I got very excited about pluralistic economic thinking .
In hindsight I realize that I was heeding the advice of two influential people whom I wasn ’ t more than briefly familiar with : the nineteenth-century British political economist and philosopher John Stuart Mill and the now ninety-year-old Swedish economist Assar Lindbeck .

Early in his career , Lindbeck wrote several papers on competing economic frameworks , explicitly calling for the benefits that a pluralistic outlook brings .
Learn about others , assess their strengths and weaknesses , and build your intellectual understanding horizontally , not vertically .
It ’ s along the edges of theories @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them tick—what makes and breaks scientific theories .
Being curious about other approaches is usually beneficial for your own development , too .
Mill , a liberal philosopher and great thinker , has a striking quote in his 1859 On Liberty that couldn ’ t be more sorely missed on college campuses today : He who knows only his own side of the case , knows little of that .
His reasons may be good , and no one may have been able to refute them .
But if he is equally unable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ side ; if he does not so much as know what they are , he has no ground for preferring either opinion .
Both Lindbeck and Mill cherished the construction and acceptance of competing economic frameworks , all in the name of furthering understanding .
A pluralistic outlook also goes very well with the study of the history of economic thought , as the same approach is applied through time .
Researchers in the history of our discipline investigate previous economists ’ convictions without necessarily sharing any of their underlying beliefs and premises @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or policy proposals through various economists is valuable work even if you believe that those methods or policy proposals are unworkable or mistaken .

A few years ago, I got very excited about pluralistic economic thinking.
In hindsight I realize that I was heeding the advice of two influential people whom I wasn’t more than briefly familiar with: the nineteenth-century British political economist and philosopher John Stuart Mill and the now ninety-year-old Swedish economist Assar Lindbeck. To an international audience the latter is mostly known for developing the insider-outsider theory of labor markets and for being the longest-serving member of the Nobel Prize committee in economics. Among everyday Swedes, his name is mostly associated with the public commission he chaired following the 1990s banking collapse, which proposed 113 recommendations for improved economic policy (including a floating exchange rate, deregulation, and sharply reigned-in public spending)—all laying the ground for the successful capitalist economy that is modern Sweden.
Early in his career, Lindbeck wrote several papers on competing economic frameworks, explicitly calling for the benefits that a pluralistic outlook brings. Learn about others, assess their strengths and weaknesses, and build your intellectual understanding horizontally, not vertically.
It’s along the edges of theories and ideologies that you discover what makes them tick—what makes and breaks scientific theories. Being curious about other approaches is usually beneficial for your own development, too. Mill, a liberal philosopher and great thinker, has a striking quote in his 1859 On Liberty that couldn’t be more sorely missed on college campuses today:
He who knows only his own side of the case, knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side; if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion.
Both Lindbeck and Mill cherished the construction and acceptance of competing economic frameworks, all in the name of furthering understanding.
A pluralistic outlook also goes very well with the study of the history of economic thought, as the same approach is applied through time. Researchers in the history of our discipline investigate previous economists’ convictions without necessarily sharing any of their underlying beliefs and premises. Tracing methods, convictions, conclusions, or policy proposals through various economists is valuable work even if you believe that those methods or policy proposals are unworkable or mistaken.
Usually, reality is one thing—not many. When something happens in the world, it has a cause—even if that cause is a combination of different people acting or interacting with critical institutional systems, or if we can’t tease out exactly what it is. When Babylonian long-distance traders set out for foreign lands or medieval knights decided to band together to oust some intruder from a castle, they did so for specific reasons—for lack of surviving evidence we might not know those reasons, but we can be sure that they existed.
Academic research aims at truth, at figuring out what is—at separating what happened and what caused it from what merely coincided with it.
That being said, some theoretical paradigms apply to the question one is investigating and others are mistaken. A good reason to defend pluralism approach nonetheless is that economic data is usually quite noisy: many theoretical interpretations are consistent with observed outcomes—outcomes that are often subject to statistical illusion.
The philosopher of economics Daniel Hausman argues that economists sticking to their theoretical postulates in the face of empirical observations seemingly contradicting them are not irrational or dogmatic. Rather, as economists are “blessed with behavioral postulates that are plausible, powerful, and convenient, and cursed with the inability to learn much from experience,” maintaining a commitment to many different theoretical frameworks enriches your understanding of economic events. Taking “account of how bad these data are,” argues Hausman, is a prudent reaction—not a scientific failure.
Another reason to favor a pluralistic outlook in economic scholarship is Hayek’s idea of “fatal conceit” and the broader idea of complete knowledge analogously applied to ideas rather than the direction of economic goods. The presumption of knowing better than a decentralized market—which central planners hold everywhere and anywhere—is highly unlikely to be correct, if not laughably impossible.
It is prudent for individual economists to pursue their research with humility and respect for deviants. Mises himself seems to have adopted such a position in encouraging Rothbard’s update of his theory of consumer sovereignty as well as the dispute over monopoly theory. Franz Machlup, a student of Mises and prominent mid-twentieth-century Austrian economist, reflected on the master’s contribution and took pride in his teacher’s tolerance towards some of his diverging beliefs: “admiration for the teacher and his teaching should count more than orthodox conformity with revealed articles of faith,” Machlup finishes.
In short, pluralism in economics just means to follow Mill: learn from many different strands of thinking and be familiar with more paradigms than just your own. That enriches your understanding of economic debates and puts you in a better place to assess opposing arguments.
This is as true today as it was during the flourishing intellectual era of prewar Vienna. In true Enlightenment fashion, we ought to reawaken the fin-de-siècle Viennese intellectual atmosphere so celebrated by authors such as Stefan Zweig.

The US has been redoubling its efforts to develop hypersonic weapons ever since Russia announced its successful development of a series of such armaments back in 2018 .
The US Department of Defence ( DoD ) has announced that it has successfully tested a common hypersonic glide body ( C-HGB ) , firing it on 19 March from a missile range located on the island of Kauai in Hawaii .
The DoD noted in an official statement that the launch was a “ major milestone ” in the US path to acquire hypersonic weaponry .
The statement went on to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ designated target at a “ hypersonic speed ” , but did not clarify how many Mach it reached .
It further noted that the US Missile Defence Agency would be studying the flight data and reporting on the progress of the American hypersonics program once it is done .
The Pentagon also released a video showing the moment when the new hypersonic weapon was launched from the range .
Washington started looking into developing a hypersonic weapon back in the 2000s , but decided to halt most of its programmes after initial tests @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The US redoubled its efforts to develop hypersonic missiles , as well as the means to intercept them , after Russia ’ s President Vladimir Putin unveiled three Russian projects in the same sphere .

An Italian virologist says that the country ’ s attempt not to appear “ racist ” in the early says of the coronavirus outbreak crippled the ability to properly respond to the pandemic .
Professor of Virology and Microbiology at the University of Padova Dr. Giorgio Palù told CNN that measures imposing travel restrictions and border controls were taken too late due to fears over political correctness .
“ There was a proposal to isolate people coming from the epicenter , coming from China , ” Palù told CNN .
“ Then it became seen as racist , but they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Italy is now the hardest hit country in the world in terms of coronavirus deaths , with 3,405 people losing their lives .
The need to minimize potential “ racism ” and “ stigmatization ” in response to the coronavirus was a policy endorsed by the World Health Organization itself on numerous occasions and adopted by the left-wing Italian government .
As we previously highlighted , the Mayor of Florence launched a nationwide campaign at the start of February encouraging Italians to hug Chinese people on the street to “ stem the hatred.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Italians physically removing a Chinese man ’ s face mask while closely embracing him .
The Mayor even released a Twitter video of himself hugging an awkward-looking Chinese person to promote the campaign , which was launched to “ express solidarity with the Chinese community.
” Now Italian hospitals in some areas are completely overwhelmed and the entire country is on lockdown .
This once again underscores how political correctness , which leftists often define as “ just being nice to people , ” can often have deadly consequences .

newswars--2020-03-21--Calls Increase for MSM to Stop Airing Trump Live: ‘You Will Get People Killed’

Calls are increasing for cable networks to stop airing President Donald Trump ’ s press conferences live as critics believe Trump is turning White House news briefings into virtual campaign rallies that can “ get people killed ” with lies about the Coronavirus crisis .
The pressure only increased after Trump ’ s Friday briefing .
The Atlantic ’ s James Fallows believes the attention-starved Trump is turning the press conferences into “ virtual campaign ” rallies and Trump would actually lose interest in showing up if the media did not cover the briefings live .
“ Also , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were no longer covered live , Trump would lose interest in attending himself , ” Fallows argues .
“ Then the scientists could come back on stage—and eventually they could be covered live again.
” Owen gets a call from Rachelle , who grew up next to Trump in Queens , and she confirms that he is a true patriot .
Fallows noticed that Trump only “ dropped his previous pooh-poohing of the virus threat ” and “ struck a somber ” tone for just a day before reverting “ back to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rallies .
In those settings he has had two constant themes : that he is so great , and that his critics are such cheating losers , each point usually based on information that was false ” : The tone , and the false data , returned yesterday .
Much of what Trump said was false : Most dramatically , his claim that the FDA had just approved use of an anti-malaria drug for treatment of COVID-19 , and that it would be a “ game-changer.
” ( FDA officials immediately clarified that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) Trump ’ s new fondness for these “ briefings , ” and their increasing conversion into Trump campaign rallies with scientists rather than local-government officials as the supporting cast , should cause cable-news producers to reflect on the path they are headed down .
