The U.S. constitution enacted in 1789 – the basic law of the country – was in important respects intended to ensure civilian oversight and control of the U.S. military.  It provides that only the civilian law-making congress can declare war, and that the President – a civilian- is the top   commander of all military forces.

Northwest Passage: Trump Card for US Arctic Policy? By Jeremy McCoy, December 07 2016 President Barack Obama has pinned a chunk of his legacy to policies in the Arctic and circumpolar north. He made an historic trip to Alaska last year. Initiatives to address Arctic climate change and environmental concerns, rolled out while the United States chairs the eight-nation Arctic Council, have been high priorities for the outgoing president. Now President-elect Donald Trump, a climate-change skeptic, is ready and able to rethink all of Obama's Arctic policies. The TPP is Dead. What Happens Next? By Kavaljit Singh, December 07 2016 On Monday, the US president-elect Donald Trump announced that the US will pull out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade pact on his first day in office (January 20). In a video message outlining his policy plans for the first 100 days in the Oval Office, Trump stated: "I am going to issue a notification of intent to withdraw from TPP, a potential disaster for our country. Instead, we will negotiate fair, bilateral trade deals that bring jobs and industry back on to American shores." Russia and China Veto Phony Aleppo Ceasefire UN Security Council Resolution By Stephen Lendman, December 07 2016 US, UK and French dirty hands were behind a Security Council resolution calling for a seven-day ceasefire in Aleppo – on the phony pretext of providing humanitarian aid they're supplying only to terrorists. US Policymakers Propose Working Closer with the State Sponsors of the Islamic State (ISIS-Daesh) By Tony Cartalucci, December 07 2016 US-based corporate-financier funded policy think tank, the Brookings Institution, published a particularly incoherent piece titled, "Should we work with the devil we know against the Islamic State?"

Breitbart News is taking the business of outrage to Europe

The best of The Economist online View in browser | E-mail a friend         THE BEST OF THE ECONOMIST ONLINE         Daily Dispatch | Wednesday | December 7th 2016       Alt-right media: “America first”—European edition The formula for Breitbart News—enraging readers with emotion-laden clickbait and attacks on mainstream media—has taken off. Oddly for a site that scorns the ideals of a global order, it plans to expand in mainland Europe with French and German editions. Conditions are ripe: both countries will hold elections next year and far-right parties are on the rise. The business of outrage may become another ubiquitous American export       The dismal science: Think again When it comes to economic policy, economists have long advocated liberalisation. They assumed it would generate gains large enough to make everyone better off, some of which could be redistributed to the losers. The success of populists suggests that most people do not want handouts but secure employment. Economists may have to change the way they think about trade deals and redistribution, writes our economics columnist       Advertisement         South Korea: Park life The parliament is set to vote on a motion to impeach Park Guen-hye, the president, on Friday. She is accused of sharing state secrets with a confidante, Choi Soon-sil. Yet Ms Park’s unpopularity has deeper roots. Her leadership style is imperial and aloof, and her parentage—her father was a dictator—puts off younger voters. Even her longstanding fans believe she is damaging national pride, writes our Koreas correspondent     Nature documentaries: Snakes on a planet “Planet Earth II”, a popular BBC show, depicts dramatic battles between animals and their prey.

The answer helps shape how human beings see the natural world.

Lone ship left searching for MH370 after Chinese vessel pulls out

News24 Wednesday 7th December, 2016

Canberra - The seabed search for the missing Malaysian airliner has been left to a single ship, with a Chinese vessel heading home to Shanghai, officials said on Wednesday.

A Dutch survey ship Fugro Equator will finish the search of the southern Indian Ocean for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 alone after resupplying at the southwest Australian port of Fremantle, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, which co-ordinates the search, said in a statement.

The Chinese ship, Dong Hai Jiu 101, had finished searching the 120 000kmamp;sup2; expanse last weekend and was headed back to Fremantle to drop off equipment before returning to its home port of Shanghai, the statement said.

The Chinese ship in February joined three search vessels operated by the Dutch underwater survey company Fugro in the hunt for the Boeing 777 that authorities say crashed with 239 people aboard far off the southwest coast of Australia on March 8, 2014.

Possible financial reward

Fugro Equator is expected to finish the search by February, the statement said. The ship is using a highly manoeuvrable drone known as an autonomous underwater vehicle to get sonar images of difficult terrain.

A group of victims' relatives travelled to the island nation of Madagascar off the southeast coast of Africa and this week offered locals possible financial rewards to search for debris from the plane.

A Malaysian official investigating the disappearance visited Madagascar's capital, Antananarivo, to pick up debris that has already been found and will be analysed to see if it came from the aircraft.

Confirmation that the plane crashed came last year when a wing part washed ashore on Reunion Island in the western Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar. Authorities have offered no explanation of why the plane flew off course during a flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing.
