STRIPPING THE GUNS FOR A SUICIDE MISSION Colleague James M. Scott. For the March 9th raid, LeMayordered bombers stripped of all guns and ammunition to carry more incendiaries and prevent friendly fire in the dark. Crews viewed this low-level entry into a heavily defended city as a suicide mission, with predictions of 70% casualties. LeMay bypassed his superiors, not informing Washington or Brigadier General Norstad until the planes were nearly launching. The target was Asakusa, a dense residential district home to 135,000 people per square mile. The objective was to create a self-sustaining firestorm that would act as its own weather system.

Danny and Derek are joined by historian Aileen Teague to discuss the renewed U.S. focus on Latin America as part of the War on Drugs. They talk about recent U.S. actions in the Caribbean and Venezuela; the return of “narco-terror” rhetoric; political forces driving Washington's approach to the region; where these developments fit within the longer history of U.S. intervention, sanctions, and militarized security; and what this all means for regional stability, migration, and U.S.–Latin America relations.

À la une aujourd'hui : douze photographies marquantes, choisies avec soin par la rédaction de Courrier International. Des images signées des photographes des agences AFP et Reuters, mais aussi du New York Times. La première, celle d'une « jeunesse en colère » prise dans les rues de la capitale du Népal, Katmandou, c'était le 8 septembre dernier. Une jeune femme, cheveux bruns, manifeste les yeux dans l'objectif, un regard en colère et un drapeau népalais derrière le dos. Selon Courrier International, cette photo « symbolise à elle seule la révolte de la génération Z, qui aura marqué les esprits dans de très nombreux pays en 2025 (...) »  Donald Trump aura également marqué l'année 2025. Courrier International a choisi de publier une photo prise la veille de son investiture, le 19 janvier. On y voit le milliardaire républicain rejoindre sur scène le groupe Village People pour une danse pour le moins surprenante. « Depuis, le très disco “YMCA”, longtemps hymne de la communauté gay (même si le groupe s'en défend aujourd'hui), est devenu la bande-son officielle de toutes les sorties de Donald Trump. » explique la légende de la photo. Beaucoup de conflits représentés La guerre en Ukraine a aussi marqué l'année avec une photographie prise à Soumy, ville du nord-est du pays, le 13 avril 2025. « L'Ukraine sous pression » peut-on lire en titre. On y voit un soldat ukrainien épuisé, assis sur des débris, la main tenant sa tête changée à jamais par la guerre. « Le dimanche des Rameaux, deux missiles balistiques ont frappé le centre de Soumy, faisant 34 morts et 80 blessé » explique la légende. C'est l'une des attaques russes les plus meurtrières de l'année. « Gaza, un champ de ruines » est le titre donné à un autre cliché. Sur la photographie on voit un ciel bleu qui contraste avec des bâtiments gris et abîmés. L'un d'eux est en train de tomber, disparaître… avalé par une fumée noire et une poussière opaque. La scène se passe en septembre dernier, dans « le quartier de Tel Al-Hawa, dans le sud-est de la ville de Gaza, (...) après un nouveau bombardement israélien. » explique la légende. « Depuis, les armes se sont tues dans l'enclave palestinienne, mais la trêve reste fragile en attendant le lancement de la phase 2 du plan de Trump, qui prévoit notamment le désarmement du Hamas et le retrait de [l'armée israélienne]. » Le Soudan aussi est représenté par une photo marquante : celle d'un Khartoum défiguré. Sur ce cliché pris le 28 mars 2025, on y voit un soldat soudanais faisant sa prière devant un véhicule blindé incendié. « Cette guerre qui échappe aux radars de l'actualité et qui oppose, depuis avril 2023, les paramilitaires des Forces de soutien rapide (FSR) du général Mohamed Hamdane Daglo, dit « Hemeti », aux forces armées soudanaises (FAS), dirigées par le général Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan ». La légende de la photo rappelle que c'est « une guerre qui « provoque “la pire crise humanitaire et de déplacement au monde”, selon l'ONU. Près de 13 millions de personnes ont été déplacées, les maladies se propagent et la famine, confirmée dans dix régions, s'étend. »  Une autre photo, sélectionnée par Courrier international : deux femmes au regard épuisé, les mains autour de leurs enfants dans un bus pour fuir Goma – capitale du Nord Kivu dans l'Est de la RDC. Le cliché est pris « À la frontière, entre la République démocratique du Congo et le Rwanda, le 19 mai 2025. » Ce bus est « affrété par le Haut-Commissariat des Nations unies pour les réfugiés [et] rapatrie des civils rwandais qui fuient les combats autour de Goma, où les rebelles du M23, soutenus par Kigali, font régner la terreur. » Courrier International recontextualise dans la légende : le 4 décembre, le président congolais, Félix Tshisekedi, et son homologue rwandais, Paul Kagame, ont signé à Washington un accord de paix très fragile. Et de fait, moins d'une semaine après, Uvira, deuxième grande ville du Sud-Kivu, tombe face à la pression du M23.  « Au moins 10 000 réfugiés affluent vers le Burundi pour fuir les combats, selon le site burundais “Iwacu”. » Haïti, les manifestations de l'opposition en Turquie sont aussi représentées dans la sélection de photos 2025 de Courrier international. Sur une note un peu plus légère et sportive, on retrouvera aussi du bleu, du blanc, du rouge sur les Champs-Élysées… C'était le 1er juin 2025 avec « le sacre européen des joueurs du Paris Saint-Germain, qui défilent en bus pour présenter leur trophée à leurs supporteurs. La veille, les joueurs de Luis Enrique ont écrasé l'Inter de Milan en finale de la Ligue des champions (5-0), à Munich. Un titre après lequel le club de la capitale courait depuis des années. »  Paris, capitale des espions ? Cette semaine dans l'Express on nous explique pourquoi Paris est surnommée la « capitale des espions ». Il faut dire que le folklore et la culture parisiennes ont été parfaitement intégrés par les services de renseignements du monde entier. On parle par exemple « de la diplomatie des grands hôtels ». Ces palaces parisiens où se déroulent souvent des discussions secrètes, notamment sur la guerre à Gaza. « Les services de renseignements ont intégré les charmes de Paris dans leur programme : tant à la DGSE qu'à la DGSI. (…) Le bateau-mouche, un « grand classique » sourit un ex-agent secret. » La cuisine française plaît aussi beaucoup aux agents des renseignements. Interrogé par l'Express, un ex-patron de la DST confie : « Les espions sont comme tout le monde, ils aiment la gastronomie. Ils ont souvent une préférence pour la cuisine française à l'ancienne. Après ça ils coopèrent tous. » Sur le plan pratique, certaines stations de métro comme La Motte-Picquet Grenell, dans le 15e arrondissement, sont particulièrement appréciées, car elles possèdent beaucoup d'entrées et de sorties, c'est qui est plus simple pour disparaître quand on est suivi, raconte un ancien agent de la CIA. Rivalisation avec d'autres capitales Comment expliquer cet attrait pour Paris chez les espions ? Parmi les raisons exposées, il y a la position géographique de la capitale. Paris est un lieu de choix pour les rendez-vous clandestins : « Si vos sources sont au Moyen-Orient ou en Afrique, leur connexion naturelle vers le reste du monde passe toujours par la France », peut-on lire. Paris rivaliserait à la fois « avec Vienne pour le fortement entre l'Ouest et l'Est, avec Genève pour les tractations dans les palaces, avec Bruxelles pour le renseignement politique et même avec New York L'Unesco est « une couverture de rêve », raconte L'Express. Le magazine explique que l'organisation internationale culturelle basée à Paris abrite de nombreux agents secrets opérant au nez et à la barbe du contre-espionnage français. Toutes les institutions internationales connaissent ce phénomène d'espionnage car « elles facilitent des procédures d'accréditation spécifique. » Par ailleurs, la culture « ça permet d'aller partout, personne ne vérifie ce que vous faites, vous avez du temps libre » raconte un ancien coordonnateur adjoint du renseignement de l'Élysée.  Tout ça est digne d'un roman d'espionnage.

Today US President Donald Trump will meet President Volodymr Zelenskyi in Florida to discuss a newly refined 20-point plan covering security guarantees, territory in the Donbas, and the future of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

VOV1 - Tổng thư ký NATO Mark Rutte đã bác bỏ những lời kêu gọi từ một số nhà lãnh đạo châu Âu cho rằng cần tách rời về mặt quân sự khỏi Mỹ, nhấn mạnh Washington vẫn là một đối tác an ninh đáng tin cậy bất chấp những nghi ngờ ngày càng tăng trong nội bộ EU.Ông Mark Rutte cho rằng châu Âu phải gánh vác trách nhiệm lớn hơn đối với an ninh của mình, bao gồm cả việc tăng chi tiêu quốc phòng, nhưng nhấn mạnh điều này nên được thực hiện với sự hợp tác với Mỹ chứ không phải bên ngoài khuôn khổ xuyên Đại Tây Dương. Ông nhấn mạnh Mỹ sẽ tiếp tục tham gia quân sự ở châu Âu và cam kết với liên minh.Những phát biểu của Rutte nhằm phản hồi trực tiếp đối với những bình luận gần đây của một số lãnh đạo châu Âu đang lên tiếng mong muốn thoát ra khỏi sự ảnh hưởng của Mỹ dưới thời Tổng thống Trump, tìm kiếm sự tự chủ của EU trong các quyết định chung về an ninh trong tương lai.Cuộc trao đổi diễn ra trong bối cảnh nhiều ý kiến tranh luận trong nội bộ châu Âu về quyền tự chủ chiến lược khi EU tăng cường chi tiêu quốc phòng và chuẩn bị các biện pháp cho một môi trường địa chính trị gặp nhiều thách thức hơn. Trong khi nhiều nhà lãnh đạo đồng ý rằng châu Âu phải hành động nhiều hơn về mặt quân sự, Tổng thư ký NATO đã cảnh báo không nên coi nỗ lực này như một sự tách rời khỏi NATO. Ông cũng lưu ý phần lớn sức mạnh kinh tế và quân sự của liên minh quốc phòng vẫn nằm ngoài EU, trên hết là ở Mỹ, điều này khiến hợp tác xuyên Đại Tây Dương trở nên không thể thiếu trong bối cảnh hiện tại.Hải Đăng/VOV-PrahaTổng thư ký NATO Mark Rutte phát biểu trong một cuộc họp báo tại Ba Lan (Ảnh: Reuters)

An exciting collection of stories of change that most people don't usually hear from the bottom up, from the grassroots, about what's happening in East Asia. Spaces of Creative Resistance: Social Change Projects in Twenty-First-Century East Asia (Rutgers UP, 2025) brings together an exciting cross-regional interdisciplinary group of scholars, scholar activists, artists, and others for a collection that addresses the last two decades' hollowing out of social connections, socioeconomic income gaps, and general precarity of life in East Asian societies. Written by authors from China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, each chapter is focused on people making a difference together in socially sustainable ways, particularly in the areas of gender, labor, and environments - both built and natural. These projects all constitute acts of creative resistance to neoliberal development, and each act of creative resistance demonstrates how individuals and communities across East Asia are making new worlds and lifeways in the small and everyday. Taking on larger political and economic forces that affect their lives and communities, each project and group of individuals featured here is focused on making more liveable presents and more possible futures. Andrea Gevurtz Arai is a cultural anthropologist and Acting Assistant Professor in the Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington. She is the author of The Strange Child: Education and the Psychology of Patriotism in Recessionary Japan (2016), co-editor of Spaces of Possibility: Korea and Japan (2016) and Global Futures in East Asia (2013). Arai is completing a second book, The 3.11 Generation: Changing the Subjects of Gender, Labor and Environment in Trans-Local Japan and co-editing Ultra low birth societies in East Asia: Crisis Discourse and Collaborative Responses. Yadong Li is a socio-cultural anthropologist-in-training. He is registered as a PhD student at Tulane University.

Volodymyr Ishchenko, currently at the Institute for East European Studies, Freie Universität Berlin, discusses his latest book, Towards the Abyss: Ukraine from Maidan to War (Verso, 2024) and forthcoming paper “Post-Soviet vicious circle: revolution as a reproduction of a crisis of hegemony” (co-authored with Oleg Zhuravlev). Historicising how post-Soviet revolutions in Ukraine have functioned, Ishchenko considers how the 2014 Euromaidan revolution produced a weaker state whose fate, instead of being decided by Moscow, has been directed by Washington or Brussels. Delineating how the 2022 war is, in part, the culmination of Ukraine's history in relationship to Russia, where cross-national capital allied itself with the local professional middle classes and where anti-nationalist arguments clashed with the tendency to understand the war within the context of Ukraine's perceived colonial struggle, Ishchenko observes how these primordial, ethno-nationalist readings lend themselves to a larger teleology. Detailing how the war in 2022 becomes the culmination of this story, a sort of parable of the struggling, emerging nation, Ishchenko explores how the narrative construction of Ukrainian nationhood mirrors the creation of the nation-state, like many countries from the 19th century onward. He also interrogates the various theories that proffer origins of the war as being rooted in the Russia-NATO conflict, as maintained by Jeffrey Sachs and John Mearsheimer. Instead, Ishchenko considers an alternative reading of this history, positing that the war in Ukraine has little to do with the inclusion of Ukraine within NATO, nor is it about NATO's inclusion of neighbouring countries. Instead, Ishchenko contends that the 2022 war is a culmination of Russia's exclusion from the process and dialogues by and around NATO.

Even among the faithful, the Christmas season—and the life of Jesus—can take on new meaning at different moments in our lives. Our experiences have a way of giving us a fresh lens. But imagine trying to tell the story from the inside and adding layers and the many perspectives, conflicts, and politics surrounding Jesus and his disciples as they began to spread the gospel. Recently, FOX News Rundown's Lisa Brady spoke with Tarik Makarem, the British actor who portrays Jesus in Fox Nation's Jesus: Crown of Thorns, about the deeper context this version brings to the story, what he hopes season two offers viewers, and how stepping into this iconic role has changed him personally. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Tarik Makarem and let you hear more about in Fox Nation's Jesus: Crown of Thorns. Learn more about your ad choices.

President Trump's sweeping reshaping of American politics in 2025 fueled intense support and alarm alike, transformed the role of government and U.S. alliances, and laid the groundwork for a sharply polarized fight heading into the midterm elections. FOX News Radio political analyst & Editor-in-Chief of Jewish Insider, Josh Kraushaar joins to discuss the biggest political stories of 2025, including the future of President Trump and the MAGA movement, the state of the Democratic Party, President Trump's foreign policy achievements, and the early positioning of potential 2028 presidential candidates.  Plus, President Trump significantly changed the United States H-1B visa program by imposing a new $100,000 fee on new applicants as part of a broader overhaul aimed at curbing perceived abuse. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-Deremer explains why she believes the overhaul will help ‘protect' the American worker.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The independent 2018 Christian movie “I Can Only Imagine” performed far better than anyone could have imagined at it would bring in $17.1 million opening weekend and become one of the top performing faith films of all time totaling more than $80 million at the box office. And now a sequel to the hit movie, “I Can Only Imagine 2”, will be released in February of 2026. This new film is a part of the increasing interest in faith-based and family-orientated entertainment many Christians in the country want. FOX's Ryan Schmelz speaks with Andrew Erwin, Producer/Director/Co-Founder Kingdom Story Company and Co-Director of 'I Can Only Imagine 2', who says this sequel proves there is a growing demand for faith-based films that explore the deeper tenants of the Christian faith.

An exciting collection of stories of change that most people don't usually hear from the bottom up, from the grassroots, about what's happening in East Asia. Spaces of Creative Resistance: Social Change Projects in Twenty-First-Century East Asia (Rutgers UP, 2025) brings together an exciting cross-regional interdisciplinary group of scholars, scholar activists, artists, and others for a collection that addresses the last two decades' hollowing out of social connections, socioeconomic income gaps, and general precarity of life in East Asian societies. Written by authors from China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, each chapter is focused on people making a difference together in socially sustainable ways, particularly in the areas of gender, labor, and environments - both built and natural. These projects all constitute acts of creative resistance to neoliberal development, and each act of creative resistance demonstrates how individuals and communities across East Asia are making new worlds and lifeways in the small and everyday. Taking on larger political and economic forces that affect their lives and communities, each project and group of individuals featured here is focused on making more liveable presents and more possible futures. Andrea Gevurtz Arai is a cultural anthropologist and Acting Assistant Professor in the Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington. She is the author of The Strange Child: Education and the Psychology of Patriotism in Recessionary Japan (2016), co-editor of Spaces of Possibility: Korea and Japan (2016) and Global Futures in East Asia (2013). Arai is completing a second book, The 3.11 Generation: Changing the Subjects of Gender, Labor and Environment in Trans-Local Japan and co-editing Ultra low birth societies in East Asia: Crisis Discourse and Collaborative Responses. Yadong Li is a socio-cultural anthropologist-in-training. He is registered as a PhD student at Tulane University.

En Venezuela, al menos un centenar de personas fueron excarceladas tras haber sido detenidas durante las protestas surgidas tras las elecciones presidenciales de 2024. Estos comicios que otorgaron la reelección al presidente Nicolás Maduro, estuvieron marcados por denuncias de fraude y por arrestaciones arbitrarias.   Esta excarcelación, la más significativa en los últimos meses, ocurre en un contexto de creciente tensión entre Washington y Caracas, especialmente tras la incautación de petroleros en el Caribe por parte de Estados Unidos. Andreina Baduel, coordinadora del Comité por la Libertad de los Presos Políticos, comparte sus impresiones sobre esta excarcelación.  “Junto con organizaciones de derechos humanos, organismos internacionales y gobiernos del mundo, hemos hecho saber la necesidad de la excarcelación de presos políticos, porque tenemos perfectamente claro —nos ha tocado vivir situaciones de persecución durante más de 18 años, que incluso llevaron a la muerte de mi padre en prisión, bajo custodia del Estado— que, si no hay excarcelaciones y si no se brinda atención médica especializada y oportuna a los presos políticos, lamentablemente podemos enfrentarnos a nuevas muertes bajo custodia del Estado”, dice Andreina. En medio de las tensiones entre Estados Unidos y Venezuela, se han reportado denuncias sobre amenazas de ejecuciones extrajudiciales contra presos políticos. ¿Tiene alguna información sobre estas amenazas? "A raíz de todas estas acciones a nivel geopolítico, los presos políticos están siendo amenazados de que si llega a materializarse una acción de un gobierno extranjero, van a remeter en contra de sus vidas. Pero así como son amenazados los presos políticos, también somos amenazadas las víctimas secundarias, es decir, las familias que contenemos y que denunciamos. Mientras estamos hablando, aquí desde hace más de seis meses, yo tengo un apostamiento policial fuera de mi residencia que restringe mi movilidad, mi accionar, porque no he dejado denunciar el horror al que está siendo sometido mi hermano, sino que además tengo una labor importante en el comité. Una de las maneras de buscar quebrantar esas acciones, el régimen ha ido intensificando la persecución. Mi hermana, Márgaret Baduel, que además también es miembro activo del comité, ha sufrido dos atentados en su vehículo", añade. Andreina Baduel termina haciendo un llamado a la liberación inmediata e incondicional de todas las personas privadas de libertad por motivos políticos en Venezuela. Además, advierte que aún hay más de 900 detenidos en condiciones de horror en las diferentes carceles de todo el pais. 

"One of our team physicians published a study . . . about rates of suicide in student athletes, and it came from a database that was national, not just here at the University of Washington, and looked at a ten year period in what the suicide rate was . . . Not only was suicide the second leading cause of death in student athletes, the rate of suicide . . . doubled from the first ten years to the second ten years." The Unversity of Washington is working hard to provide suicide prevention and mental health training to it's students, because even the physically strong face mental difficulties. UW Athletics partnered with Forefront Suicide Prevention to pioneer one of the first athlete focused suicide prevention training programs in the country.  University of Washington football player, Paul Mencke Jr, volleyball players Elise Hani and Katy Wessels, and Director of Psychological studies, Dr. Kelly Schloredt, sat down with us to discuss this important athlete training that takes place off the field.

SubscribeBuy me a coffeeBen Shapiro just dismissed Israel's 1967 attack on the USS Liberty – where 34 American sailors were killed and 171 wounded – as basically “irrelevant” and “a mistake.” In this episode, we walk through the evidence he doesn't show you.​A US Navy intelligence ship. Multiple Israeli overflights that identified it as an American vessel. A giant US flag in clear weather. Life rafts shot in the water. Distress frequencies jammed in violation of international law.

Guests: Captain James Fanell (USN Ret.) and Bradley Thayer. Fanell and Thayer discuss the PLA's "Joint Sword 2024 Alpha" exercises, describing them as an "Anaconda strategy" designed to suffocate Taiwan following President Lai's inauguration. They argue that despite these overt threats, Washington remains trapped in a failed "engagement school" mindset, believing the PRC could be democratized through trade. Instead, they assert China has transformed U.S. institutions through elite capture, necessitating a shift to a confrontational strategy.

Patrick Bet-David, Tom Ellsworth, Vincent Oshana, and Adam Sosnick break down Trump's military strikes against ISIS targets in Nigeria, Israel's warning of an Iranian attack, and the ongoing release of over a million Jeffrey Epstein-related files that's roiling Washington.------

In the winter of 1776, things did not look good for the Continental Army.  Everything got off to a great start in 1775, but this year saw a series of defeats at the hands of the British.  Things were looking so bad that many Americans thought that the revolution was effectually over.  If Washington was to keep the revolution going, he needed a miracle.  He needed a Christmas miracle.  Learn about the Battle of Trenton and the Christmas attack that kept the revolution alive on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

It's the day after Christmas, and while the wrapping paper is still on the floor, Norm is already wondering about the one gift Cowboys fans didn't ask for: finishing the season 8-8-1.After questioning why the NFL insists on hijacking Christmas Day (nothing says “holiday spirit” like wall-to-wall broadcasts), Norm dives into a Cowboys win that somehow felt like every other Cowboys game. A fast start, long scoring droughts, penalty problems, defensive issues, and just enough competence to keep everyone arguing about whether this team is “close.”Dallas beats a battered Washington team, but not convincingly enough to feel good about it. Dak shines. The running game shows promise. Penalties pile up. The defense remains allergic to takeaways. And the big question lingers: if the offense is elite and the defense is awful… isn't .500 exactly where you'd expect to land?Norm breaks it all down with stats, context, and his usual brand of dry realism—then wraps things up with the truth Cowboys fans may not want to hear, but probably already know.Chapters00:00:00 - Merry Christmas… Now About That 8-8-1 Record00:01:24 - Can the NFL Leave Christmas Alone for One Day?00:01:57 - A Familiar Cowboys Script (This Time With a Win)00:02:32 - Fast Start, Then the Scoring Vanishes Again00:03:47 - Dallas Finally Bows Its Neck Late00:04:22 - Dominating the Stats, Confusing the Result00:05:04 - Six Sacks, Eleven Penalties, and Self-Inflicted Wounds00:06:27 - Takeaways?

El meridiano de Greenwich, una línea imaginaria que une los polos y pasa por el Real Observatorio de Greenwich en Londres, sirve como referencia para medir la longitud geográfica y establecer los husos horarios. Se fijó en 1884 durante la Conferencia Internacional del Meridiano. Se impuso a otros observatorios como el de París. El GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) fue el estándar internacional hasta su reemplazo por el UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), ya basado en relojes atómicos, aunque, eso sí, ambos están vinculados a este meridiano. La idea de fijar un meridiano principal data del siglo III a.C. cuando Eratóstenes de Cirene midió la circunferencia terrestre con una precisión notable. Observó las sombras que proyectaban los obeliscos en Asuán y en Alejandría en el mediodía del solsticio de verano y, tras hacer un experimento, demostró la esfericidad de la Tierra. Sobre ella trazó una cuadrícula imaginaria compuesta por paralelos y meridianos. La latitud es fácil de fijar. Se mide desde el Ecuador con líneas paralelas a distancias constantes. La longitud carece de una referencia natural y además los meridianos convergen en los polos por lo que se van estrechando. Eratóstenes fijó el primer meridiano y, a partir de él, cada cultura eligió su propio meridiano. Esto no importó demasiado hasta que comenzaron los viajes oceánicos de portugueses y españoles en el siglo XV. Pero calcular la longitud requería medir el tiempo de forma precisa, algo que no fue posible hasta bien entrado el siglo siglo XVIII. Fue un inglés llamado John Harrison quien resolvió el problema con un cronómetro marino de una precisión extraordinaria. La Revolución Industrial trajo nuevos ingenios como los barcos de vapor, los ferrocarriles y el telégrafo. Eso exigía una medida igual para todo el mundo. Y así es como delegados de 25 países se reunieron en Washington en 1884 para escoger el lugar de referencia para el meridiano cero. El elegido fue Greenwich por su observatorio, la tradición náutica británica y la pericia de sus cartógrafos. Francia se opuso y resistió hasta 1911. Durante esos años se referían al meridiano de Greenwich como "tiempo de París retrasado". Desde el meridiano cero se puede dividir la Tierra longitudinalmente con otras líneas imaginarias, las de los husos horarios. Pero ahí más que las matemáticas lo que ha terminado primando es la política. Cada país ha adaptado los husos a sus propias necesidades, de ahí que encontremos tantas anomalías, algunas realmente llamativas como el hecho de que un país tan extenso como China tenga el mismo horario, el de la capital, Pekín, que está en el extremo oriental del país. Algo similar sucede con la línea internacional de cambio de fecha, que oficialmente nunca se ha fijado. Discurre en torno al paralelo 180º en el centro del océano Pacífico, pero luego cada uno de los países de esa parte del mundo decide si prefiere estar en el hoy o en el mañana. El sistema de horarios y fechas tiene mucho de arbitrario, pero es funcional y ha conseguido que todos sepamos qué día y qué hora es en cualquier lugar del mundo.

After nearly four decades of negotiations, sanctions, summits, threats, and backdoor channels, the United States has failed to stop North Korea's nuclear program which now has the capability to strike American cities with weapons of mass destruction. In Fallout: The Inside Story of America's Failure to Disarm North Korea (Yale UP, 2025), Joel S. Wit explains why US efforts to contain North Korea have not worked and gives readers a front-row seat to the policy debates, diplomatic deals, and secret talks between Washington and Pyongyang. Wit, a former State Department official, takes readers to the front lines of nuclear negotiations and recounts how perilously close the United States and North Korea have come, on various occasions, to nuclear confrontation. Based on more than three hundred interviews with officials in Washington, Beijing, and Seoul, as well as with the author's contacts in Pyongyang, this book chronicles how six American presidents have approached the problem of North Korea.Wit points to Barack Obama and Donald Trump as the two presidents most responsible for the failure to halt North Korea's march to build a nuclear arsenal, since it was under their successive tenures that Pyongyang acquired the ability to threaten every city in North America. Wit also offers an unparalleled portrait of Kim Jong Un that refutes his caricature as impulsive and illogical. Like his father and his grandfather, Kim is a ruthless despot but also a canny and informed negotiator determined to secure his dictatorship's future by exploring diplomacy or, failing that, by building a nuclear arsenal.
