Turkey has been and should continue to be a vital member of NATO, but Erdo?an has responsibilities to live up to as well. Those include respecting human rights, not consorting with Putin, and not committing ethnic cleansing and war crimes against the Kurds. Unless and until he does these things, Erdo?an should not set foot inside the Oval Office again.

I am referring to the developments in one of Russia's richest polar regions, Yamal.

US President Donald Trump's administration wants to build a rules-based and democracy-led order in the Indo-Pacific, but seems to have no idea how. If it doesn't find the answer soon, and imbue its Asia policy with strategic heft, constraining Chinese aggression will only become more difficult.
