So far, so familiar. But Malukh is more than an independent-minded software entrepreneur. He’s an independent-minded software entrepreneur who lives in Siberia.

Since 1994 more than 40 software companies have sprung up in this town, which is 2,000 miles from Moscow, 20 miles south of Novosibirsk and sufficiently prominent in cyberspace to have earned the nickname of the “Silicon Taiga....

After an hour flight from Bahrain, we had just landed on the carrier in “The Cod”–an ancient propeller plane used to ferry visitors and mail.

Now the back of the plane opened wide and someone gestured to me and my seatmate, an AP reporter based in Indonesia with a craggy, distinguished look, to exit first....

During remarks to the press amid the destruction of Fort Myers, Florida, Biden discussed the natural disasters he has witnessed across the country over the past few months, including wildfires, flooding and historic droughts. “The one thing [the hurricane] has finally ended is the discussion about whether or not there’s climate change, and we should do something about it,” he said. Biden said the “historic, titanic and unimaginable” storm ripped Fort Myers to pieces....

“There is no way to get out of Afghanistan after 20 years easily. Not possible, no matter when you did it. I make no apologies for what I did,” Biden said. Amid the withdrawal, the Biden administration scrambled to evacuate troops and Afghan allies who aided the U.S. during its occupation. The U.S. evacuated somewhere between 13,000 to 18,000 people per day to meet the Aug. 31, 2021, withdrawal deadline....

We’re not going to pressure them one way or another,” Raimondo told an editorial board with Bloomberg reporters and editors on Thursday. “So if a company decides—as many have—that they want to make a statement against human rights abuses, then that would be great....

Running against Al Gore during the 2000 presidential campaign, George W. Bush promised to introduce a level of humility in how America did business around the world.

Donald Trump distinguished himself in the 2016 campaign as someone who would end the colossal waste of U....
