June 9: The Great Betrayal
"The great betrayal" comes at the end of today's blog. But let's start with an irving press column of June 6 which I should have commented on at the time. This is a commentary by a professor of economics at UNB. His name is Herb Emery. has appeared twice now, and he looks like a rising favourite of the irving press. His argument in his column is that New Brunswick needs to develop its natural resources. Interestingly, though, he mentions only fossil fuels which (what a coincidence) is that the irving press and the Conservative party is pushing. He seems to feel it's perfectly safe... more »
Is Trump a racist?
For the umpteenth time today I read that Trump is a racist. It's said constantly by Democrats, progressives and socialists. Let's find something he's said that is as racist as what Biden said about Obama back in 2007 ( "first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy"). Maybe you just call that patronizing, but really, the FIRST ARTICULATE African-American--where does that leave the rest of successful, educated black men? Has Trump said negative sexual things about Obama the way Jesse Jackson did? He said he'd like to cut his nuts off... more »

Security in Iraq in the first week of June 2018 remained largely the same as May. The new mean is around 50 incidents, which has happened 4 of the last 5 weeks.

In late 2017 Japan's cabinet made the critical decision to purchase two land-based missile facilities designed to shoot down incoming ballistic missiles. The system, known as Aegis Ashore, will protect the country from North Korean ballistic missiles and augment the country's ability to defend its airspace. But the system's usefulness doesn't stop there as Aegis could also protect the country—and American bases—from missiles fired from China. Japan has been living with the North Korean missile threat for decades. Just 450... more »

My Latest for American Citizens for Taiwan: Being Taiwanese, Being Chinese
*Yes, there is a balloon museum near this spot. Its reputation is inflated, however.* My latest for American Citizens for Taiwan: Being Taiwanese, Being Chinese. This analytical stance looks useful only because so many accept it, but it is an ideological construct. Its implicit and highly ideological assumption is that being Chinese means you are more sympathetic to political links to China, and further, that the two identities are zero-sum: to have more of one means to have less of the other. The authors of the piece, and many readers trained to think in this way, follow this chai... more »
Mark Easton has the answer
It's been much quieter on the Easton front than I expected this week, but Mark Easton's series of reports on Englishness continued on Thursday. There was a report on BBC One's *News at Ten *that night that took us straight back to four years ago, and that previous series of his on Englishness - the series where I felt he behaved much more like an advocate for regional devolution in England (especially for metropolitan mega-authorities and the like) and an opponent of 'English nationalist' calls for a devolved English parliament than an impartial reporter. This latest report on T... more »

DRDO SWATI Ends Artillery Dominance on Battlefield.
This type of capability has been obvious for years and has not been implemented mainly because it is not a priority when you have air dominance. If that is not the case, then this changes everything. What you need to know is that a fight between large conventional forces during the twentieth century was dominated by artillery. That meant that 70% of all casualties were caused by indirect fire. This means that all the training in the world was of no matter. Thus the willingness to send ill-trained boys into the line. After all battle instinct also matters. The point is that... more »
Strange wolf-like animal killed in Montana
I do think that the best bet here is that this is a dog-wolf hybrid. We have ample variation among our dog breeds to supply the rest and it does show us how breeding with wolves can produce a whole palette of oddities that can then be bred up into unique breeds of near wolves. I think we already knew that but had never wanted to do this. It also informs us that those oddities out there, or some of them could well be coyote or wolf-dog hybrids. This can produce a whole slew of variations not easily recognized. After a century and a half, there has been ample opportunity and... more »

Rwanda Is Poised To Play An Irreplaceable Role In Russia’s “Pivot To Africa”
Russia recognizes the reality that Rwanda is a military superpower in Central Africa and that it would surely play a decisive role in any forthcoming Congo War, which might also be why Lavrov was so eager to visit the country and find out what President Kagame discussed with Macron at the end of last month during a closed-door meeting in Paris that media reports suggested was about the developing Congo Crisis.

If war erupts with North Korea, then the U.S. military will have problems, according to a series of wargames conducted by the RAND Corporation. Invading North Korea to capture or destroy Kim Jong-un’s nuclear arsenal, or to knock out artillery batteries threatening Seoul, would overstretch and deplete American and South Korean forces. More ominously, this could also trigger Chinese military intervention. RAND focused on the ability of the U.S. military—and especially the U.S. Army, which sponsored the research—... more »

Why would he willingly submit to a dismal dressing down by Justin Trudeau and his finger-wagging troupe of green extremists? They wanted him squirming in his seat while they made him out to be the Great Global Ocean Killer. It was a set-piece of political theatre and Trump, the world’s now-acknowledged master of that genre, was having no part of it. Compared to all that, playing a 007-ish hero sipping Singapore Slings with Kim... more »
The Sig Sauer P-320 X-Carry: Super Gun or Paper Tiger?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, North America* We take a look. Sig Sauer’s new P-320 pistol is enjoying a considerable streak of publicity, in large part due to the U.S. Army’s adoption of the it as the service’s new handgun.

Nancy Pelosi Doesn't Know Who Her November Opponent Is-- A Republican To Her Right Or A Democrat On Her Left
Did you know that not every congressional race in California has been called yet. First place in each of the 53 districts has been determined and announced.

Will Pelosi's opponent, for example, be challenging her from the right or from the left. In her case it doesn't really matter. But in Jeff Denham's case... more »
