Moscow Is Ready for a Nuclear War (As in Lots of Bunkers for the Population)
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Europe* In case World War III goes down. According to Russia’s Ministry of Emergency Situations, in the event of a nuclear attack on Moscow, there is space in underground facilities for all of the population. While this is a very bold claim, Moscow is famous for the massive amount of bunkers it has available for Civil Defense (гражданской обороны) and the military. The average Muscovite usually has an odd story or two about how bunkers have popped up in their daily life. But what types of bunkers are there? How protected are they? On the largest level, t... more »
Spain’s Billion-Dollar Ethanol-Powered S-80 Super-Submarines Are Too Big to Fit in their Docks
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Europe* [image: Flickr / Navantia Official] And won’t start out with key air-independent propulsion technology. On July 18, the Spanish newspaper El País reported that Spain’s four advanced S-80 submarines under construction had proven too big to fit in their docks at Cartagena. The naval base, located on the Mediterranean Sea in southeastern Spain, has been the home of the Spain’s submarine fleet since 1918, but its docks measure three meters shorter than the boats they will need to accommodate. This is only a minor by-blow in a protracted a series... more »

Third Way And The Republican Wing Of The Democratic Party Gears Up For War-- Against Bernie
A few days ago I went to a fundraiser for a congressional candidate here in L.A. One of the artists you see frequently here at *DWT*, Nancy Ohanian, donated a huge aluminum rendition of the Bernie Sanders characature you see above. It's spectacular and comes up to my chest. I offered to auction it with the proceeds going to the candidate, a super-duper progressive who, in fact, had endorsed Bernie in 2016. I got to the event early so I could set up.

Marine Litter: The Public Mistakenly Trusts Environmental Groups, And That Impedes Progress
Across Europe, 95 percent of people claim to have seen seen litter when they visited the coast - yet they say they don't litter. And they don't trust scientists, corporations or government to solve it, which leaves environmentalists who don't ever actually send people into the wilderness to clean up litter. Marine litter is a big deal thanks to environmental publicity but it is highly exaggerated - think mercury in salmon, alar on apples, floating barges of garbage, estrogen in drinking water and more to get an idea of how these issues get magnified. read more

Madness in Moscow
[image: undefined][image: undefined] Comedy? Disaster? Mental disorder? Hearing loss? Even days after President Donald Trump’s bizarre appearance in Moscow alongside a cool, composed President Vladimir Putin, it’s hard to tell what happened. But it certainly was entertaining. In case anyone in the universe missed this event, let me recap. Trump met in private with Putin, which drove bureaucrats on both sides crazy.

Stoicism and David Hume
David Hume, in a number of passages, suggests that stoic ideas are favorable for leading a virtuous life. In *An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding*, he says that a stoic (and epicurean) displays principles which are durable and have a beneficial impact on conduct and behavior. Here’s an excerpt: For here is the chief and most confounding objection to excessive scepticism, that no durable good can ever result from it; while it remains in its full force and vigour. We need only ask such a sceptic, *What his meaning is? And what he proposes by all these curious researches?* He is... more »
Science 2.0 Explains: How Water Exists In Two Different Forms At The Molecular Level
Everyone knows that water is a molecule in which a single oxygen atom is linked to two hydrogen atoms - H20. But the story of water gets a lot more scientifically interesting the deeper you go. Water actually exists in two different forms, called isomers, at the molecular level. They have almost identical physical properties, you can't tell the difference, but chemists can tell them apart by the relative orientation of the nuclear spins of the two hydrogen atoms. They are called *ortho-* or *para-water* depending on whether the spins are aligned in the same or opposite direction... more »

Hepatitis B In Africa Might Be Solved With A $20 Test
Sub-Saharan Africa has around 80 million people infected with hepatitis B, a liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus, but it infects around 250 million people worldwide. It can be a mild illness lasting a few weeks or a serious, lifelong condition. It is transmitted through blood and bodily fluids. An accurate diagnostic score that consists of inexpensive blood tests costing around $20 could help diagnose thousands of patients with hepatitis B in need of treatment in some of Africa's poorest regions, far more affordable than the $100-500 for current tests. read more

*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * [image: Screenshot. U.S. Air Force] Lasers, Drone Swarms, Artificial Intelligence, Sensor Fusion and Optionally-Manned. Oh my! The American development and deployment of Fifth-Generation stealth aircraft like the F-35 Lightning is one of the central stories of today’s security zeitgeist. But behind the scenes, several countries are already looking ahead to the design of a Sixth-Generation jet. The relentless pace of research is arguably driven less by combat experience—of which there is little—and more by a sober assessment that development of a s... more »

Police officer shoots injured bear cub in the middle of the road
The Greater Sudbury Police Service says it acted appropriately earlier this week when officers killed an injured bear cub. The cub was struck by a vehicle near the airport, but according to witnesses, he was moving about after the collision. "We saw something in the middle of the road that turned out to be a bear cub. Someone had hit it in their car and driven on and left him," Anne Chadwick said on Facebook. "Another car stopped at the same time as us and we helped get him to the side of the road to safety whilst I called 911 for help. It initially looked like he might have brok... more »
Why Climate Alarmists Are Not Really Interested in Humans or the Environment
Despite what you may have read from the Climate-Industrial Complex (CIC), especially their sympathizers in the mainstream press, burning fossil fuels helps everyone except the non-competitive renewable energy industry climate alarmists promote.

Cohl Furey understands neither field theory nor octonions
*Her mathematical masturbations are physically meaningless* Quanta Magazine's Natalie Wolchover wrote a cheesy celebration The Peculiar Math That Could Underlie the Laws of Nature of a would-be theory of everything by Ms Cohl Furey that is claimed to be based on the octonions \({\mathbb O}\). If you read it, the human part of the story as well as the spirit of the mathematics used for physics sounds virtually isomorphic to Garrett Lisi and his would-be theories of everything based on the exceptional group \(E_8\). So people are told about some ingenious outsider who has some very no... more »
La criminalización de los niños migrantes, la violación de los derechos como estrategia de control migratorio
21-Jul-2018 En el contexto de las políticas estadounidenses de “tolerancia cero” a la migración irregular, la separación de miles de familias y el confinamiento en centros de detención de cientos de niños migrantes forzados por parte del actual gobierno norteamericano y su presidente implica de facto la transgresión de diversos órdenes jurídicos (nacionales e internacionales). Por un lado, al estar encarcelados y aislados, se violan los siguientes derechos humanos de los niños migrantes: 1) a estar con sus familias y padres; 2) a estar en libertad y no ser tratados como criminales;... more »
What's Worse For The Republicans-- Trump's Russian Adventure Or His Trade War Against China?
Trumpanzee is furious about his DNI's interview with Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC. *Washington Post* reporters say that Trump enablers "were in an uproar" over the optics of Dan Coats' making a laughing stock out of a fake president who was in way, way over his head in his dealings with Putin. I assume he'll be even more angry if someone reads the Will Hurd (R-TX) OpEd in the *New York Times*, Trump Is Being Manipulated By Putin. What Should We Do? to him.

The AK-12 and AK-15: Russia's Latest Deadly Assault Rifles
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * [image: 5.45mm AK-12 rifle - Engineering technologies international forum. Wikimedia Commons] Better than the AK-47? The Russian armed forces serve eleven consecutive time zones, from Kaliningrad in the west to Khabarovsk in the far east. Moscow’s legions need a proven, capable assault rifle capable of performing under harsh environmental conditions, including snow, mud, and sand. The military’s latest assault rifles are a familiar sight: the AK-12 and AK-15 assault rifles are direct descendants of the legendary AK-47. The AK-47 was the brainchild of... more »

Russia's Next Big Military Sale: To Mexico?
*Michael Peck* *Security, * Could this really happen? Read on. Putin didn’t waste any time. Within days after Mexico canceled a $1.4 billion order for U.S. helicopters, Moscow swooped in for the sale. Mexico’s president-elect, Andres Mannuel Lopez Obrador, said the eight Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk helicopters, intended for the Mexican Navy, were too expensive. But Sputnik News, the Russian news site always lavish in praise of Russian weapons, helpfully offered some advice. “Are there more affordable alternatives with similar capabilities out there?” Sputnik asked, noting that the... more »

Is a Democratic 'Blue Wave' Really Coming?
*Nikolas K. Gvosdev* *Politics, Americas* Grass-roots frustration within the Democratic Party could lead to the Left's own version of a Trump phenomenon. Democrats are counting on a “Blue Wave” in the fall 2018 elections to return them to the majority, at least in the House of Representatives, and to pave the way for retaking control of the Executive Branch in the 2020 presidential election. For many card-carrying members of the Democratic foreign policy establishment in Washington, this offers the opportunity not only to reverse the steps taken by the Trump administration to dis... more »

The Poet: Wendell Berry, “Leavings”
*“Leavings”* “In time a man disappears from his lifelong fields, from the streams he has walked beside, from the woods where he sat and waited. Thinking of this, he seems to miss himself in those places as if always he has been there. But first he must disappear, and this he foresees with hope, with thanks. Let others come.” - Wendell Berry
