This replacement occurred gradually, meaning Tomcats and Phantoms flew alongside each other for another decade. They also flew alongside each other in the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force.

*Pope to Visit Norks?* Pope Francis accepted a handwritten letter from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, delivered by President Moon Jae-in, on 18 October, inviting him to visit Pyongyang. North Korean communists are as anti-Christian as any people on earth. However, one of Kim Il-sung’s (few) friends was the late Reverend Billy Graham. Casting the chicken bones to see precisely how the whole North Korean situation will play out is something that many of us do - but that place is so messed up at every possible level that it's impossible to accurately forecast anything. *Screwed Up ... more »

Is the Pentagon planning to refurbish F-15Es, F-16s and F-18s just in case the F-35 doesn't work out as planned? That could be part of the impetus behind the Pentagon's long-range plan for U.S. airpower, according to an analysis by the Congressional Research Service (CRS).

Air War: China's J-15 Fighter vs. Russia's Su-33 (Which Is Better?)
*Charlie Gao* *Technology, Asia* [image: By Dmitry Terekhov, CC BY-SA 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=52243339] We take a look. Recently, Sputnik International put out a piece bashing the China’s based J-15 carrier-based fighter jet, describing it as having problems with its flight-control system. But the J-15 is itself a derivative of the Russian Su-33 Flanker. Is the Chinese jet really that inferior to the Russian one? Or are the problems shared, and the article an attempt to distract from the Russian fighter’s own failings? The beginning of the article be... more »
"It’s Okay to Feel Bad For No Reason"
*"It’s Okay to Feel Bad For No Reason"* by David Cain "From my teens through my early thirties, I spent a lot of family dinners trying to pretend I felt okay. It’s not that my family made me miserable, not at all. But throughout those years I just felt inexplicably bad some days, and I couldn’t duck out on plans with my family like I could with my friends, at least not without arousing concern. This feeling was characterized by pit in the stomach, elevated self-consciousness, and a strong urge to go home and get away from people. Not exactly despair, but a version the sort of wound... more »
New Evidence of Hacked Supermicro Hardware Found in U.S. Telecom
Obviously we have a serious problem with hardware and it goes both ways. The solution needs to be an internally secure supply line delivering at the best global price to prevent extortion. I think it can be done. That enforces a local supply chain in order to access the secure market. It may well be partially subsidized by low pricing offshore but that is too bad. It can be done. This will take time to sort out, but it adds to the list of charge backs we can apply to China. .. *New Evidence of Hacked Supermicro Hardware Found in U.S. Telecom* *The discovery shows that Ch... more »
A mushroom vaccine could save the honey bees

Quit eating bacon, ham and pork?
*[image: Image: Quit eating bacon, ham and pork?

NATO’s Upcoming 40,000-soldier Arctic Drill Is A Message To Russia And China
There’s a certain strategic logic inherent in the US flexing its muscles to show that it will still retain control over part of the Northern Sea Route in spite of Russia’s dominating position in the center of it. The point is to put pressure on China and get it to “compromise” with the US on a new trade deal.
