Cult nation?

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 17 hours ago
I'm very familiar with religious cults, from a professional perspective (as a former pastor and chaplain) and from counseling those trapped in them, trying to help them break free. I've seen signs of cult-like behavior on the extremes of the American political spectrum, but I've never consciously equated the two fields. Now the Federalist makes the resemblance clear. Consider for a moment today’s culture, which is saturated with the constant agitation of political correctness. It rarely allows for any real discussion or debate without automatic vilification of those deemed politi... more »

Cyber Deterrence is an Oxymoron for Years to Come

Jyri Raitasalo at Test Feed Using Fields - 18 hours ago
*Jyri Raitasalo* *Security, * For cyber deterrence to make any sense for state actors, they need some concrete indicators of others’ offensive cyber capabilities. Thus, in order to develop even a rudimentary cyber deterrence framework, states need some lessons learned from the effects of “cyber weapons” and cyber war. For more than two decades after the end of the Cold War, Western states were able to redefine international security and associated rules related to the use of military force within the globalizing international system. During this period, between 1989/1991–2013, ma... more »

Well, what did you expect?

The brutal expansion of the NATO is very visible since 1999 and even expected if we are taking into consideration the final aims of the US' foreign policy in Eurasia framed by Zbigniew Brzezinski. As a consequence, the EU is going to continue to be America's main colonial partner in the NATO's preparations for the war of aggression against Russia and most probably at the same time China.

Why active Trench warfare in WW1?

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 20 hours ago
Excellent answer here. The real problem was lack of movement allowing any form of true tactical decision. That was only overcome with the advent of motorized tracked vehicles that could push through trench lines and barb wire as well. That is why the first 'tanks' looked so odd. They needed to block bullets and move forward and a machine gun was helpful. They also worked and ended trench warfare then and there as the dominate tactic. In fact the next serious episode of trench warfare only occurred again in Korea when political considerations locked the line and everyone knew ... more »

A pump jack operates at a well site leased by Devon Energy Production Co. near Guthrie, Oklahoma. Nick Oxford, Reuters *Julian Lee, World Oil/Bloomberg*: *The oil price is now controlled by just three men* NEW YORK CITY (Bloomberg) -- OPEC has lost what control of the oil market it ever had. The actions (or tweets) of three men — Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman — will determine the course of oil prices in 2019 and beyond. But of course they each want different things. While OPEC struggles to find common purpose, the U.S., Russia and ... more »

Meet the 5 Best .45 Caliber Handguns on the Planet

Kyle Mizokami at Test Feed Using Fields - 1 day ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Do you agree? *In reality, the Glock 21 is actually one of the best, and most affordable, .45 ACP pistols on the market.* The .45 Automatic Colt Pistol round, or .45 ACP as it is commonly known, is fairly controversial. Invented in 1905 by prolific firearms designer John Moses Browning, the .45 ACP was the standard caliber of the Colt M1911 pistol, and remains so to this day. A heavy, subsonic bullet, a typical .45 ACP weighs twice as much as the 9mm Luger round and delivers a third more energy. *(This first appeared several months ago.) * Today, ... more »

Check Out the Sig Sauer P226: The Navy SEALs Gun Being Replaced by Glock

*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Sig Sauer had a good quarter-century run arming America’s naval commandos, and now the torch is passed to Glock. *The P226 in SEAL service became known as the Mk. 25.

While the Army, the Marine Corps and even the rest of the Navy toted the Beretta M9 pistol, Navy SEALs carried an ... more »

Meet the Kel-Tec PMR-30: The Deadliest Handgun on Planet Earth?

Kyle Mizokami at Test Feed Using Fields - 1 day ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Here's all we know. *One major drawback for a .22 WMR gun is the ability for even novice shooters to repeatedly score hits on the target. Higher-caliber handguns generate significant amounts of recoil, making it difficult to hit the target with follow-up shots. A low-recoil gun makes it easier to plant more shots where you want them, opening up multiple wound channels.* The Kel-Tec PMR-30 is a rarity among handguns on the market today: a pistol with a magazine holding more than seventeen rounds. The PMR-30 actually holds thirty rounds and does so wi... more »
