40 Years Ago, Vietnam Steamrolled the Genocidal Khmer Rouge of Cambodia in a Lightning War
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* The invasion brought an end to the Khmer Rouge’s monstrous genocide, but not to the war itself. The Khmer Rouge waged a bloody guerilla resistance war against the Vietnamese and their Cambodian allies, assisted by two more Western-aligned resistance group. The fall of Saigon by North Vietnamese forces on April 30, 1975, was preceded two weeks earlier by another Communist victory: the capture of Phnom Penh to the Khmer Rouge. Yet less than four years later, Vietnamese troops would engage in a second conquest—this time targeting its erstwhile al... more »
Hitler's Machine Gun: Was the MG42 the Best Gun of World War II?
*Warfare History Network* *Security, * [image: Wikimedia Commons] Nicknamed “Hitler’s Zipper,” the MG 42’s ominous and terrifying “ripping cloth report” announced to all the presence of the best machine gun available. *In 1943, the U.S. Army attemped to copy the MG 42. The design, called the T24 machine gun, was hampered by the introduction of provisions for it to fire the U.S. .30-06 cartridge. The gun’s performance was disappointing, and the project was abandoned.* The MG 42, possibly the best machine gun ever created, originated as a replacement for the German Army’s standard... more »

*How Things Do Change* Centuries ago, Europeans invaded the plague-emptied shell of the Americas, climbing aboard wooden ships with vast canvas sails and trusting the wind and the skill of sailors to take them from the lands they knew to what they called the New World.

How the F-5E “Tiger” Fighter Jet Keeps Getting Better (Despite Getting Older)
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Latin America* Brazil has some big plans for this old fighter plane. The F-5E “Tiger” is one of U.S. aerospace industry’s largest export successes. Designed as a budget lightweight fighter, the F-5E is still operated by many nations around the world despite the availability of more modern fighters. Its continued service is enabled by miniaturization of electronics, which allows for more powerful radars and more systems to be integrated into the same spaces as the original system. This approach is exemplified by the F-5EM operated by Brazil, one of the mo... more »

DNA: cranks fully expel James Watson from his lab
Genetics used to be banned in the Soviet Union up to the mid 1960s. A crackpot named Trofim Lysenko proposed alternative, superstitious methods to increase the yields in agriculture (basically some reeducation camps for crops – contemporary cultural Marxists would approve Lysenko's methods because they were also all about "nurturing") and he became a darling of an influential local mass killer named Joseph Stalin. That man therefore banned genetics – the discipline established by Czechia's German Gregor Mendel – and all scientific methods in agriculture. It was before the DNA was d... more »
