The Truth About the Philosophies of Reason
All “philosophies of reason” are aimed at endowing the ignorant, immature, and stupid with the feeling that they are men of great knowledge, experience, and intelligence—this is what the history of the last 250 years tells us. You can’t cross the road without using reason; you can’t tie your shoelaces without using reason; you can’t even tell a lie without using reason—to create a philosophy, any kind of philosophy, rational or irrational, intelligent or stupid, it is natural that you will require reason. The people who boast that their philosophy is the philosophy of reason are ei... more »
The Old Patton M60 Tank Keeps Getting Souped Up (And Deadlier Than Ever)
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * When will she retire? *The last U.S. M60s were operated by the Marine Corps, and finally saw heavy combat in the 1991 Gulf War in Kuwait, knocking out around 100 Iraqi tanks for the loss of a single Patton. However, that reflected the unequal training and tactics of the opposing sides more than anything else, and shortly afterwards the Patton was phased out of U.S. service.* Just how far can you soup up a tank from the 1960s? *(This first appeared **serveral** years ago.)* The M60 Patton was the mainstay of the U.S tank fleet in the 1960s and 19... more »
Random Thoughts About Life, Politics, And Humanity

The White House And The Taliban Are Telling Different Stories On Why The Camp David Meeting Was Cancelled
*Business Insider:* *Trump and the Taliban are telling wildly different stories about why he canceled a planned meeting at Camp David days before the 9/11 anniversary* * President Donald Trump said this weekend that he canceled a planned meeting with Taliban leaders at Camp David because of a recent Taliban attack that killed a US service member and several others in Afghanistan. * But the Taliban is telling a different story, saying the meeting was canceled because the insurgent group believed the US was trying to trick them into "political suicide," The New York Times reported. *... more »

The Poet: Mary Oliver, "Flare, Part 12"
* "Flare, Part 12"* "When loneliness comes stalking, go into the fields, consider the orderliness of the world. Notice something you have never noticed before, like the tambourine sound of the snow-cricket whose pale green body is no longer than your thumb. Stare hard at the hummingbird, in the summer rain, shaking the water-sparks from its wings. Let grief be your sister, she will whether or no. Rise up from the stump of sorrow, and be green also, like the diligent leaves. A lifetime isn't long enough for the beauty of this world and the responsibilities of your life. Scatter your ... more »

Japan's New Stealth Fighter: The YF-23 Black Widow II?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * As in the plane the U.S. Air Force said no to? *Three decades later, the Black Widow and Raptor may be pitted against each other in a second competition.* Japan has been seeking foreign partners to help develop an F-3 air-superiority oriented stealth fighter for its Air Self-Defense Force. The concept that has attracted by far the most public interest is Lockheed Martin’s proposal for a hybrid of the F-22 Raptor, the world’s top air warfare platform, and the newer F-35 Lightning II. However, some commentators believe the F-3 program could see a r... more »
To Win in Syria, America Must Rethink Its Kurdish Policy
*Giran Ozcan* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] A new strategy must address all the problems that the safe zone claims to solve at their roots. Last month, the United States and Turkey reached a temporary agreement on a proposed “safe zone” in Northeastern Syria, marking the latest installment in a pattern of threats and negotiations that has characterized the past several years of the two countries’ relations. While the United States appears to have staved off a unilateral Turkish military operation against the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) for the time being... more »
As America's Youth Becomes Enamored with Socialism, Norway's Youngest Party Puts its Faith in Capitalism
*Marcos da Rocha Carvalho* *Politics, Europe* [image: Reuters] The upcoming local elections will likely see the first ever electoral gains by the country’s young Capitalist Party, Liberalistene. The Scandinavian peninsula is often used as a common trope by the American left as ideal models of “socialist” countries. But as the appeal of Bernie Sanders’ brand of politics maintains a steady momentum on the campaign trail stateside, the upcoming elections in Norway suggest that a new tide may be turning for laissez-faire capitalism in a part of the world arguably mistakenly seen as a... more »
The End of the Wilsonian Century?
*Colin Dueck* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] It was the failures and frustrations of a Wilsonian framework that helped lead to the Trump phenomenon in the first place. One hundred years ago this fall, the U.S. Senate debated whether to enter into a new League of Nations championed by then-president Woodrow Wilson. In Wilson’s mind, the League was meant to be the capstone for American leadership of a liberal world order. Today, the Trump administration’s critics worry that the United States has become the leading opponent of that same liberal world order. But the administr... more »
The U.S. Military Needs a 'Rapid Deployment' Task Force
*Wallace C. Gregson* *Security, Americas* [image: Flickr / Official U.S. Navy Page] U.S. and Japanese forces should create a Standing Combined Maritime Joint Task Force as a platform and laboratory for rapid development of capabilities and capacity. World War I revealed the cost when military doctrine and organization fail to meet changing conditions. As is true now, war was thought unlikely in 1914. Globalized international trade was so successful that war was deemed unprofitable, and therefore unlikely. But a single assassination in Sarajevo triggered a massive and unexpected w... more »
Will a Re-Elected Donald Trump Withdraw the U.S. Military from South Korea?
*Robert E. Kelly* *Security, * Would he really do it? And would Moon actually welcome it? It is now pretty widely accepted that the United States and South Korea are drifting apart on the central security issues of Northeast Asia. Much of this is motivated by the unique leadership configuration of the two countries – an unconventional U.S. president prone to see U.S. allies as free-riders, coupled with a South Korean president deeply ambivalent about the U.S. role in South Korea. Their varying initiatives - sometimes coincidentally aligned, other times at cross-purposes – are p... more »

A Biden Nomination Would Be Worse Than Hillary's Was-- At Least She Wasn't Senile And Had Women Behind Her. Biden's Out Of It And He's Got Nothin'
Biden liked to cultivate an Uncle Joe image that he's largely given up on because of all the fondling of his young "nieces." And he's so senile and out of it that "Grandpa Joe" is far more appropriate now anyway. I'm not commenting on his age-- just his condition. And Biden's condition-- mental deterioration is what Fox and Hate Talk Radio focus on nonstop. It's their antidote to all the talk in main stream media about Trump's dementia and rapidly increasing mental deterioration. Amie Parnes looked at the who's more senile controversy for *The Hill* yesterday, a couple of days afte... more »
Litigation, a Mechanism to Ensure Justice and End Stigma for Hansen’s Disease
Global Issues News Headlines - 1 day ago
MANILA, Sep 08 (IPS) - Professor Ai Kurosaka remembers the day she first interacted with a person affected by Hansen's disease. It was 2003 and Kurosaka, then a graduate student of sociology at the Saitama University in Japan, had been assigned to interview ex-patients and their family members to document what kind of discrimination they faced. It was a very difficult task because nobody wanted to speak or identify themselves.
