You're Delusional If You Think Trump Has A Patriotic Bone In His Body
One of the things the newest survey by YouGov for *The Economist* looked at is how American voters perceive Trump personally. Most of it made sense. Just 33%-- his base basically-- see him as either outstanding or above average. 49% see him as poor (40%) or below average (9%). A majority of voters say his regime isn’t transparent and that Trump himself does not set a high moral standard. A large plurality say he uses his office to enrich family and friends and 53% view him unfavorably while just 40% have a favorable opinion of him. Most of his allies are mostly viewed negatively o... more »

The 5 Best Guns and Rifles for Target Shooting on the Planet
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Let the debate begin. If the old phrase “only accurate guns are interesting” is true, then target pistols are the most interesting guns of all. Target pistols are highly specialized guns that have only one overriding requirement: accuracy. Weight, concealability, energy on target, and other factors useful in judging most guns go out the window. Unlike other guns, for example, it can be very useful for a target gun to be very heavy, resulting in a weapon that is impractical for everyday use but a rock-solid shooting platform. Here are five typical tar... more »
The Repair Bill for Russia's Aircraft Carrier: $1.5 Billion?
*Michael Peck* *Security, Europe* It is even worth fixing at this point? The price tag for repairing Russia’s only aircraft carrier keep growing. The cost to repair damage from the December 12, 2019, fire may be 95 billion rubles (US$1.5 billion), according to Russian business newspaper Kommersant, citing an unnamed source in the Northern Fleet. “This is not only about damage to the structures of the aircraft carrier, but also about damaged repair equipment and failed military and civilian specialists due to injuries,” the source said. The fire occurred when a cable was set abla... more »
5 Reasons No One Can Beat the U.S. Army in a War
*Michael Peck* *Security, * And put fear into its enemies. *Key point: *Today's U.S. Army can generate an astonishing amount of firepower When it comes to lethal weapons, the U.S. Army has no shortage. Some may be too expensive, some too complex and others may be desired by politicians and defense contractors, but not the troops on the field. Nonetheless, today's U.S. Army can generate an astonishing amount of firepower and deliver it in a variety of settings from small-war counterinsurgency to big-war mechanized combat. With that in mind, here are five of the best U.S. Army we... more »
Sig Sauer P320: The Only Gun Better Than a Glock?

Like .45 Caliber Handguns? These Are The Best Of The Best
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * The list you need. *Key point: *Today, advances in bullet technology means a 9mm round can deliver as much energy as the .45 ACP. 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. Today, advances in bullet technology means a 9... more »
Back in 2017, Did A Russian-Made Missile Hit An Israeli F-35?
*Michael Peck* *Security, * What would that mean for America? *Key point: *Given that the U.S. and Israeli air forces are among the most active in the world, sooner or later the F-35 will really, truly see combat. Did a Russian anti-aircraft missile hit one of Israel’s new F-35 stealth fighters a few years ago? Pro-Russian media claimed that an Israeli F-35I was hit and damaged by a Russian-made S-200 surface-to-air missile during an Israeli air strike in Syria earlier this month. Israel says one of its F-35s was damaged—after colliding with a bird. The story begins on October... more »

Ian Lavery Should Not Stand
There's a petition doing the rounds asking Ian Lavery, chair of the Labour Party, to put his name forward to succeed Jeremy Corbyn. Politically speaking, you might ask, why not? Unlike some would-be contenders, Ian stood by Corbyn when the parliamentary party came for him and, crucially, he rebelled against the whip imposed by Harriet Harman to abstain on Tory welfare cuts back in 2015. Adding to his appeal, for some, is his sounding of the warning against the party adopting the second referendum as its Brexit position. Though, as we have seen, sticking with the 2017 position would... more »

The U.S. Military Nearly Had A Machine Gun That Could Fire 12,000 Rounds Per Minute
*Joseph Trevithick* *Technology, * Meet the Microgun. *Key point: *In 2011, General Dynamics finally stopped pitching the gun on its Website. After four decades, no one had purchased any significant number of Microguns. General Electric’s armament division struck it big when it brought Gatling guns back in the late 1950s. The company hoped it could sell different models for almost every conceivable mission. So less than a decade after introducing the iconic Minigun, the Vermont-based defense contractor developed yet another multiple-barrel light machine gun. The designers expec... more »

Nasa building supersonic plane that goes as fast as Concorde – without the sound
Interesting. This could well make Concorde like trips feasible and even commonplace. It does matter to be able to land in as many airports as possible. This should have been addressed a long time ago. I reasonably had assumed that such efforts must have long since failed, but it looks like all assumed it was impossible. Now we have a quiet bird that is plausibly a couple years away from been commercial. Throw in Elon Musk's giant stainless steel rocket and the future of point to point transportation becomes bright indeed. All good. *Nasa building supersonic plane that g... more »

Could DNA-based dating rewrite the laws of attraction?
Good luck on all this. We naturally want to hybridize by matching up with dissimilar genetics. The real question is whether or not we can produce mutually superior children and that may well be enhanced with fairly similar genetic histories, such as Irish marrying Irish. The real problem is that cultures do need to generally match up. Throw in the problem of psycho development issues and you get to the nub of the general problem. Psycho development needs to be formerly addressed, plausibly in our school system and early adult. Way too many damaged individuals out there and ... more »

My grandma is... an old environmental pig?
Just like in the 1930s when the German Nazis were getting increasingly self-confident and brutal in their behavior, many of us in Czechia are increasingly worried about the evolution of the public mood in West Germany and other countries in the geographic West. We are watching these developments from the perspective of our relative – perhaps temporary – safety. The Czech President Mr Miloš Zeman dedicated most of his traditional annual Christmas speech to the climate hysteria. He labeled himself a climate heretic, mentioned the climate change in recent billions of years, and recomme... more »

The F-8 Crusader Almost Became The Navy's Top Cold War Fighter (Here's Why It Didn't)
*Michael Peck* *Security, * The Navy ultimately chose the F-4 Phantom as its carrier-based fighter. Why? *Key point: *The F-4 was so remarkably adaptable and tough that the last U.S. military Phantom wasn't retired until December 2016. Had things gone differently, the U.S. Navy's top Cold War fighter jet could have been the F-8 Crusader instead of the F-4 Phantom. But not the legendary Crusader that bested MiGs over North Vietnam. Instead, it would have been the XF8U-3, dubbed the Crusader III or the “Super Crusader,” a bigger, badder version of the F8U Crusader that the Navy fl... more »
This Is How America's F-22 Raptors Would Take On China's Air Force
*David Axe* *Security, Asia* Who would win? *Key point:* It's an innovation born of necessity. The U.S. Air Force is rewriting its war plan for the Pacific, the flying branch's new commander for the region told reporters at the Pentagon in late November. Gen. Charles Brown, commander of Pacific Air Forces, said he wants smaller groups of U.S. warplanes to rapidly move between bases in order to frustrate an adversary, and to do so while the enemy -- that is, China -- is jamming American communications. "How do we move small packages around pretty quickly to complicate things fo... more »
The Essex-Class Aircraft Carrier May Be Retired, But It Was The Best Of Its Generation
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * A true champion of U.S. naval power. *Key point: *The decades of operational service provided by the venerable carriers testified both to the robustness of their design, and their effectiveness as platforms of the U.S. naval power. Perhaps no vessel embodies the U.S. Navy’s embrace of the aircraft carrier as the centerpiece of its strategy as the *Essex*-class carrier. Between 1943 and 1950, twenty-four of the thirty-thousand-ton carriers were built at shipyards in Newport News, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Norfolk and Braintree—some completed in as fe... more »

The same week that U.S. Air Force F-35A stealth fighters *dropped their first bombs in combat*, F-35s from the same Utah base took part in a sprawling aerial war game involving dozens of warplanes flying more than 100 missions. The exercise over Hill Air Force Base underscored the growing role of the F-35 in USAF training and operations. Despite the new fighter’s low ... more »
