Two Political Scientists Told Us Why the 2020 Elections Are Going to Be Rough
*Douglas J. Ahler* *Politics, * And how to overcome them. With animosity between party supporters already at an all-time high, buckle up for what promises to be one of the most contentious elections in modern U.S. history. But even in this combative, polarized climate, some of the dislike and distrust that citizens feel toward the other side may be misplaced. One source of animus across party lines is stereotyping. People think that both parties – but especially the other side – are far more socially homogeneous than they actually are. *Assuming the extremes* In 2018, my colle... more »
The F-35 Is More 'Flying Computer' Than Fighter Jet, And That's Changing How America Fights
*Kris Osborn* *Security, * While many developers cite significant challenges when it comes to software development and integration for the F-35, the fighter is widely regarded as a “flying computer.” *Key point: *In terms of weapons, Block IV will eventually enable the F-35 to fire cutting edge weapons systems such as the Small Diameter Bomb II and GBU-54 – both air dropped bombs able to destroy targets on the move. The Pentagon's F-35 is conducting attacks, surveillance operations and combat missions with an updated on-board “threat library” of Mission Data Files engineered to... more »
Alternate History: What If Hitler Didn't Survive World War I?
*Sebastien Roblin* *History, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2002%3Anewsml_PBEAHUKREDM&share=true] If only. *Key point:* Hitler fought in World War I and could have been killed, but was spared by a merciful British soldier. Oh, how history could have changed if he had fired his weapon. Legend has it that on September 28, 1918, a wounded Private Adolf Hitler lay in the sights of Henry Tandey, a British soldier who would receive the Victoria Cross for his daring actions in engagement in Marcoing, France. Tandey supposedly took pity on the... more »
In the Face of Violence and Pain, Why Are Women and Minorities Ignored?
*Anne P. DePrince, Jennifer M. Gómez* *Politics, United States* Here's why. The trial of media mogul Harvey Weinstein is “a test of sympathies” – and Weinstein wants yours. For months, he has presented his pain to us, granting a hospital-room interview to catalog his suffering and using a walker on his way in and out of the courthouse. His defense team has argued he deserves your sympathy. They asked the judge to let Weinstein’s surgeon testify to confirm their client is “hurt and enfeebled.” These requests for your compassion are reminders that sympathy is not automatic.

America's B-2 Bomber Is Old (But It Keeps Getting Deadlier)
*Kris Osborn* *Security, * Back in 2018, the Air Force dropped a B61-12 nuclear weapon (not armed) from a B-2 at Nellis AFB, marking a new developmental flight test phase for the upgraded bomb. *Key point:* By bringing an “earth-penetrating” component, the B61-12 vastly increases the target scope or envelope of attack. Back in 2018, the Air Force’s B-2 Stealth bomber test-dropped an upgraded, multi-function B61-12 nuclear bomb that improves accuracy, integrates various attack options into a single bomb and changes the strategic landscape with regard to nuclear weapons mission po... more »

*Harry J. Kazianis* *Technology, * How do these things still exist in the age of streaming services? Time to make them a thing of the past.

*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Middle East* Nuclear weapons. *Key point: *Israel's very own weapons of last resort. Israel has never officially admitted to possessing nuclear weapons. Unofficially, Tel Aviv wants everyone to know it has them, and doesn’t hesitate to make thinly-veiled references to its willingness to use them if confronted by an existential threat.

*"The Measure of a Life Well Lived: Henry Miller on Growing Old,* * the Perils of Success, **and the Secret of Remaining Young at Heart"* by Maria Popova "Henry Miller (December 26, 1891–June 7, 1980) wrote in reflecting on the art of living in 1939, “depends the failure or fruitfulness of it.” Over the course of his long life, Miller sought ceaselessly to orient himself toward maximal fruitfulness, from his creative discipline to his philosophical reflections to his exuberant irreverence.

"If the sun is shining, stand in it- yes, yes, yes. Happy times are great, but happy times pass- they have to- because time passes. The pursuit of happiness is more elusive; it is life-long, and it is not goal-centered. What you are pursuing is meaning- a meaningful life... There are times when it will go so wrong that you will be barely alive, and times when you realize that being barely alive, on your own terms, is better than living a bloated half-life on someone else's terms." - Jeanette Winterson

Snake-Oil Proposal: The Green Deal Is a Raw Deal for Europe
*Marko Horg, Ross Marchand* *economy, Europe* [image: Reuters] By taking part in the “Green Deal,” the European Central Bank would effectively act against its own mission to safeguard the financial stability and economic growth of the European Union.

Though Russia and China are now friends, even holding joint exercises, Russia's Sputnik News recently trotted out an article titled "Chinese Navy Short on Carrier-Based Fighters, Onl... more »
What If Modern Weapons Made the World's Navies Obsolete?
*James Holmes* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2011%3Anewsml_GM2E75C0K0W01&share=true] The unthinkable? *Key point:* Modern navies rely on aircraft carriers and submarines. However, these platforms are increasingly vulnerable to a wide-variety of new weapons. Are navies dying? An outlandish question. Which is why it’s worth asking. Bottom line up front: I doubt it.

Cold War Containment and the Middle East
*Paul R. Pillar* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] To treat the Middle East as a second coming of the USSR and make it a fixation of U.S. policy is an insult to the United States’ global stature and significance. The Cold War concept of containment has experienced a revival among some commentators who would like to apply it to the Middle East. The concept’s apparent attractions include a respected George Kennan pedigree, an association with what is considered a “win” of the Cold War, and the promise of long-term success even in the absence of any immediately visible posit... more »

Can the Army Build High-Powered Lasers to Wipe out Enemy Missiles?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2015%3Anewsml_GM1EB271ASE01&share=true] Time will tell. *Key point:* Laser weapons have long been the stuff of science fiction. However, realistic lasers that could shoot down enemy units or missiles are becoming real. After decades of being confined to experimental prototypes and Star Wars movies, laser weapons today are on the verge of entering wide-scale service, whether in the hands of infantry, mounted on trucks, armored vehicles, warships and even Air Force fighters. ... more »

Does Europe's Aster Missile Defense Beat out America's Patriot Missiles?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Technology, Europe* [image: Reuters] How do they stack up? *Key point:* Europe may be behind in higher-level missile defense, but its Aster system is actually similar to the Patriot missile battery. The question is whether European states can successfully build on that system. Ballistic missiles are making a comeback in the twenty-first century because they give countries like China, Iran, North Korea and Russia the ability to strike targets hundreds or thousands of miles away without having to expose vulnerable warplanes to interception. The precision allowe... more »
