Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* I couldn't let Black History Month, go without acknowledging key Trump advisor and one of America's top racists, Tiki Torch Tucker Carlson.

Israel's Navy Is A Nuclear Power
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, * And it has nuclear weapons. *Key point: *A nuclear power. Israel’s navy is the smallest branch of the Israel Defense Forces. However, the need to protect Israel’s recently-established gas rigs in the Mediterranean against missile and terrorist attacks presents the Israeli navy with a profound challenge. In addition, the Israeli submarine fleet is of tremendous strategic importance—particularly regarding a possible Iranian military nuclear program. Thus, Israel’s navy plays a vital role for Jerusalem’s security. Almost 10,000 men and women serve ... more »
China's Military Is Stealing Its Way To Superpower Status
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * And America and Russia aren't happy. *Key point: *China’s state-run arms industries have acquired know-how by hook and crook, and occasionally churn out weapon systems that are entirely too similar to American designs to be a coincidence. As China’s military has grown, the country’s military-industrial complex has struggled to keep up with the pace of demands. An arms embargo put in place after the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre shut off the flow of weapons and technology transfers from the high-tech West to China. China’s state-run arms industries h... more »
Japan Builds Some of the World's Best Stealth Submarines
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * The Soryu is very capable. *Key point: *The combination of long-endurance stealth, sensors, and modern torpedoes and missiles makes the Soryu class an effective hunter-killer. The Second World War taught Japan valuable lessons. The first—don’t start wars—is an obvious conclusion that has been taken to heart. Other lessons were the result of the wartime Allied air and naval blockade of the country, which brought it to the brink of starvation. For Japan, poor in resources and arable land, to survive the next war, the air and sea lanes must stay open, a... more »

REUTERS/Al Drago] Nothing new under the sun... In an age of deepfakes and alternative facts, it can be tricky getting at the truth. But persuading others – or even yourself – what is true is not a challenge unique to the modern era. Even the ancient Greeks had to confront different realities. Take the story of Oedipus.

Donald Trump’s Middle East Peace Plan Would Be ‘Apartheid Made Permanent’
*Rachad Antonius* *Politics, Middle East* 'Deal of the century'? Nothing is further from a peace effort than the plan that Israel and the Donald Trump administration have concocted for Palestine. Previous American administrations have all been pro-Israel, and they’ve made every effort to circumvent international law. But previous U.S. administrations have never formally challenged international law, and they considered the West Bank and Gaza occupied territories. Support for Israel previously consisted of pressuring the Palestinian Authority, by buying it off if necessary, to g... more »

Covid-19 probably peaked in early February
From Monday on, the world markets have seen a new giga-hysterical reaction to a dozen of coronavirus deaths in Italy (out of 300 or so cases there), a reaction that has already exceeded 9/11 (if you add nearby days that probably have the same reason).

Meanwhile, the main Covid-19 statistics page shows a dramatic reduction in the new cases and deaths. When we started to cover this story in early 2020, I mentioned that the "doubling time" was comparable ... more »

Is Republican Oligarch Michael Bloomberg Different From A Hot Pile Of Dog Crap? You Tell Me
Last week, Vanessa Williamson of the Brookings Institute wrote about the political force of Bloomberg's tactical charity. Bloomberg gives far more than Trump, but with much the same self-serving motives. "In his quest for the Democratic presidential nomination," wrote Williamson, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has already spent nearly a quarter of a billion dollars, more than that of the major Democratic candidates *combined*. But, ironically, focusing on his immense campaign budget underrates the impact of Bloomberg’s money on his chances. Just as important is the... more »
