U.S. CORONAVIRUS POLICY IS IN THE HANDS OF TRUMP'S AGING BUSINESS CRONIES
Many people in the federal government seem to be taking the coronavirus outbreak seriously. And then, as CNN tells us, there's the guy at the top: President Donald Trump is receiving a steady stream of sometimes-conflicting information about the ongoing coronavirus outbreak that some aides worry is dampening his ability to effectively communicate the realities and risks of the epidemic. Some of the information Trump is receiving is viewed by his team as qualified and some of it appears designed to downplay the global crisis, people familiar with the matter said.

If things had gone differently, America and the Soviet Union would have wiped each other out.

Game Changer: What If The Navy Launched Stealth Bombers From Aircraft Carriers?
*TNI Staff* *Security, * It tried it before. *Key point: *A modern incarnation of a manned carrier-based long-range penetrating strike aircraft might be a solution to the Navy’s range problem. During the closing stages of the Cold War, the United States Navy was developing a new long-range stealth bomber that could strike at even the most heavily defended targets from the deck of an aircraft carrier. But the ill-fated program was cancelled; leaving a gap in naval aviation capability that has not been filled to this day. Called the McDonnell Douglas/General Dynamics A-12 Avenge... more »
America's F-22 Raptor Is Powerful, But Could It Beat The F-23 Stealth Fighter?
*TNI Staff* *Security, * The final operational version of the F-23 would have offered much better range than the Raptor. *Key point:* The Air Force ended up with an excellent plane with the Raptor—but both the YF-22 and YF-23 were outstanding designs. In 1991, Lockheed won the Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) competition and went on to develop the stealthy world beating F-22 Raptor air superiority fighter. While in many ways, Northrop’s losing YF-23 was a *much better design*, but the U.S. Air Force chose the Lockheed aircraft because it believed that company would better manage... more »

*James Holmes* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Nonalignment remains a powerful strain in Indian foreign policy. Still, India and the United States have fashioned placeholders in case things take a drastic turn for the worse in South Asia—one that might prompt New Delhi to tilt toward Washington.

This Is Why Hitler's Air Force Was Such A Problem For The World War II Allies

Lysol, Clorox: With Coronavirus, The Public Has Abandoned Chemophobia
