Ammunition supplies: it's a bit late . . .

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 16 hours ago
Most of us know George Santayana's famous dictum: "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it".

"Coronavirus Lockdown Saves, Damages Lives"

CoyotePrime at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 19 hours ago
*"Coronavirus Lockdown Saves, Damages Lives"* By Bill Bonner SAN MARTIN, ARGENTINA – "Yesterday, a gray pickup truck appeared at the kitchen door. “How did you get here?” we asked. “I drove across the river. It didn’t look so bad, so I just decided to try.” “It makes me feel a little sad,” said Elizabeth. “It was so nice being isolated… with only the footbridge.” *Crossing the Río Calchaquí.* Crossing the footbridge brought us to our own little refuge… where we could shelter at home without having to worry about the virus, neighbors, or the outside world. It was idyllic. Like happy i... more »

Iran Is Hoping Agility Can Beat America's Stealth Fighters

David Axe at The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, Middle East* The F-5 is old, but still capable in certain circumstances. *Key point: *If tensions turn into warfare, the factory-fresh F-35s could face an Iranian air force operating some of the oldest active fighters in the world. Amid escalating tensions between Iran and the United States, in part resulting from U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision unilaterally to withdraw the United States from the 2015 deal limiting Iran’s nuclear program, the U.S. armed forces have deployed a wide array of ships, planes and other weapons to the Middle East.

China's Air Force Is Being Held Back By Its Terrible Jet Engines

Robert Farley, J. Tyler Lovell at The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Robert Farley, J. Tyler Lovell* *Technology, Asia* What can Beijing do? *Key Point:* China could use its bourgeoning civilian jet industry as a springboard from which to derive military applications. The Chinese defense industrial base is infamous for its tendency to “borrow” from foreign designs, particularly in the aerospace industry. Almost the entirety of China’s modern fighter fleet have either borrowed liberally from or directly copied foreign models. The J-10 was reputedly based on the Israeli IAI Lavi and by extension the United States’ General Dynamics F-16; the J-11 i... more »

*Caleb Larson* *Technology, Middle East* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2012%3Anewsml_GM1E8131GFU01&share=true] Tehran can dream all it wants, as it won't happen. In 2018, Iran informed the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that it was planning to “construct naval nuclear propulsion in the future.” But could Iran feasibly manufacture a nuclear submarine? *The Exclusive Sub Club* The history of nuclear underwater propulsion began sixty-five years ago.

*Sebastien Roblin* *Technology, Americas* The problems just keep coming. *Key Point:* An F-35 pilot might still choose to exceed afterburner limits during an urgent combat scenario, accepting the risk... After eighteen years of troubled and controversial development, the Lockheed F-35 Lightning stealth fighter may soon enter mass production, many of its bugs having been expensively squashed after delivery of an initial four-hundred “low-rate-of-initial-production” aircraft.

These Clunkers Prove That Not Everyone Needs Aircraft Carriers

David Axe at The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, * Not everyone can build them. *Key Point*: For every well-built carrier, there are many more that have failed. Imposing, flexible, able to sail fast and launch devastating air strikes at long range, aircraft carriers are the ultimate expression of national power. And many of the world’s best-armed countries are acquiring them. China, Russia, India, Brazil, the U.K., France, America. But just getting your hands on a flattop is hardly enough. For every example of a country that succeeds in deploying a functional carrier and matching air wing, there’s a cou... more »

Protest movements across the Middle East and North Africa, from Algeria to Lebanon and Iraq, have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The fear of the virus' spread has deterred these movements from organizing in the streets more than the intermittent threat of crackdowns by security forces even though these were especially violent in Iraq.

Imagination Is More Important Than Knowledge paper

You need to recognize that it might not be convenient to return things to a net-primarily based bookshop. That is why you will have to verify the ISBN selection of the e-book.

Broaching the dialogue about dishonest will be difficult due to the fact you do not want to accuse your child of dishonest.
