Midnight Meme Of The Day!

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 21 hours ago
*by Noah* Yep. As the meme says, he really did say that and, of course, the 2020 Republican Death Cult Con-Vention is upon us and we're already hearing much more of the same. Along with their usual NAZI words and Third Reich symblism, we can expect to hear little else from such a collection of grifters, con artists, and white supremacy goons. Here's the prelude to the uber fear-mongering quote in tonight's meme: If you want a vision of your life under Biden presidency think of the smoldering ruins in Minneapolis, the violent anarchy of Portland, the bloodstained sidewalks of Chi... more »

Is The F-5E Tiger II Or Soviet MiG-21 Superior? Here's What The Iran-Iraq War Has To Say

Robert Beckhusen at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, Middle East* It became obvious that both the F-5E and the MiG-21 lacked the advanced sensors, weapons and electronic countermeasures necessary for survival over a battlefield saturated with massive volumes of anti-aircraft weaponry. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* As far as is currently known, the Iran-Iraq War thus ended without a clear winner in this duel. Four each F-5Es and MiG-21s were destroyed. There have been countless discussions over which is the better fighter jet— the U.S.-made Northrop F-5E Tiger II or the Soviet MiG-21 Fishbed.

An Asteroid is Headed for Earth (It's 2020, After All)

Jonti Horner at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Jonti Horner* *Astronomy, World* [image: Reuters] Even if Earth is in the crosshairs, though, there’s nothing to worry about. Social media around the world lit up over the weekend, discussing the possibility that an asteroid (known as 2018 VP₁) could crash into Earth on November 2. It seemed only fitting. What better way to round off a year that has seen catastrophic floods, explosions, fires, and storms – and, of course, a global pandemic? But you can rest easy. The asteroid does not pose a threat to life on Earth. Most likely, it will sail harmlessly past our planet. At wors... more »

"Challenge Trials" Could Speed COVID-19 Vaccine Production. Are They Ethical?

*Ben Bramble* *Health, World* [image: Reuters] To answer that question, ethicists must consider an equation involving risk, knowledge and need. The world urgently needs a vaccine for COVID-19. Only when a vaccine is approved and people are safe can countries fully end their lockdowns and resume normal life.

Federation Failure

Geoff at The Australian Climate Sceptics Blog - 1 day ago
* Opinion by Viv Forbes* *Australian* *Climate Sceptics Blog* *Please feel free to publish and circulate.* *25 August 2020* *Federation Failure* Federation in Australia gave three essential tasks to the central Government – maintenance of free trade between states, defence, and quarantine. But state borders are closed, defence is enfeebled by gender-agenda and poor equipment choices, and they have failed to protect us from foreign pests and viruses.

How the Syrian Civil War Smashed Germany's Famed Leopard 2 Tank

Sebastien Roblin at The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * Ankara had offered to release a German political prisoner in exchange for Germany upgrading the Turkish Army’s older-model Leopard 2A4 tank, which had proven embarrassingly vulnerable in combat. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *This was shockingly illustrated in December 2016 when evidence emerged that numerous Leopard 2s had been destroyed in intense fighting over ISIS-held Al-Bab—a fight that Turkish military leaders described as a “trauma,” according to *Der Spiegel*. A document published online listed ISIS as apparently having destroyed ten ... more »

Nazi Germany's Panzer Battalion 129 Gave Everything To Take Stalingrad

Robert Beckhusen at The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Robert Beckhusen* *History, Europe* But failed all the same. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *This is where Mark’s narrative begins to break down. It’s not his fault — it’s simply harder to keep track of what happened given the chaos. The shock of the Soviet attack was so severe, *Panzer-Abteiling 129* broke down as a cohesive fighting unit. The battalion’s surviving tanks, disorganized and disrupted, merged with other German formation as they fell farther back into the pocket. The* Panzer-Abteilung 129*, a tank battalion serving with the German 6th Army, fought its way into... more »

Warfare History Network at The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* Thirty-six days of hell. *Key Point*: Iwo Jima was one of the worst blood-lettings of World War II. “You know,” said Marine Maj. Gen. Clifton B. Cates to a war correspondent on the eve of Operation Detachment, the invasion of Iwo Jima, “if I knew the name of the man on the extreme right of the right-hand squad of the right-hand company of the right-hand battalion, I’d recommend him for a medal before we go in.” And for good reason. General Cates’s 4th Marine Division was tasked with conducting its fourth opposed amphibious landing on a h... more »

Hitler's Panzer Tank Plan To Stop The Soviet Union Totally Backfired

Warfare History Network at The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* The German leader became fixed on the need to protect the Hungarian oilfields from Red Army tank and rifle units that had encircled Budapest in late December 1944. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Hitler would have done well to heed Guderian’s advice to commit the Sixth Panzer Army to the defense of the Oder line to slow the Russian advance on Berlin. Georg Maier, deputy chief of staff for operations for the Sixth Panzer Army, offered a fitting summation of the failed offensive. “Time, pressure, poor weather, extremely difficult ter... more »

If China's Plan Succeeds, The USS Nimitz Aircraft Carrier Will Be On The Sea Floor

Kyle Mizokami at The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* More than twenty years ago, a military confrontation in East Asia pushed the United States and China uncomfortably close to conflict. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The Third Taiwan Crisis was a brutal lesson for a China that had long prepared to fight wars inside of its own borders. Still, the PLA Navy deserves credit for learning from the incident and now, twenty-two years later, it is quite possible that China could seriously damage or even sink an American carrier. More than twenty years ago, a military confrontation in East Asia pushed ... more »

Is Russia Developing an Unmanned Armata T-14 Tank?

Peter Suciu at The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, * [image: Reuters] One issue with any remote control vehicle is ensuring that distant operators are provided with “situational awareness” but in this case, the T-14 may have that covered. Does the Russian military have a personnel shortage? Is it an issue of trust, or does Russia simply desire to keep its soldiers out of harm’s way in a future conflict? Perhaps Russian Federation president Vladimir Putin doesn’t believe there is any danger from autonomous weapons, because this week there is news that the Russian military is exploring remote-controlled op... more »

Edward Chang at The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Edward Chang* *Security, * The 1982 mission was the largest ever American naval deployment to the Mediterranean. *Key Point*: It may be the Middle East, not Europe or the Asia-Pacific, where America and its allies will be faced with its most complex military challenge. As tensions escalated in the Middle East over the civil war in Syria, in April 2018 the United States deployed one of the largest naval forces to the region since the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
