The Iowa-Class Battleship Was Nearly Retrofitted to Carry Nukes
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Americas* Today the naval gunfire argument rages on. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The firepower of the battleships—and their destructive range—would have increased substantially. Trading one turret for 20 Harrier jets was a pretty good deal. Add the Tomahawks and their ability to strike with precision at a thousand miles and the improvements looked even better. In the early 1980s, four *Iowa**-class fast battleships* originally built during World War II—*Iowa*, *Missouri*, *New Jersey* and *Wisconsin—*were taken out of mothballs and returned to ...
Why No One Talks About Israel’s 200 Nuclear Weapons
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Middle East* Israel set off to join the nuclear club in the 1950s. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and general instability across the Middle East has ensured that Israel will likely remain the only nuclear-armed state in the region for the foreseeable future, but a collapse of the agreement or some new nuclear program could easily change that. In the meantime, Israel’s ultimate insurance policy isn’t going anywhere. In a private email leaked to the public in September of 2016, former secretary of state an...
During a Second Korean War, the DMZ Would Become a Sea of Fire
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* The Korean DMZ is almost certainly the most heavily armed place on Earth. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *In any cross-border attack, the longer it takes for the KPA to win, the more likely it is the United States and South Korea will prevail. An extended offensive means more time for the ROK military to call up reserves and, perhaps more importantly, more time for American air, ground and naval units to arrive and through their weight into the fight. The recent defection of a North Korean soldier across the demilitarized zone (DMZ) that sepa...
If Europe Went to War, Soviet Weapons Would Have Killed Millions
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Europe* The Soviet Union was one of the most powerful collections of states that ever existed. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The Soviet Union relied heavily on artillery during World War II. Towed artillery—particularly mortars—was inexpensive, easy to produce and had a powerful effect on the battlefield. The Soviet Union was one of the most powerful collections of states that ever existed. Born in the Russian Civil War, the Soviet Union boasted one of the strongest armies on Earth.

Pakistan is a Nuclear Catastrophe Waiting to Happen
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* It is clear that an arms-control agreement for the subcontinent is desperately needed. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Pakistani nuclear doctrine appears to be to deter what it considers an economically, politically and militarily stronger India. The nuclear standoff is exacerbated by the traditional animosity between the two countries, the several wars the two countries have fought, and events such as the 2008 terrorist attack on Mumbai, which were directed by Pakistan. Sandwiched between Iran, China, India and Afghanistan, Pakistan lives in...

She probably doesn't want to be cancelled
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 7 hours ago
I got an e-mail today from a woman whom I quoted about a Christian sorority of which she was a member in 2008. She had been checking on her on-line presence, as it is called, and asked me to remove her name from the blog. It's called being "cancelled." In this case, she's being pro-active. Maybe she's no longer a Christian, or has changed groups. The group has been involved in a discrimination case because they only accepted Christian women. Update: I looked her up and based on her resume of the last 11 years, it's a fair guess she is no longer a Christian. Advertising th...

Was my mother funny?
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 8 hours ago
We were big fans of the TV show Closer and the character Deputy police chief Brenda Leigh Johnson, so of course we watched Kera Sedgwick in the premiere of Call your Mother last night. Underwhelming and not even particularly funny. Maybe even boring? Did you watch it? Lately I've watched 3 older episodes of Mom, now in its 8th season. I keep waiting. How did that show make it past episode 3 in season one? I had a terrific mom, but she wasn't particularly funny. Or so I thought. I'm beginning to rethink that.
Reassessing the Carter Administration 40 Years Later

PDF Version A review of “His Very Best: Jimmy Carter, A Life” by Jonathan Alter (Simon & Schuster, September 2020) *** The first ever book-length biography of our 39th president, Jimmy Carter, is an illuminating and fascinating portrait of a much underappreciated man. Jonathan Alter’s “His Very Best: Jimmy Carter, A Life” makes a compelling case that Carter accomplished a great deal in his four years but that these successes have been lost in the recriminations over the Iran hostage crisis, Carter’s personality faults and the malaise that gripped America in the late 1970s.

Fresh off her little power tantrum and idiotic impeachment tirade, Pelosi is now feeling her oats on angering and removing all “possible threats” from any conservative members of her chamber. How is she showing her contempt and ire? Well unlike most government buildings, it appears the congressional chambers have been lagging behind in one area that almost every other government building has already developed — metal detector checkpoints. The chambers felt they were immune from the law I guess. Never the less just after the November 6 “infiltrated” demonstration set up was carried o...

*John Rossomando* *Politics, Americas* America needs a Defense Department led by people who live in the real world instead of wishful thinking and false narratives.

If there is a mid-term election in November 2022, we know of one vote that Marsha Blackburn will not be getting …. I am just going to rant for a minute. I have been thinking about the Senators voting to accept the electoral votes on January 6th 2021.

Cyber Command sailors stand watch in the Fleet Operations Center. ((U.S. Navy photo by Samuel Souvannason) The SolarWinds breach has kicked up a lot of dust. It’s thick, obscuring and deeply concerning. It’s also a long way from settling. But that hasn’t slowed the quick and steady drumbeat of postmortems declaring the shortcomings or outright failures of one aspect or another of the United States’s cybersecurity strategy and posture. To some degree this is understandable. In-crisis autopsies are not unusual in the cybersecurity business, and time is not an affordable luxury amid ...
