Is America’s TOW Anti-Tank Missile Keeping Up with Modern Technology?
*Charlie Gao* *TOW Missile, Americas* Despite its staying ahead of countermeasures, the design itself is getting dated. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *Despite its drawbacks, the TOW is a proven and reliable ATGM. The recent development and adoption of the radio-controlled TOW means that it’s likely to serve far into the future, even as armor-technology advances. America’s TOW anti-tank missile has been one of the most enduring anti-armor weapons in the U.S. Arsenal. First used to bust North Vietnamese tanks during the Vietnam war, the BGM-71 TOW has since served admirably ... read more
Will India Get Its Hands on F-35 Stealth Fighters?
*Kris Osborn* *Indian Military, Asia* It could be a game-changer for India's competition with China. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *A fifth-generation multirole fighter such as the F-35 jet might give India some kind of parity with China along the border region, a mountainous area filled with plateaus, valleys, and terrain less hospitable to any kind of major armored ground advance. The Pentagon and Lockheed Martin have in recent years been quickly expanding the number of international F-35 partners while also seeing a fast increase in global demand for the jet, an uptick i... read more
Japan Has Its Eyes On the Growing Threat From China
*Kris Osborn* *Japan Self-Defense Force, Asia* Japan is even thinking about changing its decades-old constitution to address the threat. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Japan’s military build-up raises a few interesting questions as to whether the country, now facing a growing and fast-changing threat environment, might actually revise its post-World War II 1947 Constitution, which currently denies the country’s right to employ military force, a move followed by the 1954 introduction of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. The U.S. military and Japanese Self Defense Forces have... read more
"This Thanksgiving Weekend Proved That America Is Now Living In A Very Dark New Reality"
*"This Thanksgiving Weekend Proved That America * *Is Now Living In A Very Dark New Reality"* by Michael Snyder "The entire narrative around “Black Friday” has completely changed. In the old days, I would write a column every year about the chaos that we would see at major retailers all over America as crazed consumers fought over deeply discounted merchandise. The fact that Americans would get so crazed over cheap trinkets made in China said a lot about where we were as a society, but there was also a side to Black Friday that was fun and exciting. It was a yearly ritual that milli... read more
Some Of President Biden's "Strategic" Oil Reserve Release Will Go To China And India
*FOX News:* *Oil reserves released by Biden expected to primarily go to China, India* *U.S. taps 50 million barrels of oil from reserves in an attempt to tamper spiking costs at the gas pump.* President Biden’s move to tap the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve is expected to supply Chinese and Indian oil needs as gas demands have led to global shortages, reports said Tuesday. The White House said the Department of Energy will release 50 million barrels of oil held in U.S. reserves — 18 million of which have already been congressionally approved for sale. China and India h... read more

Klaus Schwab strikes again at Davos
At the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) virtual Davos Agenda summit on Tuesday French President Emmanuel Macron concurred with globalist plan. The calls to reshape the economic order in the wake of the Chinese coronavirus were seconded by President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, who said: “We must learn from this crisis. We have to change the way we live and do business to be able to keep what we value and hold dear.” German Chancellor Angela Merkel took the opportunity to call for more globalism post-pandemic, saying that the coronavirus shows “how much we are i... read more

Why Don’t Korean Tankers Like the T-80U?
*Charlie Gao* *Tanks, Asia-Pacific* In a pure technical comparison, the T-80U lags behind the K1A1 and K1A2. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *The lack of modernization due to the foreign nature of the parts for the tank and lack of will to “domesticize” a foreign design impeded the T-80U from being fully embraced by the South Korean military. One of the great ironies of the military balance in the Koreas is the fact that South Korea operates more advanced Russian tanks than North Korea. This situation came about in the 1990s after Russia inherited a $1.5 billion debt to South... read more
Battle of the Tanks: M-1 Abrams vs M-48
*David Axe* *M1 Abrams, Americas* Sprey also claimed a World War II destroyer with its torpedoes was a better surface combatant than a larger cruiser lacking torpedoes. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *It’s true that, at millions of dollars per copy, a new M-1 costs more in absolute terms than a new M-48 did 70 years ago. But it’s also true that the M-1 has an extensive, and successful, combat record stretching back to the 1991 Gulf War. Pierre Sprey was a member of the Pentagon team that, back in the 1970s, helped to write the requirements for the iconic A-10 attack plane. S... read more
How Does Singapore’s Military Stack Up Against Regional Threats?
*Charlie Gao* *Singapore, Asia-Pacific* One of the strongest arms of the Singaporean military is the Republic of Singapore Air Force. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *Overall, unlike their neighbors, Singapore has gone “all in” with Western tech. The common origins of their aircraft probably make resupply and maintenance easier. This trend looks to continue now that Singapore is looking into the F-35 as a replacement for their F-5Es. They also have the significant advantage of having AWACS aircraft, unlike their two closest neighbors. Despite its small geographical size, Sing... read more
Is the U.S. Air Force Purposely Shrinking its Fleet?
*David Axe* *U.S. Air Force, Americas* Arguably, the Air Force canceled the F-22 for nothing. It risks again making the same mistake. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* “We’ve all heard the rumors” about the B-1, Gunzinger said. If Gunzinger and Rehberg are correct in their assessment, cutting the B-1 fleet indeed will save money. But that money won’t ever result in the bomer force growing back to its current strength of around 160 airframes. To say nothing of expanding beyond that level. The U.S. Air Force is considering retiring older warplanes in order to save money for new ... read more

Darrell Tingley's letter in the Marxist Leninist Weekly
I found the letter Darrell Tingley had published in the April 5th 1998 edition of the Marxist Leninist Weekly as well as the letter he sent me in response to my concerns.

Darrell's letter was published right beside Jean-Claude Parrot's letter who was the President of CUPW before Darrell during the forced merger of the two Unions. JC Parrot was well respected. He went on to become the vice president of the Canadian Labour Congress from 1992 to 2001. I see that JC Parrot just re... read more

Here's How China Sees North Korea's Military Strategy
*Lyle J. Goldstein* *North Korea, Asia* What is needed now are not only strong deterrent measures, of course, but also an energized and creative “carrot diplomacy." *Here's What You Need To Remember: *For example, it could be useful to understand that conventional military power asymmetries may be a significant driver for Pyongyang’s nuclear push. Likewise, it is somewhat reassuring to see that Chinese strategists also interpret North Korea’s likely nuclear doctrine as rather defensive, and as a weapon of last resort. In this *Dragon Eye* column, I have long argued that North Kor... read more

Why do (Some) Originalists Hate America?
Imagine a regime whose fundamental law is only to be found in ancient archives. Their mysterious contents take years to unearth, layer by layer. With new discoveries, bodies of established law are unexpectedly invalidated and discarded. Others, previously rejected, spring back into life as the scholars revise earlier conclusions. The operations of government are in constant confusion. This state of affairs is likely to persist indefinitely. That doesn’t sound attractive, does it? But that is where a prominent strand of modern originalist constitutional theory would lead us. ... read more
