I Was Lucky To Have Gone To Afghanistan; The U.S. Wasn't
*Yours truly, in Morocco, 1969, just before setting out for Afghanistan (so sanpaku)* In 1969, the Hippie Trail from Europe to India went right through Afghanistan. I spent 2 years driving a VW van from London to India and back. I left Mashad in Iran, drove along a bumpy, unpaved truck road to the border crossing at Islam Q'ala and suddenly was in another century: Afghanistan. Herat was the first stop before Kandahar, Ghazni and then Kabul. I fell in love with the country and spent a lot of time there, both on the way to India and on the way back. I went off the beaten path and wen... more »

*A Conservative Definition of Diversity* *Conservatives have always believed in diversity. It is enforcing diversity and restricting diversity to racial diversity that conservatives object to. Some intellectual diversity on campus would be really great * Are conservatives against the campus diversity administrative machine or are they opposed to diversity itself? The argument in favor of the former seems like an easy one. Ever since debates over affirmative action heated up in the ‘60s and ‘70s, conservative groups and publications—this Center included—have marshalled an impress... more »

*Climate change is pumping our food full of carbs* *I last studied botany more than 50 years ago so I cannot tell if the reasoning below is right or not. But it sounds possible. The question to ask, however, is "So what?" If some of our food has a higher calorie count it hardly matters to us -- given the "obesity epidemic". We already eat to excess and calorie counting is an accepted way to counter that.But what about poor countries? Having more carbohydrates in their food should help them avoid hunger. So long live carbohydrates!I have lost contact with the latest d... more »

Saturday Snippet: more hazards on the trail
Following my recent heart attack, I've found my writing activities severely disrupted. Part of it is the sheer amount of time I have to spend on cardiac rehabilitation classes, seeing doctors, and other related activities. However, much of it is due to medication issues. I've been put on one of the most recent anticoagulant/blood-thinner medications, which is doubtless very effective at what it does, but also plain whups my butt! It leaves me breathless, dizzy (particularly when I stand up too quickly), and exhausted if I try to work too hard. (That may be intentional, for all... more »
Cheap AR-15s: Can They Compete with More Expensive Name Brands?
*Charlie Gao* *Technology, * Or are they a waste of time. The popularity of “budget” AR-15s has exploded in recent years. From offerings from established manufacturers like the S&W M&P 15 Sport and the Springfield Armory Saint to parts kits to offerings from upstart manufacturers in that niche like Anderson, Palmetto State Armory, and Aero Precision, there’s a dearth of options for those looking for a cheap AR-style rifle. But are these cheaper rifles as good as their more expensive counterparts? Companies like BCM, FN and Daniel Defense sell full rifles that cost almost two t... more »

*TNI Staff* *Security, * [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/RUSSIA-MILITARY--S1BETUGUAXAB.html] This will be relevant in 2020. *Key Point:* Iran can punch above its weight class. Are Iran and America headed for war? It could happen, but at least for now, President Trump has chosen a course of restraint, choosing more sanctions as his preferred course of actions in response to a likely missile and drone strike by Tehran against Saudi Arabian oil facilities.

*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Europe* [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/LATVIA-GERMANY--RC15F8A2E130.html] Their new stealth submarine is a gamechanger. *Key Point:* Germany's new submarine is as stealthy as any nuclear-powered sub. The German Navy was a pioneer in large-scale submarine warfare, its U-boats able to contest the United Kingdom’s superior navy in ways that German surface warships could not. While modern-day Germany no longer has the ocean-spanning naval ambitions of its predecessors, it has become a global leader in designing small, stealthy submarines... more »
Why Rural America Loves Donald Trump
*Ted Budd* *Politics, Americas* The jobs numbers are pretty clear cut. Following the Great Recession in 2008, many economists and liberal thinkers argued that rural America would never again be an engine for economic growth. While more folks today reside in metropolitan areas, I can tell you from firsthand experience that rural communities continue to play an integral role in job creation and our national economy. Thankfully, President Donald Trump has been steadfast in advancing pro-growth policies that help residents living in these areas of our country. According to the Bro... more »

A variety of outstanding weapons and pieces of equipment affected the course of World War II for both the Allies and the Axis powers. There was the British workhorse 25-pounder field gun, the deadly Supermarine Spitfire fighter, the Avro Lancaster bomber, the universal carrier, and the dependab... more »
2,600 Rockets Have Been Fired at Israel Since March, 2018. This Is How Israel Stops Them.
*Seth J. Frantzman* *Technology, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Technology and hard work. In 1991, during the Gulf War, more than forty Scud missiles were fired at Israel. At the time, the entire country was included in one early warning zone, so millions of people were warned of the incoming rockets, even though most of them lived in areas that were not threatened. Today there are more than 1,700 distinct zones in Israel that enables the country to warn only the communities under direct threat. It is the latest development in Israel’s early warning technology and worked effective... more »
Russia's Naval Modernization: Blowing the United States Out of the Water?

In an effort to make up for the Russian Navy’s abysmal performance deficiencies, Russian President Vladimir Putin recently confirmed the prioritization of equipping some ocean-going vessels with hypersonic missiles—missiles that travel faster and have a greater range than their American counterparts. In the event of conflict at sea, Russia may have an insurmountable advantage. Here’s why. *The Sad State of the Russian Navy* Russia’s Navy is woefully inadequate. Most ships are legacy Sov... more »
The Smith & Wesson Model 329PD: The Lightest .44 Magnum Ever Made?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Technology, * Take a look. One of America’s oldest gun companies has pushed the limits of technological innovation to create the lightest large-caliber revolver on the U.S. market. The Smith & Wesson Model 329PD takes technology the company pioneered for smaller revolvers and ports it to large frame, large caliber revolvers. The result is perhaps the lightest .44 Magnum revolver ever made. The .44 Magnum cartridge was invented in the late 1940s and introduced in 1950. The big round was based on the .44 Special and featured a significant boost in energy and velo... more »

REUTERS/Ints Kalnins] Will the battle-tested Cold War veteran fighter become obsolete? *Key Point:* America might soon be playing catch-up with Russia and China. The United States Air Force is in the midst of a transformational shift. Since the 1990s, all new combat aircraft accepted into inventory have been designed with stealth in mind.

Mark Steel Really Goes to Town
Looking back on our posts here in praise of Mark Steel - my favourite far-left Radio 4 comedian - I revisited on old anonymous quote from 2017 which managed to sum up beautifully how I felt after falling in love with his wonderfully warm and funny *Mark Steel's in Town *on Radio 4*)*: I was talking to a friend today about Mark Steel. We can all see he is a complete lefty (and some of his leftiness I don't have a problem with) but (a) he still has a human sense of humour about him (b) he isn't vindictive and (c) he engages with a wide audience. And then, post-election, he goes and ... more »

Why a second American Revolution is necessary for the entire world
[image: Image: Why a second American Revolution is necessary for the entire world] Ah yes. We have democratic elections everywhere but they are all actively subverted by money and power and thus the resultant government usually fails to make real progress that benefit the people. Not least because they simply do not know how as so many failures have shown us. While money and power is focused on their own profit and quite rightly at that. In the Chavez example, all sources of wealth have been directly destroyed by taxation and expropriation which of course eliminated the jobs th... more »

"The Global Institutional Architecture Is Collapsing" ?
Things to think about here. The big news is that live births have dropped a full third just in the past three years. That means that China is now on the fast road to a population of around 700,000,000 and a direct loss of about the same amount. None of this will happen the same way outside of China. We do have concerns here regarding the global infrastructure. Yet it is a work in progress and the first step is focused on developing the right type of leadership everywhere. This is clearly underway. Thus i am obviously much more optimistic. Re engineering the architecture hap... more »

Imperial Japan's Type 3 Machine Gun: America's Worst Nightmare or Paper Tiger?
