Last Westchester County Republican Legislator Switches Party

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 5 minutes ago
When I was growing up in Brooklyn-- same neighborhood (and schools) as Bernie-- there were no Republicans anywhere in site. They were all in tony, upscale Westchester north of the City. That's all changed. My old neighborhood is filled with incredibly bigoted and savage Russian immigrants who gave Trump big majorities over Hillary in 2016 and Westchester... well, the last Republican in the county legislature, David Tubiolo, just switched from Republican to Democrat. Don't get me wrong, Brooklyn is still a Democratic bastion, even if my old neighborhood isn't. Hillary beat Trump in... more »

This Aircraft Carrier Was So Tough That It Took Two Nazi Battleships To Sink It

Michael Peck at The National Interest - 23 minutes ago
*Michael Peck* *History, Europe* Glorious was not a lucky ship. *Key Point:* The British aircraft carrier HMS *Glorious* discovered why carriers should need to stay far away from enemy surface fleets. If you are the captain of an aircraft carrier, these are the words you do not want to hear: “Enemy battleship in sight!” Yet on June 8, 1940, the British aircraft carrier HMS *Glorious* discovered why carriers should need to stay far away from enemy surface fleets. The *Glorious* encountered not one, but *two* German battleships off the Norwegian coast. What ensued was a disaster t... more »

Forget Russia, China Has The Largest Tank Force On Earth

David Axe at The National Interest - 23 minutes ago
*David Axe* *Security, Asia* Nearly 7,000. *Key point:* Many of the tanks are in need of a serious upgrade. In 2019 both the U.S. and Russian armies introduced new versions of their primary main battle tank, helping to enhance what is widely viewed as the world’s leading armored forces. But China, not the United States or Russia, possesses the planet’s *biggest *tank force, all-together possessing a whopping 6,900 tanks. By contrast, the U.S. and Russian armies each need just under 2,000 tanks to fully equip all front-line armored units, although to be fair both armies also kee... more »

Why Did a False Nuclear Alarm Go Off?

Jack L. Rozdilsky at The National Interest - 23 minutes ago
*Jack L. Rozdilsky* *Security, Canada* [image: Reuters] A breakdown of the incident. On Sunday at 7:23 a.m., residents of the Greater Toronto Area were abruptly awakened by an alert issued by Ontario’s Emergency Alert Ready System stating: “An incident was reported at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. There has been NO abnormal release of radioactivity from the station and emergency staff are responding to the situation.” At 8:06 a.m., the Ontario Power Generation released a statement that the alert was issued in error and that there was no danger to the public or the e... more »

Fentanyl Has Become the Main Drug of Choice

Roger Bate at The National Interest - 23 minutes ago
*Roger Bate* *Health, Americas* [image: Reuters] Dealers prefer to sell fentanyl for several reasons. First, the supply is more reliable. Largely unavailable in suburban illicit drug markets three years ago, today fentanyl has become the main drug of choice or at least availability. With the clampdown on prescription drugs, notably oxycodone and hydrocodone, it is increasingly difficult to get access to prescription opioids in the Philadelphia suburbs. Dealers prefer to sell fentanyl for several reasons. First, the supply is more reliable. This is quite remarkable since legal fe... more »

Why the UK Didn't Ban Huawei

Greig Paul at The National Interest - 23 minutes ago
*Greig Paul* *Security, Europe* [image: Reuters] A breakdown of the decision. The UK’s decision not to ban China’s Huawei from being a supplier for its next-generation mobile network has caused ructions. US politicians are outraged, with Newt Gingrich calling it a “major defeat” for his country. In the UK, there could be a Tory rebellion against forthcoming legislation on the matter. In truth, the government had little choice. When you look at the background, the decision is at least understandable – and more complex than just a security issue. Mobile phone networks comprise t... more »

This Data Shows That Trump’s ‘Blue Collar Boom’ Is a Bust

David Salkever at The National Interest - 23 minutes ago
*David Salkever* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] Next time you read a story about a raise in pay, try to see if it reports the wage data in nominal or real terms and if it includes fringe benefits. If you thought workers’ hourly pay was finally rising, think again. At first glance, the latest data – which came out on Feb. 7 – look pretty good. They show nominal hourly earnings rose 3.1% in January from a year earlier. But the operative word here is nominal, which means not adjusted for changes in the cost of living. Once you factor in inflation, the picture changes drasti... more »

The F-35 Stealth Fighter Is Pulling More Impressive Maneuvers Than We Thought Possible

Mark Episkopos at The National Interest - 23 minutes ago
*Mark Episkopos* *Security, * Here's the video. *Key point: *It remains to be seen to what extent the F-35 can maneuver. Fresh off a major personnel shakeup, the new F-35A demonstration team has an ambitious performance lineup in store for the 2020 season. In a potential preview of the team’s fresh routines for its upcoming shows, a highly-circulated 2019 video depicts Capt. Andrew "Dojo" Olson performing an impressive series of maneuvers never-before-seen by a F-35 demo pilot. The videos, first posted to Instagram, show snippets from one of Olson’s training session at Luke Airf... more »

Will Iran and the US Engage in a Cyberwar?

Vasileios Karagiannopoulos at The National Interest - 23 minutes ago
*Vasileios Karagiannopoulos* *Security, America* [image: Reuters] We have the details. The world shook at the news in early January that a US drone strike had killed Iran’s top military general, Qassem Soleimani, outside Baghdad’s airport. According to the Pentagon, the attack was conducted as a decisive defensive action at the direction of President Donald Trump to protect US personnel abroad. The supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called for “severe revenge” for Soleimani’s death and on January 8, Iran launched missiles against US military bases in Iraq in retalia... more »

Did America Really Lose the First Gulf War (In the Long Run)?

Robert Farley at The National Interest - 23 minutes ago
*Robert Farley* *History, Middle East* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2000%3Anewsml_RP2DRHXRGVAC&share=true] Hubris. *Key point:* Washington won the war, but it made America over-confident. Even if the conflict was the right call, the question is how this hubris might play out in the long-run. The United States and its coalition partners evicted Iraq from Kuwait over twenty-three years ago. Temporally, the Gulf War is closer to the fall of Saigon than it is to us today. Given the struggles of the past fourteen years, it’s difficult to remember... more »

Is Trump’s Economic Forecast a Giant Lie?

James Pethokoukis at The National Interest - 23 minutes ago
*James Pethokoukis* *economy, Americas* [image: Reuters] The Trump White House is looking at a very different economy than the CBO and Fed, one that is way more productive. If the new White House economic forecast — part of its fiscal 2021 budget document — pans out, many future generations of American teenagers might well be attending a Donald J. Trump High School in their area. Well, maybe not Vermont, but in plenty of other places. Because if that rosy forecast pans out, it would mean that the US economy has defied expectations and broken sharply higher from its two–decade, tw... more »

Donald Trump Got Completely Suckered By Iran In Iraq

Dov S. Zakheim at The National Interest - 23 minutes ago
*Dov S. Zakheim* *Security, Middle East* And America is worse off. *Key point: *Tehran did not waste much time responding to the American strike. On December 29, 2019, in retaliation for a rocket attack two days earlier by the Tehran-backed Kataib Hezbollah (KH) militia on the K-1 military base near Kirkuk that killed an American contractor, Air Force F-15E fighters struck three of the militia’s bases in Iraq and two more in Syria. The attacks left about twenty-five militiamen dead and more than fifty wounded. The targets were KH storage facilities and command posts; Washington... more »

Could A Chinese Surprise Attack Beat The U.S. Military?

David Axe at The National Interest - 23 minutes ago
*David Axe* *Security, Asia* U.S. forces are vulnerable in a variety of places. *Key point:* In the event of war with the United States over disputed Pacific territories, Chinese forces likely would attempt to neutralize forward-deployed U.S. forces in Japan and Guam and at sea. The U.S. military must find ways of defeating any attempt by China to launch surprise strikes using non-nuclear weapons, analyst Sam Goldsmith argued in a new article for *Naval War College Review*. “China likely would aim to confine itself to the use of conventional weapons during any potential high-int... more »

The Army's New Interceptor Missiles Are The Swiss Army Knives Of Anti-Air Fire

Kris Osborn at The National Interest - 23 minutes ago
*Kris Osborn* *Security, * The Multi-Mission Launcher has already performed well in tests. *Key Point:* "This is a capability that, when fully matured and fielded, will match and counter a very wide variety of sophisticated airborne threats." The Army is test-firing an interceptor missile designed to protect forces on the ground by destroying incoming enemy fire from artillery, rockets, mortars, cruise missiles and even drones and aircraft, service officials explained. Various successful live-fire tests, which have taken place at White Sands Missile Range N.M., demonstrated th... more »

The Horror of Concentration Camps in China

Aidan Forth at The National Interest - 23 minutes ago
*Aidan Forth* *Politics, East Asia* [image: Reuters] Here's what we know. The recent leak of Chinese Communist Party documents to the *New York Times* offers a chilling glimpse into the 21st century’s largest system of concentration camps. A million Uighurs and other Muslim minorities are now detained in a Chinese operation that combines the forced labour and re-education of Mao-era laogai with the post-9/11 rhetoric of the “war on terror.” U.S. President Donald Trump’s Muslim ban, border camps crowded with migrant children and America’s global archipelago of so-called black si... more »

Is Donald Trump Cutting Medicaid or Not?

Hunter DeRensis at The National Interest - 23 minutes ago
*Hunter DeRensis* *Politics, * The White House’s 2020 budget proposal stands as one of the larger budgets of the past decade. The Republican plan is to extinguish the current deficit by 2035. Let the debate begin. This afternoon the Trump administration released its proposed budget for fiscal year 2021. It includes $4.8 trillion in federal spending, and politically balances itself as an election-year proposal. It has little likelihood of passing the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives without major changes. During his 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump pro... more »

Flying Bio-Containment: Italian Air Force Evacuates Coronavirus Patient

David Axe at The National Interest - 23 minutes ago
*David Axe* *Security, * An Italian air force tanker-transport plane on Jan. 10, 2020 departed its base near Rome and headed east toward Wuhan, China, on a dangerous mission. Transporting back to Italy an Italian student who contracted the novel-coronavirus in Wuhan, the center of a fast-expanding epidemic.

Donald Trump Wants Billions of Dollars for New Nukes

David Axe at The National Interest - 23 minutes ago
*David Axe* *Security, * The administration of Pres. Donald Trump wants to boost by billions of dollars the federal government’s production of plutonium pits for nuclear weapons. The administration of Pres. Donald Trump wants to boost by billions of dollars the federal government’s production of plutonium pits for nuclear weapons. The proposal, part of the administration’s budget blueprint for the 2021 fiscal year, would sustain a large atomic arsenal potentially for decades and, according to one nuclear watchdog group, risks fueling a runaway strategic arms race. The White Ho... more »

Does China's J-11 Fighter Jet Have Russian SU-27 "DNA"?

Sebastien Roblin at The National Interest - 23 minutes ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2009%3Anewsml_GM1E58V07VE01&share=true] We think so. *Key Point:* China wants to build its own fighters and that means using any means to do it. In fact, Beijing has been buying, stealing, and copying foreign weapon systems for decades now. The Shenyang J-11 is a Chinese copy of the excellent Russian Sukhoi Su-27 “Flanker” multirole fighter. In fact, it was at first an *authorized *copy—but Chinese ambitions to adapt it with locally produced technology transformed it into a rev... more »

A Law in South Carolina Bans Playing Pinball if You’re Under 18

John Stossel at The National Interest - 2 hours ago
*John Stossel* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] Today’s laws punish activities unlikely to be performed with criminal intent. A law in South Carolina bans playing pinball if you’re under 18.
