This Is What The Ultimate Submarine Could Look Like In 20 Years

War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 18 minutes ago
It will be for naval architects to see how the new technologies, such as AI, automation and quantum computing, will affect the physical form of submarines. H I Sutton *Forbes:* *What The Ultimate Submarine Could Look Like In 20 Years* The U.S. Navy’s Virginia Class fast attack submarines are ruthlessly efficient war machines, the apex predators of the deep. Yet their general appearance and many aspects of their design have a direct lineage back to the 1950s. The same can be said of British and Russian subs. However, a range of new technologies could allow radically different subma... more »

Is Russia Developing an Unmanned Armata T-14 Tank?

Peter Suciu at The National Interest - 1 hour 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* *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.

Online Classes – COVID Makes Medically Kidnapping Children Easier – Direct Access to Your Home

AdminM at Medical Kidnap - 4 hours ago
The brave new world of COVID has certainly changed everyone's lives, for the worse. Not too long ago homeschooling one's child meant keeping the child in the safest place possible, far away from those who would intend to do harm, such as require them to get dangerous vaccines, or reporting them to Child Protective Services where often social workers would come to schools and remove the child without the parents even knowing about it. Homeschooling used to prevent all that, but not anymore. At least not if you are participating in government education. Last week, for example, it was... more »

Would You Take A Vaccine From Donald Trump?

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 4 hours ago
My Twitter polls aren't scientific-- sort of like Trump's desperation to get a COVID vaccine out before the election, whether ir works, doesn't work-- or kills or maims some of the people who use it. But I enjoy my Twitter polls and the one above is just that. I can't vote in my own own polls but I would have voted for the last choice, like almost everyone else did. Now a recent Gallup poll about the pandemic-- unlike my twitter poll or Trump's decision to force the FDA to release an untested vaccine and approve a bogus treatment-- *is* scientific. And it shows that more than a th... more »

200,000 and Counting: North Korea Has the Largest 'Special Forces' on Earth

Kyle Mizokami at The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* Should the South be worried? *Key Point*: North Korean special forces have evolved from a nuisance force designed to stage attacks in the enemy’s rear into something far more dangerous. One of the most vital parts of North Korea’s war machine is one that relies the most on so-called “soldier power” skills. North Korea has likely the largest special-forces organization in the world, numbering two hundred thousand men—and women—trained in unconventional warfare. Pyongyang’s commandos are trained to operate throughout the Korean Peninsula, and poss... more »

Edward Henry “Butch” O’Hare rocketed to fame in February 1942 by singlehandedly taking on eight Japanese torpedo bombers bent on destroying the aircraft carrier USS Lexington and shooting down several of them. For this deed, President Franklin D. Roosevelt decorated him with the Medal of Honor. Just 21 months later, he was dead,... more »

Russia's T-14 Armata Tank Is Powerful, But Israel's Merkava Dominates In One Area

TNI Staff at The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*TNI Staff* *Security, * Situational awareness. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The Israelis’ massive situational awareness advantage given the capability of the Iron Vision system will give Tel Aviv’s seasoned tank crews a decisive advantage over the T-14 or any other Russian tank until Moscow develops an equivalent capability. In armored warfare, the crew that sees the enemy first almost always wins. With its ongoing campaign in Syria proving to be a useful live-fire operational test and evaluation process for its latest weapons, it is perhaps not inconceivable that the Kr... more »

*The Post Office Crisis to Come* It’s no secret Donald Trump will do anything to hold on to power. His latest strategy is to sabotage the United States Postal Service, courtesy of his handpicked Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. A Republican mega donor with no postal experience, DeJoy instituted sweeping measures that have caused massive mail delays across the country. As national outrage reached a fever pitch, DeJoy announced he would delay policy changes that slow down mail delivery, until after the election. But the USPS is still very much under attack.
