Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah Sunday Thoughts:* *He layeth me beside pool water. His rod and his staff, they comfort me.* - from Psalm 23 of the recently discovered Book Of Falwell (Liberty University Press, 2020) Jeez, Archie Bunker sat in his easy chair and just liked to spout off his typical Republican racist diatribes. Rev. Freaky-Deaky Falwell Jr.? He just sits there and watches his pool boy bang his wife. I'm assuming that what hasn't come out yet is that he likes to occasionally leap up from his chair wearing a panti-free cheerleader outfit to cheer them on. In the Lord's kingdom, there are ... more »
Explanation: What Is The Secret Behind China's Two 'Carrier-Killer' Missiles?
*Andrew S. Erickson* *Security, Asia* China’s new ASBMs are only as effective as the PLA’s ability to actually use them, and the Chinese military lacks operational experience. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *In developing the DF-21D, Chinese engineers drew quite heavily on concepts and technologies from the U.S. MGM-31B *Pershing II *theater ballistic missile fitted with maneuvering reentry vehicles (MaRV). The highly accurate, terminally maneuvering American missile was similar enough to be highly useful for China’s purposes—although substantial modifications of its control ... more »
Taiwan Has Become A Critical Part Of Donald Trump's Anti-China Strategy
*Douglas H. Paal* *Security, Asia* China wants Taiwan back, and only America is standing in Beijing's way. Since April, the administration of US President Donald Trump has been ratcheting up its rhetoric and actions regarding China. This strategy is intended to deflect blame for its mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic at home. It is having the side effect of appearing to dismantle the policy of ‘engagement’ with China of the previous seven US administrations and the way they treated Taiwan. Trump sent Alex Azar, his Secretary of Health and Human Services, to visit Taiwan earl... more »

North Korea's Bunkers Could Be a Real Problem in a War
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] The United States believes there are between six thousand and eight thousand such shelters scattered across the country. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Pyongyang’s eventual defeat in any wartime scenario is a given, but its underground headquarters, fortifications and troop depots have the potential to not only enhance the Korean People’s Army’s ability to mount a surprise attack, but also to prolong the war, confounding the high-tech armed forces of its adversaries. North Korea, one of the most secretive countries in the wor... more »
What Does "America First" Foreign Policy Look Like in 2020 and Beyond?
*Klaus W. Larres* *Politics, The Americas* Trump’s “America First” vision has had three primary strands: disengaging the U.S. from global politics, disdaining allies and befriending autocratic leaders. At the Republican National Convention, supporters of President Trump’s reelection bid have celebrated his attempts to build a Mexico border wall, his promise to “bring our troops home” and his pledge to end U.S. “reliance on China.” All are components of the “America First” agenda Trump ran on in 2016. Back then, he promised to “shake the rust off America’s foreign policy.” Four ... more »
The U.S. Navy Has No Good Answer For China's 'Carrier-Killer' Missile Threat
*Zachary Keck* *Security, Asia* Missiles, and lots of them, have become central to China's Pacific strategy. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Beijing would view destroying America’s military installations here as crucial to preventing the United States from intervening in a conflict between China and one of its neighbors, most likely Taiwan. That said, China’s ability to attack places closer to the Chinese mainland is much greater compared to those that can threaten Guam. This week Chinese state media reported that a new brigade of Beijing’s most advanced intermediate-range ba... more »
North Korea's Kim Jong-un Is Eager To Engage, Is Joe Biden?
*Seong-ho Sheen* *Security, Asia* Biden has an opportunity ahead of him: he can make history if he takes advantage of Trump’s legacy of actively engaging the two Koreas who are eager to make a deal for a permanent peace on the Korean Peninsula. After Donald Trump leaves the Oval Office, one area where the Joe Biden administration--if Biden wins--should and would continue his predecessor’s policy is North Korea. Biden’s team will reassess Trump’s deals with Kim Jong-un and say it was too lousy and lacking of a detailed plan. Biden would most likely not express his personal goodwil... more »
Food safety brass over summer were taking COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 calls

Portrait Of The Biden Voter
* Over at Instapundit, Professor Glenn Reynolds is often the master of the pithy phrase that captures the essence of the political moment. * Yesterday Reynolds wrote that, while the Democrats are trying to make everything in this election (and in life) about race, “Trump’s making clear that it’s about people who are constructive, productive, and generally happy, vs. people who are destructive, parasitic, and generally miserable, and that that difference transcends things like race.” * Have things really gotten so bad that the entire Democrat/Biden campaign has become the coalition of... more »

England’s pro-England Moral Philosophers
The great moral philosophers in England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were pro-England and they mostly preached in favor of the status quo (Locke, Berkeley, Hume, Smith, Burke, and others), whereas, in France and Germany during the same period, the great moral philosophers were anti-France and anti-Germany (Voltaire, Montesquieu, Kant, Rousseau, and others) and they mostly preached against the status quo. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, England attained great economic and political success—the industrial revolution led to an unprecedented growth in its... more »

Canadians Are Wondering If Trudeau’s “Canada’s Back” Slogan Was A Coded Racist Appeal

Great Barrier Reef Platitudes, More Dangerous Than Sharks

*Kris Osborn* *Security, Asia* China's Air Force is working to extend the range at which it effectively operates. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Longer flights naturally increase strike range but also add to dwell time over target areas and make otherwise inaccessible areas within reach.

A Chinese Su-30 fighter jet completed a record-breaking ten-hour armed patrol mission to the South China Sea, setting a new benchmark in long-range strike mission optio... more »
