Japan Still Holds The Record For The World's Largest Battleship
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* Yamato was a true monster. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Unfortunately for *Yamato* and its crew, it was obsolete by the time it was launched in 1941. The ability of fast aircraft carriers to engage enemy ships at the range of their embarked dive and torpedo bombers meant a carrier could attack a battleship at ranges of two hundred miles or more, long before it entered the range of a battleship’s guns. Battleships were “out-sticked,” to use a modern term. In early 1945, the Imperial Japanese Navy made a difficult decision: it would sacrific... more »
Exclusive Look into the Islamic State’s New Leadership
*Center for Global Policy:* *Exclusive Look into the Islamic State’s New Leadership* Tucked in a 100-page document that a dissident group within the Islamic State released in 2018 was an incredible story about a miracle. The biographical document was meant to chronicle the life of an Iraqi jihadist from being a young man with an ambition to raise pigeons to becoming one of the most influential ISIS leaders. The biography of Abu Ali al-Anbari, ISIS’s former deputy who was killed in 2018, had clearly been meant to establish the person’s religious and tribal credentials, in case th... more »

Rapprochement with Turkey Requires Ankara’s Respect for Religious Freedom
*Toufic Baaklini, Michael Rubin* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Turkey shows itself more in the company of rogue regimes than responsible states. Throughout the Cold War and for a decade after, Turkey was perhaps America’s top partner in the region. U.S. presidents and secretaries of state spoke of the “special relationship” or “model partnership” between the countries. Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan shredded that deliberately. Today, the debate within U.S. policy circles is not whether Turkey is an ally, but instead whether it is possible to salvage the U.S.-... more »

Most Organizations formed to Combat Child Sex Trafficking are Actually Facilitating and Funding It
One of the tragic realities of child sex trafficking is the fact that groups who allegedly advocate for the end of child sex trafficking and the "protection" of children, are actually the very groups behind trafficking children. The most obvious example is the one we have been reporting on for years now here at Health Impact News, which is the government-funded child welfare system commonly referred to as "Child Protective Services," or CPS, which is the main vehicle by which children are kidnapped from their families and trafficked.

Was The Trump Tweet Yesterday A White Flag?
Trump's tweet was hilarious Wednesday morning. I wondered if it gave McConnell heart failure; I'm certain it sent Pelosi into a state of near exultation, if not euphoria. He completely undercut McConnell's already weak bargaining position on the must-pass pandemic relief bill-- telling the Republicans (i.e.- McConnell) to "go for the much higher numbers." It also looks like Trump told Meadows to get a bill done. Right after the tweet, Meadows told the media he feels "optimistic" and that "If the Speaker is willing to stay in, I'm willing to stay in, the Secretary [Mnuchin] is will... more »
