Another Trump Insider Exposes The Worst President In History: The Donald

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 6 hours ago
Olivia Troye, a lifelong Republican who announced she's voting for Biden, worked for Pence for two years, a special adviser for homeland security and counterterrorism issues and in charge of his pandemic response. It may be hard to remember, but supposedly Pence is in charge of the entire government's pandemic response. She was the one who held it altogether for him. On Thursday she said Trump's biggest concern about the pandemic is how it will affect his reelection and said that he didn't care about people getting sick or dying. Trump says he never heard of her, never met her... more »

TRUMPERS ARE TRYING TO PHYSICALLY PREVENT BIDEN SUPPORTERS FROM VOTING

Meet the next ‘Moa’ … Why is the NZ Green Party not condemning the extinction threat to the critically endangered Teviot Flathead?

Pam Vernon at Rangitikei Environmental Health Watch - 6 hours ago
By Craig Hutchinson Earlier this week I looked on the NZ Green Party’s website for a statement on the Labour-led government’s Lake Onslow ‘pumped hydro’ project. I couldn’t find one. So I asked the retiring Green Party Energy and Resources Spokesperson, Gareth Hughes. I included a link to my earlier post: https://www.minds.com/waimak_one/blog/nz-labour-s-mad-energy-idea-1136410724734169088 I think I … Continue reading Meet the next ‘Moa’ … Why is the NZ Green Party not condemning the extinction threat to the critically endangered Teviot Flathead? →

It is common knowledge to anybody who reads other than lamestream media that eugenicist Bill Gates openly targets poorer countries out of ostensibly philanthropy, in fact these are the people targeted for depopulation.

The South China Sea Will Be The Epicenter Of The Next Pacific War

Robert Farley at The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, Asia* If China and America come to blows, it will be here. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Accidental war is rare, but not impossible. Common to all of these scenarios is the potential that Chinese (or less likely, American) public opinion might become so inflamed as to box in policymakers. If Xi Jinping, who has made assertive foreign policy a cornerstone of his administration, feels that he cannot back down and survive politically, then things could get unpredictable very quickly. Neither China nor the United States want war, at least not in the n... more »

The Failure to Repatriate Foreign Fighters Is A Gift to ISIS

Elena Pokalova at The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Elena Pokalova* *Security, Middle East* Foreign fighters who are left behind are only destined to rejoin the Islamic State at the first opportunity. But a different trajectory is possible for others if they are repatriated, brought to justice, and returned to a peaceful life. The United States vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution that aimed to address the fate of the foreign fighters remaining in Syria and Iraq on August 21, 2020. The draft resolution called on member states to prevent future security threats from “foreign terrorist fighters” (FTFs) “by bringing ... more »

China’s Plan to Dominate the Middle East Centers Around Iran

Ross Harrison, Alex Vatanka at The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Ross Harrison, Alex Vatanka* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] The agreement with Iran could end up being the first major foray of many that gave Beijing a long reach into the Middle East at the expense of the United States, and even Russia. Given today’s contentious global geopolitical map, the budding China-Iran relationship seems like a perfect marriage. China needs to buy oil and gas to fuel its economic growth, and Iran desperately needs revenue to sustain its flagging economy. This is particularly true given the collapse of global oil prices and the punishing sancti... more »

The Road to a War Within NATO

Thomas Trask, Jonathan Ruhe at The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Thomas Trask, Jonathan Ruhe* *Security, Eurasia* [image: Reuters] Two initially separate trends are coming together to drastically reshape the region with new opportunities and challenges for the United States. Given everything that’s happened this year, and now that we’ve filled the “double hurricane” box, perhaps it wouldn’t be that surprising to see “armed conflict within NATO” as the winning square on our 2020 bingo card. This is precisely what could happen without overdue U.S. leadership in the increasingly volatile and strategically important Eastern Mediterranean. Washin... more »

Yes, China Wants Its J-31 Stealth Fighter Jet to Launch From Aircraft Carriers

Kris Osborn at The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2014%3Anewsml_GM1EABB1S3V01&share=true] Such a feat would require major changes. Could China pull it off? *Key Point*: This mysterious plane could be Beijing's version of the F-35. No doubt it was made from stolen U.S. technologies but China needs to improve its copy to make it carrier-worthy. The Chinese appear to be preparing to launch a first-of-its-kind new-generation fighter jet in 2021, a move which could signify a large step forward in power-projection and air-attack capabilit... more »

China in the Arctic and Antarctic: A Threat?

Carlo J. V. Caro, Sasha Dov Bachmann at The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Carlo J. V. Caro, Sasha Dov Bachmann* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Since 1983, Beijing has been a signatory to the Antarctic Treaty which prohibits new territorial claims, other than the seven original ones. If China decided to alter this position, it would have to abandon the treaty or push for a reform in 2048. Climate change has started to show its undeniable effects in global geopolitics. Its first consequences are seen in both polar continents, as their ice caps are increasingly melting. The United States, China and Russia are justling for influence in the Arctic, whil... more »

World War I Reveals The High Stakes Of A China-Japan Naval War

James Holmes at The National Interest - 8 hours ago
*James Holmes* *Security, Asia* The Great War at sea presents an example worth emulating in certain respects and modifying or rejecting in others. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *It’s doubtful any East Asian fight would be a one-on-one affair. This makes a heartening departure from the First World War precedent. While Japan is not today’s reigning maritime hegemon, it is the beneficiary of a preexisting and durable alliance with the reigning maritime hegemon, the United States. What it lacks in innate strength it can make up in allied solidarity so long as the transpacific r... more »

Does The U.S. Army Really Need Tactical Nuclear Weapons?

*Kris Osborn* *Security, * To make peace, be ready for war? *Here's What You Need To Remember: *“We want to raise the threshold to the highest level possible and let adversaries know we can counter any action that they may take and deliver consequences should deterrence fail. Deterrence is the ultimate goal, and this allows us to deter along the full spectrum of conflict. The ultimate goal is to ensure that the adversary does not miscalculate and think we have a weakness in this area,” Clark explained. It might seem like a paradox: be ready to fight a limited “tactical” nuclear ... more »

How Close Is Russia's PAK DA Stealth Bomber to Completion?

Kris Osborn at The National Interest - 8 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Europe* Moscow has long lauded the plane as revolutionary, but is it the plane ready for real-life combat? *Key Point*: The secretive plan is shourded in mystery. It could be a big deal if Moscow can get it right. Russia has reportedly begun construction of its next-generation PAK DA stealth bomber as part of an apparent strategic effort to usher in a new era of stealth bombing technology. Moscow hopes to get ahead of the U.S. Air Force’s emerging B-21 stealth bomber and China’s H-20 strategic bomber. A report in the Russian News Agencies’ TASS says the ... more »

A Luftwaffe Fighting Ace Took a Joy-Ride in a British Spitfire (Yes, Really)

*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* 95 year-old Luftwaffe ace Hugo Broch took to the skies for the first time in a Supermarine Spitfire. *Key Point*: After flying high over Britain in the Spitfire, Broch heaped praise on his former adversary’s formidable fighter plane. When Hugo Broch flew his fighter for the Luftwaffe, he probably didn’t imagine he would ever find himself in the cockpit of a Supermarine Spitfire. That, however, is precisely what happened when the 95 year-old fighter ace took flight in one of Britain’s last operable Spitfires, a two-seat Tr.9 MJ627 train... more »

Is the DC Metro Destined for Death?

Randal O'Toole at The National Interest - 8 hours ago
*Randal O'Toole* *Society, * Conceived with racist assumptions and faulty financial projections, the DC Metro system has proved to be a financial and operational disaster. The region would do better rely more on cars and, in some places, buses. Highway traffic in the Washington DC metro area returned to 80 percent of its pre‐​pandemic levels in July, but DC transit carried only 16 percent as many riders as it did in July 2019.

History lesson: GI's resist Vietnam war

Bruce K. Gagnon at Organizing Notes - 8 hours ago
Produced by BBC When I joined the Air Force in early 1971, after my training, I was sent to Travis AFB in California for my permanent duty. It was an airlift base for the war so there was lots of anti-war organizing outside the base gates and inside the barracks. As it turned out my first roommate was an organizer in the GI resistance movement and meetings would often be held in our room at night. I came into the Air Force as a Young Republican for Nixon, but being in that room and reading their newsletter called 'Travesty' changed by life. It was there that I became a peac... more »

Following decades of Han migration and intermarriage into Inner Mongolia, ethnic Mongolians have since become a minority in their own land, accounting for only about one sixth of Inner Mongolia's population of 24 million, according to the last available census data.
