They offer no liberty, only subservience to the government, and they want guarantees and equity, not pursuit.

Sky, which existed in various line-ups from 1979 until 1995, was one of the first so-called "supergroups", where established musicians from other groups and/or solo success came together to record and perform on an occasional basis. Sky was a cross-genre group, with influences from classical, rock and jazz music. Its original lineup included John Williams, Herbie Flowers, Kevin Peek, Tristan Fry and Francis Monkman, all well-known in their own right. The "core" of Sky's work is generally considered to be their first four albums. After that, with members coming and going, the qua...

*Orde Kittrie* *Security, Middle East* No deal is perfect, but any improvement should not be downplayed when it makes the volatile Middle East more peaceful and win-win. Criticism of Israel’s treaty with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been relentless. The New York Times’ Roger Cohen calls it “Trump’s Middle Eastern Mirage” and “something rotten.” A Washington Post oped calls it “a big step – in the wrong direction.” Reporting by Bloomberg describes the deal as “thin.” Middle East analyst Daniel Levy writes that the agreement is merely “the codification of an existing reality”...

Russia's T-80 Tank Is No Laughing Matter

Perhaps one of the more overlooked tanks that continues to be modernized are variants of the T-80.
