*Denny Roy* *Joe Biden, * And what will Kim do to try and meet his goal? Is an ICBM test, for example, in the offing? With appropriate humility, we can make a few general, reasonable presumptions about how the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) regime thinks about its policy toward America in late 2020. Pyongyang has several grievances it wants addressed by the United States. The most pressing of these is a demand that Washington lift economic sanctions against the DPRK.

On Tuesday, the Trump administration formally informed the United States Congress of its intention to sell dozens of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter, along with other military hardware, to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This comes as some experts suggested that President-elect Joe Biden might block the sale over Iran fears. There are many “moving par...

Nature Likes Life And Death Struggle, Which Is Why Evolution Prefers More Severe Diseases Like COVID-19
News Staff, Science 2.0 blogs - 14 hours ago
A new study found that natural selection, a key mechanism in biological evolution, favors pathogens with more virulence - how much harm they cause - at the point the disease emerges in a new host species. Not too much, or else everything will be dead, but not too weak to matter either. Virulence and transmission are linked, with virulence arising because pathogens need to exploit hosts to persist, replicate and transmit. Low virulence will be detrimental for pathogens if they cannot transmit while virulence that is too high will also be a disadvantage if infection kills hosts so f...

The biplanes, each carrying 13 bombs, had wingspans exceeding 70 feet, immense for World War I aircraft. German military leaders called the planes Gothas, hopi...
