Is Iran Slowly Moving Towards Building an Aircraft Carrier?
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Iran, Middle East* Tehran could be inching closer to developing a true carrier. Here's why. Warships capable of carrying aircraft are used by navies around the world, but to date, the Iranian Navy isn't one of those countries that operate a carrier. The closest that the Islamic Republic of Iran has come to building an aircraft carrier is to "simulate" an American carrier as a weapons test platform. The "Elite" Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGC-N) had transformed an old target barge into a large-scale mock-up of that loosely resembled the U.S. Navy's *Nimitz*-cl...

Team Biden's Left Derangement Syndrome
Karen Garcia, Sardonicky - 10 hours ago
If you don't stop bugging him about climate change and social justice and health care, Joe Biden will not stop at covering his ears and rescinding that gracious invite to the kiddie table.

*Caleb Larson* *Security, Middle East* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_RC1930B55610&share=true] Though Ankara insists the Altay is a fully-Turkish design, South Korea’s Hyundai Rotem may provide some of the crucial technology—though when the MBT will be ready is anybody’s guess. Putting it simply, Turkish armor isn’t exactly the most modern. In addition to early Cold War-era American M48 and M60 tanks, Turkey also fields several German-built Leopard 1 and Leopard 2 main battle tanks. Though fairly formidable when introduced in the ...

Joe Biden Advisor Says More People Will Die the Longer Trump Delays Transition

*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Politics, Americas* On Monday, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar confirmed that there will be roughly forty million doses of vaccine available by the end of this year. That figure will enable the inoculation of only about twenty million people because the vaccine will require two shots. Many Americans could end up dying from the coronavirus because of the Trump administration’s refusal to engage in the presidential transition process and coordinate the vaccine’s distribution nationwide, according to a coronavirus advisor to presumptive president-el...

Perhaps enemy ground vehicles moving toward an attack have been engineered with certain kinds of infrared suppressors to lower heat emissions and therefore be less detectable to thermal infrared targeting?

Why America’s Belarus Strategy Backfired

Divided US: the Mindless Menace of Tribalism
Teodrose Fikremariam, The Ghion Journal - 14 hours ago
There was a time, not too long ago, where I used to take part in the very same divides that I now speak and write against. As much as I inveigh against manufactured differences, six years ago I used to deride all “white” people and blame them for all the sins of the world. I used to also vilify Republicans and castigate anyone who did not accept my political orthodoxy. It took a dance with… The post Divided US: the Mindless Menace of Tribalism appeared first on The Ghion Journal.
Our Own Morons
Owen Gray, Northern Reflections - 15 hours ago
Erin O'Toole is trying to put a softer face on the Conservative Party, assuming that strategy will build a big tent party. But, Bob Hepburn writes, he's casting himself as Canada's Donald Trump: Some analysts suggest O’Toole is shifting the party so far to the left that at times he sounds like U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders or that he’s trying to steal traditional NDP voters. In truth, though, what O’Toole is doing is fashioning himself as Canada’s Donald Trump — but without the bombast, lies, bigotry and polarization that mark Trump’s presidency. Indeed, O...

Jewish-Led Groups Condemn Pompeo For Declaring Boycott-Divestment Movement Anti-Semitic
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 15 hours ago
Jewish peace activists led a wave of stinging rebuke of U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo Thursday after he declared the peaceful Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement for Palestinian human rights "anti-Semitic" while visiting an illegal Israeli settler colony built on stolen West Bank land. Pompeo became the first top U.S. diplomat to visit an Israeli settlement in the unlawfully occupied West Bank of Palestine as he lunched at a winery in Psagot, located on a hill formerly known as Jabel Tawil until Israeli forces conquered it in 1967. The post Jewish-Led Groups C...
Phil Scott: Why Vermont's Republican Governor Might Be One of the Best
Chris Edwards, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Chris Edwards* *Politics, Americas* The land of Bernie Sanders is headed by Phil Scott, a Republican governor who favors restrained budgets, low taxes, and leans moderate or libertarian on social policy. The top grade in Cato’s governors report this year went to Republican Chris Sununu of New Hampshire. He is a solid fiscal conservative and was just re‐​elected by a 65 to 33 percent margin, even though the state went to Joe Biden over Donald Trump 53 to 46. New Hampshire is a unique state in the region, with smaller government and more freedom than its neighbors. Next door, Ver...
America’s Military Bases Will Soon Be Patrolled by Robot Canines
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC2HNG9EBEO1&share=true] These robo puppers will keep the bases safe and watch for intruders. They don’t need food, water, grooming or a long walk, but groups of new dogs will be protecting Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida. Meet the military’s new robot dogs. Long in development, a new breed of unmanned “computerized canines” will be conducting surveillance missions around the perimeter of the facility to ensure security, free up manpower and ideally network relev...
The Russian Navy Isn't All Junk: Here Are Five of Its Most Dangerous Weapons
Mark Episkopos, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Mark Episkopos* *Security, Eurasia* [image: Reuters] The Kremlin has become increasingly focused on modernizing its navy with cost-effective, export-driven innovation on the one hand and iterative adaptation of present technologies on the other. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Western observers deride Russia for its aging fleet, and the world's largest country can't afford the defense spending spree that has characterized the United States (and, to a lesser degree, China) in recent years. But Russia still has one of the most potent fleets in the world. America's military pla...
The Thanksgiving lockdown is so convenient
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 15 hours ago
Sometimes we oldsters complain that "kids today" don't know American history as we learned it in the 50s and 60s. But we've learned in 2020 that our elected leaders don't know the history of the 80s and 90s or even the 21st century. A Thanksgiving lock down plays right into the hands of the far-left, cancel culture, kill the sense of national identity and destroy the family game plan. It's like a gift, wrapped with a big bow and delivered by Amazon. The battle over Thanksgiving and its origins has been going on for at least 40 years. Nasty powerful white Europeans with guns and a...
Do Trump's Lawyers Know What They Are Doing?
War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 15 hours ago
*John Hinderaker, Powerline*: *Do Trump's Lawyers Know What They Are Doing?* Today several of President Trump’s lawyers, including Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, held a press conference in which they alleged that they have convincing if not conclusive evidence that the presidential election was rigged, and that in addition to garden variety voter fraud, hundreds of thousands of votes were added to Joe Biden’s totals through electronic manipulation. This is the familiar issue that involves Dominion and SmartMatic software. Here is the press conference; it begins around an hour i...

MAYBE WE'RE DOING MORE DAMAGE BY NOT STOOPING TO THEIR LEVEL
Steve M., No More Mister Nice Blog - 15 hours ago
Peggy Noonan, to her credit, has had enough of the president's efforts to steal the election. More than two weeks after the election, it’s clear where this is going. The winner will be certified and acknowledged; Joe Biden will be inaugurated. But it’s right to worry about the damage being done on the journey. ... the sheer nuttiness surrounding the current mess is becoming deeply destructive. But this is preposterous: The Trump campaign sent an email under the name of formerly respectable Republican Newt Gingrich, once speaker of the House, saying “The Corruption is Unprecedent...

Bruce K. Gagnon, Organizing Notes - 15 hours ago
I heard one theory that the Donald is simply building his next landing surface - padding future bank accounts - with all this electoral jumble currently going on. Makes about as much sense as anything else I've heard. But in the end Trump is doing what the oligarchs truly want - divide and conquer America by pitting the people against one another. Remember that he got his training in handling the big crowds from his time at WWE's WrestleMania - where the tough-guy-jabber-talk always proceeded the wrestling match - and the pre-ordained finish. It won't be much longer before w...
America's Missile Defence Agency - Is Protecting the Homeland Leading to a Nuclear Escalation?
A Political Junkie, Viable Opposition - 15 hours ago
A recent announcement by the United States Missile Defence Agency is most interesting but has received almost no traction in the mainstream media given that it doesn't have any link to either the U.S. presidential election or the seemingly never-ending COVID-19 narrative. Nonetheless, the announcement is of particular interest given that it will have a significant impact on Washginton's view of a unipolar world and how it is perceived by its two main competitors, Russia and China. Here is the announcement: ...
