Israel Suspected in Assassination of Top Iranian Scientist
by Dave DeCamp (source: Antiwar.com) November 29, 2020
In a statement, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif condemned the attack and said there are “serious indications” of an Israeli role in the assassination. In 2018, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called out Fakhrizadeh at a news conference and said, “remember that name.”
“Terrorists murdered an eminent Iranian scientist today. This cowardice—with serious indications of Israeli role—shows desperate warmongering of perpetrators,” Zarif wrote on Twitter.
The New York Times cited three anonymous officials who said Israel was behind Fakhrizadeh’s assassination. ››read more

Iranian Foreign Minister Blames US War on Terror for ‘Countless Broken Societies’
by Andrea Germanos (source: Consortium News) October 28, 2020
The Iranian official’s comments came in a video address to a high level meeting of the General Assembly marking the UN’s 75th anniversary.
“The eight violent wars that the United States initiated or joined since 2001, under the rubric of war on terror, have resulted in the loss of hundreds of thousands of innocent lives, countless broken societies and families… and unprecedented extremism,” said Zarif, a frequent critic of U.S. foreign policy. “It’s time to change that,” he said, “saving American blood and treasure, and sparing the world from further misery.” ››read more

*Charlie Gao* *History, World* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2017%3Anewsml_RC1368813B40&share=true] Here is everything you wanted to know about how these powerful missiles and guns took shape. *Key point: *These weapons helped defeat many enemy aircraft. They range from hand-held to vehicle-mounted. During the Cold War, short-range air defense (SHORAD) was dominated by gun-based vehicles. From the German Gepard to the American VADS to the Soviet Shilka, rapid fire autocannons were the preferred method of taking down helicopters and aircraft a...

I tweeted this in September: Trump will announce his 2024 candidacy at a MAGA rally on the day of Biden's inauguration. — Steve M. (@nomoremister) September 15, 2020 I wrote this on October 28: I've been saying that Trump will continue to be the leader of the GOP even if he loses this election -- he'll insist he won and was cheated out of victory, his supporters will believe it, and he'll probably announce a 2024 run shortly after the polls close, or possibly on Biden's inauguration day. And now the *Daily Beast* confirms it: According to three people familiar with the conversa...

No, There Really Doesn't Need To Be A Big Spring Test In 2021
Peter Greene, CURMUDGUCATION - 15 hours ago
Many folks fear that schools will not trot out the Big Standardized Tests this spring, that neither the pony nor the dog will be called on to perform. Among those people, you can count Chester E. Finn, Jr., Big Boss Emeritus of the Fordham Institution and former player in the U.S. ed department; nowadays he serves the Hoover Institution (ever a source of reliable and not-at-all misleading info) as a senior fellow. Finn popped up in the Washington Post this week to make his case that we just really so much need the BS Tests this year. I remain unconvinced. In all fairness, as regu...

Rousseau, Napoleon, and the Politics of Religion
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 16 hours ago
Rousseau’s teachings inspired not only the Jacobins who spearheaded the bloody French Revolution but also the dictator who came to power after the Jacobins had self-destructed: Napoleon. Early in his life, Napoleon was influenced by Rousseau’s teaching that religion is dangerous since it exists in competition with the state—religion promises happiness in the other world when the state is responsible for providing the means of achieving happiness in this world. At the beginning of the French Revolution, Napoleon, then a young artillery lieutenant, wrote, “Dear Rousseau why was it nec...

A former in-law writes: *“The Hunt Club tavern is still packing them in at its small location. I get pissed every time we go by it.” * Yes, it’s too bad when people can still go to bars, but not to church. However, this whole lockdown would have made more sense if it involved keeping people our age at home—we are the people with age, heart conditions, lung problems, obesity, diabetes, etc. If you were out and about, I hope there was a good reason, and that no one could have done that errand for you. The good news is that although cases are on the increase, the fatalities are bel...

* Why academics hold Thatcher and Trump in such contempt* * The sheer venom in Leftist hate of influential conservatives is a wonder to behold. And academics are usually very committed Leftists so are particularly unhinged. What is going on? Why the complete lack of any balance or moderation?One has to conclude that influential conservatives strike deeply wounding blows at the worldview of Leftist intellectuals. The threat to their worldview is so severe and their worldview is so important to them that they have to muster all their emotional resources into its defence.The ba...
Can Russia’s Legacy Su-27 Flanker Compete with the Newer Su-35?
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * While the Su-35 grabs the headlines as Russia’s most advanced fighter, the majority of its air force consists of older types. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The latest modernization of Russia’s lesser fighters is no slouch and has its advantages too: The Su-27SM3 is significantly cheaper than the Su-35S and provides practically the same long-range capability. The Su-30s are potentially better for strike missions given the distributed pilot workload. While the Su-35 grabs the headlines as Russia’s most advanced fighter, the majority of its air forc...

World War III: Imagining a War Between China and America in 2030
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, Asia* It is entirely possible, perhaps even likely, that China and the United States will not again find themselves in armed conflict. Then again, it’s worth thinking about how the balance of capabilities between the two countries could shift over time, and how windows of opportunity for either might emerge. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *With luck and skill, Washington and Beijing will avoid war, even in 2030. But it behooves planners in both countries to take seriously the possibility that conflict might ensue. The People’s Republic of China (PR...
This Might Be the Best World War III War with Russia Simulator Ever

*Michael Peck* *Security, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC2NFH9RSVSR&share=true] World War III was closer than many people today realize. *Key point: *The conflict would have raged across the world, with the center of Europe being the primary battlefield. Could either side have realistically prevailed? God favors the side with the bigger battalions, says the old military proverb. The Soviet Union didn’t believe in God, but heaven knows, it did swear by the bigger battalions. So what if some of those numerous battalions h...
How America Planned To Survive a Russian Nuclear Attack
Zachary Keck, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Zachary Keck* *Security, Americas* The prospect of the Soviet Union wreaking devastation on America not only terrified U.S. officials, but also created an enormous quandary for strategy. *Here’s What You Need to Know: *Throughout the 1950s and into the 1960s, the U.S. government vacillated between plans that called for evacuating cities and ones that centered around building fallout shelters to allow urban areas to ride out the attacks. America emerged from World War II as the most powerful nation on earth. Not only did it produce half of the world’s economic output, but it was...
