What's So Bad About the UAE Having F-35s?
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 26 minutes ago
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] the decision is not without controversy, as some lawmakers and senior Israeli leaders have voiced considerable concern that an F-35 sale to the UAE would jeopardize Israeli security, in light of the well-known history of Arab-Israeli tensions in the region. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The big question is whether selling the F-35s will jeopardize Israel's security. Fortunately, Israel and the UAE are presently on excellent terms, making a successful F-35 sale much more likely. Arming the United Arab Emirates (UAE) wi...
India's Best Anti-Tank Missile is Headed to the Himalayas
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 26 minutes ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Asia* [image: Wikimedia Commons] In 2018, the Indian Defence Ministry had cleared the acquisition of 300 Nag missiles and 25 NAMICAs for the Indian Army. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The NAG missile looks impressive. It's over twenty years old, but has undergone continuous upgrades during that time, and continues to undergo testing. India and China have continued to move men and material to the Ladakh Valley near the Line of Actual Control before winter sets in, and this has included a significant number of tanks and other armored vehicles.

India Claims It Can 'Track' China's J-20 Stealth Fighter
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 26 minutes ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* How worried should Beijing be? *Here's What You Need to Know*: A 2011 analysis by Australian aviation expert Carlo Kopp concluded that J-20 probably had strong stealth from a frontal aspect, but a larger radar cross section (RCS) when scanned from the side or rear. In January 2011, the maiden flight of a large, dagger-like grey jet announced that China had developed its first stealth aircraft—the Chengdu J-20 “Mighty Dragon.” Six years later, after several substantial revisions, J-20s entered operational service with the People’s Liberation Ar...
A Russia-China Aircraft Carrier Alliance?
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 26 minutes ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, Asia* It appears that China is relying on Russian know-how and experience to develop the reactor for its first nuclear aircraft carrier. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The idea of using Russian technical data and nuclear know-how certainly makes sense from the perspective of the People’s Liberation Army Navy. The PLAN doesn’t have the luxury of the incremental approach adopted by the United States, and has good reason to find the French approach insufficient to its needs. It appears that China is relying on Russian know-how and experience to devel...

War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 1 hour ago
Reuters *James Holmes, 1945:* *China Seems Ready For A Fight Over Taiwan * For decades China-watchers have debated what form a People’s Liberation Army (PLA) offensive against Taiwan might take. An onslaught seems to be coming. Saying no to a cross-strait union is not an option Chinese Communist Party (CCP) supremo Xi Jinping means to grant the islanders. Beijing wrote its threat to use force into law back in 2005. Xi regularly reminds everyone that the party’s patience is finite. It seems the only question is timing. Nor, however, is Xi likely to cow Taipei officialdom or ordinar...

The Divine is Compassionless
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 1 hour ago
The man who expects the Divine to be compassionate is a sinner who expects the Divine to break His own laws. The notion that the Divine is compassionate is a rumor propagated by the morally degenerate and theologically ignorant religious authorities who want to gain power by selling compassion to the gullible and frightened sinners. The Divine is not compassionate; His standard of justice is immutable. Chance events are possible, but miracles are not.

Russia's Su-47 Berkut Was a Dud. Or Was It?
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 2 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Eurasia* [image: Wikimedia Commons] A case can be made for what the demonstrator aircraft introduced, explaining why it is often described as a precursor to Russian’s much stealthier 5th Generation PAK FA Su-57 fighter jet. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *While the Su-47 never truly succeeded, it introduced several key concepts in aerodynamics and aircraft design that would later be found on the next Sukhoi plane, the Su-57. Did the never produced Russian Su-47 'Berkut' fighter accomplish anything of significance? It is an interesting question, give...

Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 2 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Space* U.S. Space Force Commander General John Raymond likened the Space Force’s relationship to the Air Force to the Marine Corps’ connection to the Navy: united yet distinct at the same time. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Then there is the issue of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), interceptors and space-traveling technologies such as kill vehicles, many of which fall within the Pentagon’s Missile Defense Agency.

Thanks to the French Foreign Legion, the MAT-49 Has Fought Around the World
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *History, Europe* Though not made for exclusively French Foreign Legion service, the MAT-49 was particularly well-suited to meet their needs. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Despite the MAT-49’s limited range it’s cheap construction and rugged design kept it relevant for over a generation, in some of the world’s most rugged conditions.

History will judge Trump -- Conrad Black
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 4 hours ago
"Richard Nixon was one of the most talented, successful presidents in history but remains in the dungeon of sanctimonious hypocrisy in which the media imprisoned him. Barack Obama glows still in his suave, stylish personification of America’s rejection of racism and embrace of the fundamental equality of all men; he was the conjuration of Jefferson the slaveholder’s egalitarian vision. Yet, Obama was in fact (and will be seen by history to have been) a mediocre, below-average president. All he produced was Obamacare (which was unsuccessful), the "green" tyranny (which was nonsens...

Cornell University Makes Flu Vaccination Mandatory – but Only for White Students

Comments by Brian Shilhavy - Editor of Health Impact News: "This news report is another example of how vaccines are not about 'health' or 'disease prevention,' but part of the eugenics movement for social engineering and population control." Because of “historical injustices and current events,” Cornell University will grant an exemption from the requirement for all students to get a flu vaccination for “people of color.” Most of us are far too logical to follow the reasoning of this exemption.

One of the most miraculous abilities of Donald John Trump, a man who for the last four years has played a fake president as successfully as he played a fake successful businessman for NBC, is his inexhaustible capacity to find lackeys, especially attorneys, who still believe that Trump will, when the chips are down for them, fix things for them. That he'll show a baseline of loyalty that's the domain of the common dog that Trump loathes so much. The late Roy Cohn thought he was That Guy. If you know anything about mid 20th century American history, you'll note that Co...
