*Peter Suciu* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2016%3Anewsml_S1AETKVBGJAA&share=true] The F-18 can take on many roles and replaced the venerable F-14 Tomcat.

Over the years, the platform has been steadily improved and in 1999 the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet entered service with the U.S. Navy as replacement ...
Russia's Sputnik V Vaccine: How Latin America Will Protect Itself from Coronavirus?
Lillian Posner, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Lillian Posner* *Russia's Sputnik V Vaccine, Americas* Russia understands the value of soft power, and wields it appropriately, at least in the context of global health. Meanwhile, America is falling behind because it has been flying Donald Trump’s tattered banner of “America First.” Although the forthcoming coronavirus vaccines are good news for the United States, it is arriving late to the global vaccination party. Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine was announced well before it was proven and ready, but its rollout has been underway since August, and that premature beginning has boug...

Huge Study Of 50 Years Of Tax Cuts For The Wealthy
