Japan's Super Battleship Took Nearly 20 Bombs and Torpedoes Hits to Kill
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Robert Farley* *History, Asia* Although an elaborate sacrifice of carriers decoyed American battleships away from Leyte, Kurita’s attack on U.S. transports and escort carriers was foiled by the extraordinary courage of a few American destroyer captains. *Here's What You Need to Remember: **Over the years, a variety of reports of turned up on the expected successor classes to Yamato.

Russia Built a Mach 3 Super Bomber (Almost)
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, * It was meant to wipe out the U.S. Navy. Check out all of Moscow's military dreams. *Here's What You Need to Remember: **Many of the Soviet bombers of the post-war era were direct analogues to US types. The Tu-4, in fact, was a direct copy of captured American B-29s. The Sukhoi T-4 was the USSR’s answer to the B-70 Valkyrie. A massive, incredibly fast bomber capable of high altitude flight, the T-4 tested (and in many ways exceeded), the limits of the Soviet Union’s defense industry. Designed to hit Mach 3, with a service ceiling of around 70,000’,...

*ABC News (Australia):* *Will the coronavirus vaccines work against the new, fast-spreading UK strain?* At least four drug makers are rushing to confirm the efficacy of their COVID-19 vaccines against the new fast-spreading variant of the virus detected in the UK. The mutation known as the B.1.1.7 lineage may be up to 70 per cent more infectious and more of a concern for children. Moderna, Germany's CureVac, and Britain's AstraZeneca believe their shots, which target the virus that causes COVID-19 — SARS-CoV-2 — will also work against the new strain that has sown chaos in the ...
The Complex Foundation of Primitive Societies
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 2 hours ago
The primitive societies were not simple; the Stone Age cultures were built on a complex foundation of systems of beliefs and norms of behavior. The notion of supernatural forces predates religious theory; practical politics predates political theory; the codes of morality and acceptable behavior, predate moral theory; spoken language, predates the rules of grammar, syntax, and vocabulary; creation of various forms of art, predates the theory of aesthetics. Theory does not precede action; in most cases, the theory of any subject is developed centuries or even several millennia after ...
Dead Battleships: In 1940, the British Preemptively Sunk the French Navy

*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* [image: Wikimedia Commons] Most of the remaining French Fleet had been scuttled at Toulon on November 27, 1942, following the Allied invasion of North Africa, to prevent its seizure by Germany after the Nazi takeover of Vichy France. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The Mers-el-Kebir attack was, of course, received poorly in Vichy, and it led to lingering tensions between the British and the Free French, who, Vichy or otherwise, were the countrymen of the sailors that it had attacked.

History Question: Did France Surrender To Nazi Germany Prematurely?

*Robert Farley* *History, Europe* Even without foreknowledge of the German disaster in Russia, however, the French had meaningful means to resist Germany, and to continue to put pressure on the Nazi regime. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *France surrendered to the Nazis in 1940 for complex reasons. France surrendered to the Nazis in 1940 for complex reasons. The proximate cause, of course, was the success of the German invasion, which left metropolitan France at the mercy of Nazi armies.

TikTok on a mobile phone (Solen Feyissa, https://flic.kr/p/2jjP6YF; CC BY-SA 2.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/).

Why USS Missouri is Hands Down the Most Famous Battleship Ever

*Robert Farley* *Security, * It made appearances in Vietnam, Operation Desert Storm, and several movies. *Here's What You Need to Remember: **With the Cold War over, Missouri decommissioned in March 1992. The cost of maintaining the battleships in service, which required large crews and specialized training, was simply too much for the Navy to bear. It was struck from the Navy List in 1995 in anticipation for conversion into a museum ship. Its sisters Wisconsin and Iowa remained on the Navy List until early 2006. The viability of returning the ships to service was debated for mu...

Congress Passes $900 Billion Mitigation 2.0 Bill

As the 2020 year closes, Congress is about to pass a $900B Covid Relief spending bill. But make no mistake. It’s Senate leader Mitch McConnell’s proposal. And it will hardly dent the rapidly slowing US economy this 4th quarter and the increasingly forecasted coming double dip recession early next year. The new spending shouldn’t be confused as a ‘stimulus’ bill. It won’t stimulate the economy much, if at all. A stimulus requires significant net new spending. Most of the deal is just a continuation of past spending levels, and in some notable examples it’s a reduction in spending ...
