Why Is Germany's Military Weak?
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 18 minutes ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_UP1EF7O16GU07&share=true] Most German tanks and planes simply do not work. *Key point : *It is as if Berlin has given up any serious commitment to its own security. The military is small and underfunded to a shocking degree. The modern German armed forces, or Bundeswehr, were created just ten years after the end of World War II. Cold war tensions and the presence of Soviet troops in East Germany, Czechoslovakia and Poland made a West German defense force necessary. ...

* NC State’s Quixotic Foreign Language Requirement* For decades, universities have required students to fulfill a foreign language requirement. However, some research has shown that two semesters of a foreign language appears to have no meaningful effect on the language proficiency of college graduates. Putting students through language classes adds to their tuition bill, but doesn’t teach them a new skill for their careers. In North Carolina, the University of North Carolina schools require two years of a foreign language during high school for admission. For certain majors, suc...

Retired Generals Rarely Lead the Pentagon: Here's Why
Dwight Stirling, The National Interest - 2 hours ago
*Dwight Stirling* *Politics, The Americas* The fact that Austin’s extensive military experience is clouding his prospects raises the question of why the seven-year delay exists in the first place. By all accounts, retired Army Gen. Lloyd Austin, President-elect Joe Biden’s pick to lead the U.S. Defense Department, is eminently qualified to be secretary of defense. A man who achieved the rank of four-star general and succeeded at every turn during his 40-year career, Austin displayed valor and courage while serving the country for nearly half a century. Ironically, though, Austin...
The Kargil War Could Have Become the First Truly Nuclear War

*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* As early as May, Pakistan warned that it might resort to “any weapon” should the Kargil War continue to escalate. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *India and Pakistan had been to war three times already, and tensions between the two have remained high. For years, there was a conceit that no two states with nuclear weapons have ever directly fought each other. That conceit has at times been thin.

Testing The "Systemic Racism" Narrative
Francis Menton, Manhattan Contrarian - 3 hours ago
* How do you establish that a hypothesis is true? According to numerous explainers of the scientific method, starting with philosopher Karl Popper, the best you can do is to try to prove the hypothesis false, and fail. By this method — the scientific method — you can never definitively establish “truth” of a hypothesis, but over time you can get close. * Of course, we now live in the era of official narratives permanently immunized from attempts at falsification, nevertheless incorrectly claiming the mantle of “science.” . . . * For today, let’s consider applying this logical method ...

Do Americans Still Trust One Another?

*Samuel J. Abrams* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] While trust in the federal government is low, trust in one’s neighbors is comparatively high.
