Why Russian Navy Ships Made a Pitstop in Greece
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 3 minutes ago
*Peter Suciu* *Russia, Eurasia* The Russian warships will reportedly stay at the Greek port for three days, and this marks the fourth country that the large anti-submarine warship ship has visited during its long-distance Mediterranean deployment. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The *Vice-Admiral Kulakov* is currently operational in the ASW Brigade of the Northern Fleet’s Kola Flotilla of All-Arms Forces based in Severomorsk. She regularly participates in long-distance deployments to the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, the Mediterranean Sea and the Arctic. This week the Russian ...
From Battlefield to Museum: The DarkStar Stealth Drone was Underwhelming
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 3 minutes ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Americas* Earlier this year, the United States Air Force announced that it would cut the fleet of its Global Hawk spy drones. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *All three of the surviving prototypes are now housed in various aviation museums including the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio; and the Museum of Flight in Seattle; while the fourth prototype, which never flew, is currently held in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., but is not currently on display. ...
The U.S. Military is Debating How to Defend Foreign Bases
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 3 minutes ago
*Kris Osborn* *U.S. Military, * China and Russia are preparing to destroy them. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *“What systems will we use that we are not using today, as we look to the future to be light, lean and agile. There will not be enough Patriot and THAAD to go around. How do you buy down the risk and get ahead of the cost curve?” Brown asked. The Pentagon is looking across the services to figure out ways to better defend forward-positioned bases, assets and forces from a growing sphere of highly sophisticated, long-range enemy attack threats.

Battleship Cove: Massachusetts Is Home To a Priceless Floating Museum Complex
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 3 minutes ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* Massachusetts’ Battleship Cove is a fitting tribute to U.S. Navy sailors. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Battleship Cove bills itself as "the world’s largest naval ship museum." Many associate Massachusetts with the Kennedy family, and its influence is evident at Battleship Cove. The World War II record of the Kennedys is a distinguished one. Lieutenant John F. Kennedy, who would later become president, was nearly killed fighting the Japanese in the South Pacific. Fittingly, an exhibition hall holds two PT boat specimens. *PT 617*, t...
Additional Testing is Delaying F-35 Production
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 3 minutes ago
*Peter Suciu* *F-35, Americas* It wouldn’t be the first time that the F-35 has seen delays. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *A full-rate production will be the final seal of approval from the DoD to American taxpayers as well as foreign customers that the fifth-generation advanced stealth jet fighter has been fully tested. More importantly, this approval would mean the aircraft has been deemed effective against threats from potential peer adversaries, while it is also able to meet its maintenance goals and production quotas. The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike ...

It's Time To Get To Know Joe Manchin
Francis Menton, Manhattan Contrarian - 1 hour ago
* For the past four years, the Republicans have held voting control of the U.S. Senate, but by very narrow margins. * Since 2017, the Republicans have had either 51, 52 or 53 seats, out of 100, at various times. That has meant that on any given vote, a handful of Republican defectors would be sufficient to sink whatever initiative was on the table. And thus a very small group of independent-minded Republican Senators — most prominently, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, and (until his death in 2018) John McCain of Arizona — held the keys to any R...

The "Constitutional Crisis" Has Finally Arrived
Sandy Levinson, Balkinization - 1 hour ago
In 2009, Jack Balkin and I published an article in the *University of Pennsylvania Law Review *on “constitutional crises.” Drawing on Machiavelli’s analysis of the ancient Roman constitution, we identified two basic forms of crisis. The first occurred when a political leader openly defied the law; the second, on the other hand, was typified by an almost thoughtless adherence to the law even when catastrophe threatened. As a matter of fact, American presidents—our main interest—have rarely if ever done the first. Abraham Lincoln came close during the Civil War, but he always prese...

A Non-Profit Tested Best Selling Pizza Chains for Gyphosate Residues. One Company Tested Far Worse Than the Others
Nick Meyer, AltHealthWorks.com - 6 hours ago
The pizza industry is not exactly home to the best quality ingredients by a long shot, especially when it comes to chain restaurants. While smaller mom-and-pop pizza chains are generally more likely to use high quality non-GMO ingredients from small, local food producers, the big guys on the block are notorious for products containing GMO soybean oil, cheese from cows fed genetically engineered grains, preservatives, additives, and much more. The one pizza chain that claims, at least in its advertising, to have a higher standard ingredients is pretty well known among pizza afi...
