Egyptian commander reveals plan if Sisi’s ‘red line’ was crossed in Libya
[image: Egyptian commander reveals plan if Sisi’s ‘red line’ was crossed in Libya] BEIRUT, LEBANON (2:45 P.M.) – Brigadier General of the Egyptian General Staff Mohamed Saad, an officer in the Airborne Forces, revealed that the paratroopers had carried out orders requested by President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi several months ago. He pointed out that the red line that Egyptian President Abde-Fattah El-Sisi talked about during his statements last year on Libya had been secured. He said, “We participated in the comprehensive operation – Sinai 2018 – with a large number of units in the no...

Craig, Is the BBC biased? - 16 hours ago
One of the main headlines on ITV's *News at Ten* last night was: Another hit to GDP as a result as the November lockdown, but the economy appears to be adjusting to the new normal. The economy shrinking by 2.6% in November was given over 3 minutes later in the bulletin, including a full report. BBC One's *News at Ten*, in contrast, didn't include it in its main headlines or give it a report but placed it as a minor news item lasting 40 seconds near the end of the bulletin. To add insult to injury, guess what that passing 40-second mention came straight after? A report from Simo...

Ex-US envoy to Syria calls on Biden to continue Trump’s Middle East policies
[image: Ex-US envoy to Syria calls on Biden to continue Trump’s Middle East policies] Jim Jeffrey has penned an article in Foreign Affairs magazine urging President-elect Joe Biden to stay the course on Donald Trump’s Middle East policy, encouraging him to avoid George W. Bush and Barack Obama-style nation-building and “endless wars,” and to focus on “containing” Russia and Iran and “fighting terror” instead. “Both US Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama pursued transformational campaigns in the Middle East based on the erroneous belief that by burrowing politically and milit...

Facts matter
Craig, Is the BBC biased? - 17 hours ago
Charlie pointed out a CNN correction yesterday: *CNN correction: *A previous version of this story misstated that Rep. Ted Lieu grabbed a crowbar before leaving his office. He grabbed a ProBar energy bar. "This is how MSM can get stories badly wrong", he wrote. "It’s amusing but also concerning. CNN today corrected a story about the storming of Capitol Hill. Facts matter." Less funny, but just as concerning is *this* from the BBC's Corrections and Clarifications page. I count three things that the BBC had to 'correct' and 'clarify' here, from just one programme - which is quite ...

Why Was the USS Wasp Not a Good Aircraft Carrier?
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *History, Americas* [image: By U.S. Navy photo 80-G-12240, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=49994] There were several problems and limitations with the warship. *Key point: *An international treaty limited certain aspects of ship design and that impacted the Wasp. In fact, it would even doom the ship when it later went to war. The U.S. Navy rose to prominence during World War II from just one of many major naval powers to the undisputed greatest in just four short years. This was in large part due to the expansion and effective use o...

How Good Is the Kel-Tec KSG-25 Shotgun?
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.keltecweapons.com/firearms/shotguns/ksg/] There are the pros and cons to this vaunted shotgun. *Key point: *The Kel-Tec does a good job and actually carries a lot of ammo. However, this niche weapon is not for everyone. The Kel-Tec KSG-25 bullpup shotgun, however, flips conventional wisdom on its head, producing a shotgun that can store an astounding forty-one shots of ammunition internally. The KSG-25’s design makes it by far the largest capacity shotgun on the civilian market and aunique addition to a gun owner’s collect...
100-Years Old: The M1911 is Still Beloved by U.S. Soldiers
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * The 1911 was designed with a new handgun cartridge, .45 ACP, in mind. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The handgun certainly is powerful, and it’s 7+1 ammunition capacity allows for more firepower than a revolver. Its reputation as a bucking “hand cannon” is often overstated as the 1911A1’s heavy steel frame tends to soak up much recoil. Recoil is more like a firm push, in contrast to the whip of lighter polymer frame handguns firing smaller caliber ammunition. The 1911 semiautomatic pistol was invented by John Moses Browning, one of the most succ...
Race Was Central to the U.S. Capitol Attack
Mohammed Ayoob, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Mohammed Ayoob* *Security, Americas* Trump’s nihilistic rhetoric and false claims only accentuated an underlying fear whose main cause has little to do with economics or political ideology and much to do with race. The attack on the US Capitol on 6 January has been interpreted in multiple ways. The most common interpretation asserts that President Donald Trump’s narcissistic obsessions and highly inflammatory rhetoric were responsible for the sordid events of that day. A second interpretation attributes the mayhem to the high degree of party political and ideological polarisatio...
The Cambridge Five: Russia's World War II Spy Network in Britain
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* In WWII, the espionage activities of the Cambridge spies resulted in a wealth of intelligence for the Soviets. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The lasting effect of the Cambridge Spies was a deep distrust between the intelligence services of the United States and Great Britain. In the modern era, the majority of those accused of spying have done so for monetary purposes—the quick acquisition of wealth as opposed to ideological or philosophical reasons. However, that was not the case with what is credited as being the most important esp...

Saturday Snippet: Things Cops Know
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 19 hours ago
Police work is often a closed book to many of us. So much goes on that can't be described to outsiders, because it's too brutal, or too agonizing, or too gut-wrenching. As a result of this and other factors, cops carry a terrible load of stress, resulting in much higher divorce and suicide rates than most other professions. In an attempt to help the rest of us understand how cops think and feel about their job, Adam Plantinga wrote a book titled "400 Things Cops Know: Street-Smart Lessons from a Veteran Patrolman". It was very successful, so he followed it a few years later...

In Reality, What is Common Law?
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This is a reminder that such does exist. The state is rather unimportant in its implimentation and it really does need to fall back on the natural community and its chosen magistrate. We ultimately need to revert to this approach. whole bodies of enacted law would be better served or disserved at that community level and can be reversed by exiting the community and forcing a more formal platform. THe fact is that dispute is a human trait usually calling for a somewhat neutral umpire. . *In Reality, What is Common Law || Joosse Wolter* *Thursday, January 14, 2021* *By Joosse...

Disaster on the Sittang: How Japanese Forces Smashed the 17th Indian Division in Burma

*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* The 17th Indian Division was virtually destroyed in combat against the Japanese in the Burmese jungle in 1942. *Here's What You Need to Know*: When it was all over, the 17th Indian Division was thoroughly wrecked. The Japanese looked unstoppable. Two divisions of the 15th Army had crossed from Thailand into Burma in mid-January 1942, bent on capturing Rangoon before the British could land reinforcements and block the seizing of the Burma Road.
