A Social Disease
Owen Gray, Northern Reflections - 18 hours ago
Republicans are objecting to some of Joe Biden's appointments. Jennifer Rubin writes that most of them are women of colour. For instance, they attacked Neera Tanden, President Biden’s nominee to head the Office of Management and Budget, declaring that her “allegiance is not to America and it’s not to President Biden, it’s to Secretary [Hillary] Clinton.” The Indian American, you see, is not loyal to this country. Other women of colour are in the Republicans' sights: The Post reports, “Many of the president’s Black, Latino, Asian and Native American nominees are encountering more p...

How We Got The Bikini And Learned To Hate The Bomb
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 21 hours ago
On March 1, 1954, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and the Department of Defense exploded a huge thermonuclear bomb on Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands, where they had been testing bombs since 1946. Between 1946 and 1958, the United States detonated 67 nuclear bombs in the Marshall Islands — vaporizing entire islands and exiling hundreds of people from their homes. One peculiar legacy of the U.S. nuclear testing was the introduction of the “bikini” swimsuit, named after the first two nuclear tests on Bikini atoll. French fashion designer Louis Reard hoped his new swimsuit sens...

War Mongering for Artificial Intelligence
barovsky, The New Dark Age - 21 hours ago
The ghost of Edward Teller must have been doing the rounds between members of the National Commission on Artificial Intelligence. The father of the hydrogen bomb was never one too bothered by the ethical niggles that came with inventing murderous technology. It was not, for instance, “the scientist’s job to determine whether a hydrogen bomb should be constructed, whether it should be used, or how it should be used.” Responsibility, however exercised, rested with the American people and their elected officials.

Emergency meal replacement "food": what's your experience?
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 21 hours ago
Commander Zero published an article yesterday about Soylent, which is apparently a meal replacement "milkshake", and a protein powder supplement.

Some of his readers chimed in with comments about their experiences. There's another, similar product called Huel that some recommended.

How a Navy Warship Could Soon Kill a Hypersonic or Nuclear Missile
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC2WCE9ITSW4&share=true] The missile defense of many destroyers is about to get a whole lot better. Japanese and Canadian warships are evolving their maritime missile defense posture to expand the envelope at which it can detect and destroy incoming missiles, hypersonic weapons and even intercontinental ballistic missiles ( ICBMs). To accomplish this, their warships are integrating a new high-powered, more sensitive ship-based radar system engineered to achieve longer ra...
These 5 Killer Missiles Could Sink Any Navy Warship
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Technology, * Navies all around the world must worry about increasingly advanced anti-ship missiles. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Ship-to-ship naval warfare is back. After decades of rapid innovation, the end of the Cold War and the subsequent Global War on Terror all but halted anti-ship missile development in the West. A focus on land operations in the Middle East and Central Asia sent Western navies struggling for relevance. As a result, navies adopted an emphasis towards supporting land forces and operating in the littoral zone. For the most part, ship to...
Can the U.S. Navy Someday Kill ICBMs in the Sky?
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Americas* The military has been testing new missiles and radar while working on scalable lasers. The military wants lasers that travel from warships into space, new interceptor missiles able to knock out enemy intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) beyond the earth’s atmosphere and an entirely new generation of ship-integrated radar. All of these are all fast-informing ongoing Navy and Missile Defense Agency (MDA) work to expand the defensive capabilities of ships at sea.

Alfa: These Speedy Russian Submarines Had One Serious Flaw
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, * They were not particularly quiet. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Alfas strained even the massive Soviet submarine building budget. The Soviet Union began the Cold War well behind the United States in submarine technology. Although the Soviets acquired several of the most advanced German submarine types towards the end of the war, the United States had amassed a wealth of experience in submarine and antisubmarine practice from the Pacific War and the Battle of the Atlantic. Combined with other technological advantages, the United States leapt out...
Yes, China and Russia Could Take Out an Aircraft Carrier
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, World* [image: Reuters] Here is how these two major powers could hold American warships at risk. *Key point: *There are many modern weapons that could sink a ship. Some of those are well-known such as torpedos, but others are modern ultra-fast cruise missiles. Aircraft carriers have been the primary capital ship of naval combat since the 1940s, and remain the currency of modern naval power. But for nearly as long as carriers have existed, navies have developed plans to defeat them. The details of these plans have changed over time, but the principles ...
China’s Hypersonic Missiles Have One Goal: Beating U.S. Missile Defense
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Asia* These fast-emerging systems are specifically designed to improve space-based meshed networking to track fast-maneuvering enemy missiles, such as ICBMs or even hypersonic missiles at some point in the future. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *While referred to by the Chinese paper as a “mock target,” the ICBM was a Northrop-built trainer missile designed to very closely replicate an actual ICBM. It was in effect described as simply an “unarmed” ICBM. A Chinese newspaper is criticizing the recent successful intercept of a mock nuclear missile, in ...
Wargame Simulation: What Would a Second Korean War Look Like?
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* The death and destruction on both sides serve as a sobering reminder of what happens when large armies go to total war. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Seoul is only a day’s march (or an hour’s drive) from the DMZ, which makes defending it so hard. I bought a wargame called Next War: Korea, and I’m playing it right now. It cost me $80, and I believe it’s going to offer me some meaningful insight into how a real war in Korea might play out. The Korean peninsula is, acre for acre, one of the most heavily militarized places on earth. I expect casual...
Three Ways War Could Be Triggered Between China and Japan
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* If we can imagine scenarios in which wars might start, we can look at where vital interests intersect and work to avoid them. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Armed conflict often starts by accident. China and Japan have gone to war three times since 1894. At the end of the Second World War, with Japan in ruins and under Allied control, it seemed unlikely the two countries would ever fight again. War between the two countries seemed even more unlikely after the adoption of Japan’s pacifist constitution, which disavows war as an instrument of natio...
Offshore Balancing Strategy Can Correct America’s Middle East Approach
Robert A. Manning, Peter A. Wilson, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Robert A. Manning, Peter A. Wilson* *Security, Middle East* A zero-based assessment of U.S. interests and policies in the Greater Middle East is long overdue. The new geostrategic map of the region, the legacy of failures, and the imperatives of great power competition require a new mindset. A GROWING chorus of critics, Right and Left, are calling for a greatly diminished role in the Middle East and its place in U.S. global strategy. Perhaps the most compelling was a confessional last year in the *Wall Street Journal* by Martin Indyk, a veteran Middle East hand and former ambas...
Getting Serious About Russia
Dimitri K. Simes, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Dimitri K. Simes* *Russia, Europe* The future of U.S.-Russia relations is largely America’s choice. If the United States cannot settle for anything short of unquestioned hegemony, Russia will indubitably prove a serious impediment, prepared to challenge it. RUSSIA IS a determined adversary of the United States. The Putin government, which has rebuilt the military, believes that Washington is leading a hostile endeavor designed to undermine its international positions and domestic stability. This determination to resist and challenge America is tempered by Moscow’s desire for a ...

Lawrence J. Haas, The National Interest - 21 hours ago

Republicans have expressed opposition to the COVID relief bill but don't seem to be going all out to block it. Paul Krugman is puzzled. What those of us who participated in economic debates during the early Obama years remember was the constant drumbeat of warnings that the new president’s policies would produce disaster. The Obama stimulus was considerably smaller than the Biden plan (indeed, much too small, but that’s another story). Yet not a week went by without loud claims that hyperinflation and a debt crisis were just around the corner. And Republicans also spent years denou...

A Political Junkie, Viable Opposition - 22 hours ago
Israel and its relationship with the West Bank and Gaza has taken a back seat to coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 United States presidential election. Unfortunately, Palestinians continue to suffer under the oppressive hand of Israel, particularly when it comes to their economy.

Slowly we're making changes--more for me than him, since he's always been careful and disciplined. So the other day I was reading about heart healthy goals, SMART, which are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-oriented. We can hit all those. I've lost 6 lbs., my blood pressure is down, and haven't had the salt shaker on the table for five days. *Salty crunchy is my go-to comfort food*. However, I recognized that's ho...

America's Aircraft Carriers Are Headed For Disaster
