Bombs in a Shipping Container? One Almost Destroyed Spain’s Entire Navy
Steve Weintz, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Steve Weintz* *Security, Europe* It was called the ‘Hellburner.’ *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Tactically, the hellburners had limited effect. The Dutch were so stunned by the explosion they failed to capitalize on the Spaniards’ disarray. Within months the Spanish Empire rebuilt the great wooden barricade and stepped up its siege. Antwerp fell the following year in 1585. Some of the largest non-nuclear explosions on record — in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1917, Port Chicago, California in 1944 and Texas City, Texas in 1947 — involved huge accidental blasts at harbors and abo...
How the Soviet-American Nuclear Arms Race Reshaped Planet Earth
Steve Weintz, The National Interest - 1 hour ago

The Bomb represents the ultimate expression of might, so the biggest bombs express that power to its extremes. The United States and the Soviet Union built bigger and bigger bombs to deter each other. Eventually, Washington stopped testin...
Multinational Corporations Are “Quasi-Private” Property
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 1 hour ago
The multinational companies are not private property; they are “quasi-private” property, which is the property that symbolizes political power—they are part of the global ruling class, the geopolitical establishment. I make this assertion based on for four reasons: first, these companies have a turnover higher than the GDP of most small and middle sized countries; second, as they operate in multiple countries, some of which are democracies, while others have a communist system or a Middle East type theocratic system, they tend to develop a globalist worldview which sees no differenc...

Fear is a child's vice and while I loved to feel it approach, as one does with any vice, it was not for grown men and the only thing to be afraid of was the presence of true and imminent danger in a form that you should be aware of and not be a fool if you were responsible for others.” - Ernest Hemingway, "True at First Light”

Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP *Anne Gearan and Ashley Parker, SFGate/The Washington Post*: *Biden tells the world 'America is back.' The world isn't so sure. * WASHINGTON - For President Joe Biden and his circle, a low point in America's global standing under President Donald Trump came when he blew up a meeting of U.S. allies in 2018, accusing close partners of "robbing" the United States and hurling insults at his Canadian host. So it was no accident that Biden's push to r...

War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 6 hours ago
Kelley Aerospace *Futurism*: *Three Words: Supersonic. Combat. Drones. * SKYNET in the sky basically. A Singapore-based aerospace company has developed a combat drone capable of reaching supersonic speeds.

That means the drone can fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in a little over three hours — all while breaking the sound barrier. Oh, and: It looks, ...

George Galloway: I'm Voting Tory
Phil, All That Is Solid ... - 6 hours ago
A putative leftist voting Tory? What kind of mixed up place is this? Welcome to the convoluted world view of Labourist unionism as manifested by our old friend George Galloway. Getting himself trending on the Twitter, he announced to the interested how he'll be voting Tory in the constituency section of the coming Holyrood elections. This is followed by a punt for his Alliance for Unity vehicle, itself an ego mobile *and* a popular frontist, um, front for his Stalin-worshipping Britnat sect, the Workers Party of Britain. To think he has the *chutzpah* to call others out for abandon...

Why American Exceptionalism Abroad Requires Criminal Justice Reform
Marc Levin, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Marc Levin* *Security, Americas* On the surface, national security and criminal justice policy may seem to be otherwise unrelated, but in fact, some of the major foreign policy lessons Americans have learned apply in great measure to justice reform. Foreign policy scholars debate the concept of American exceptionalism, but with more than 20 percent of the world’s prisoners and only five percent of the world’s population, the United States has long been without doubt the exception on criminal justice. Being so out of step with other developed democracies has undermined our standi...
Resisting Russia
John Herbst, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*John Herbst* *Russia, Europe* At some point in the next generation, the Kremlin will realize that the United States is not its principal national security challenge. AS SURELY as geese fly south every autumn, the arrival of a new American president resounds with calls for a new policy toward Moscow. To be sure, there have been mistakes in the policies of our past two presidents toward the Kremlin. President Barack Obama thought that he could diminish the national security dangers emanating from Moscow by declaring Russia a mere regional power and naively suggesting that its aggr...

Attacking a U.S. Aircraft Carrier Could Be the Last Thing You Ever Do
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, * Aircraft carriers remain formidable naval assets. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Damaging or sinking a carrier could result in a much stronger U.S. commitment to the conflict, as well as a U.S. decision to escalate either vertically (by using additional weapon systems) or horizontally (by widening the geographic scope of the fight). Sinking a carrier would be a great way to turn a limited war into a major war. Since the 1950s, the supercarrier has been the most visible representation of U.S. military power and maritime hegemony. Although superca...
Part Battleship, Part Carrier: The Lost History of the "Battlecarrier"
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *History, * Some of the U.S. Navy's ideas to transform World War II battleships would have produced incomparably strong yet strange ships. *Here's What You Need to Know:* The U.S. Navy came to the conclusion that is was better to have battleships concentrate on firing massive artillery shells at the enemy rather than taking on multiple operational roles. In the early 1980s, four Iowa-class fast battleships originally built during World War II—*Iowa, Missouri, New Jersey, and Wisconsin*—were taken out of mothballs and returned to active duty. Nearly 900 feet long ...
