*Caleb Larson* *Russian Air Force, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_RC1F56D909B0&share=true] Moscow has four very impressive airframes to keep an eye on. *Key point: *Moscow has modernized many of its planes and is working on the rest. Moreover, Russia hopes to build completely new weapons of war. Most military equipment in Russian arsenals today is legacy Soviet hardware. Russian bombers are no exception. Although some airframes in Russian inventories are quite old, they remain potent thanks to airframe, electronics and rad...
North Korea Tried to Help Syria Become a Nuclear Powerhouse
Marcel Serr, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Marcel Serr* *Syria North Korea, Asia* As soon as Jerusalem was fairly certain that Syria was on the verge of activating a nuclear reactor, Israel discussed the next steps with Washington. Under no circumstances should an enemy state be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons. That is a fundamental doctrine of Israel’s security policy shaped by Prime Minister Menachem Begin at the end of the 1970s. To this day, Jerusalem has tried to act accordingly – mainly in regard to Iran. For many years, military analysts around the globe have speculated about an Israeli air strike against the ...
Russia vs. America: 5 Times a Nuclear Holocaust Nearly Happened
Tom Nichols, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Tom Nichols* *Nuclear War, World* These crises were very dangerous and nearly got out of hand. A nuclear war almost happened many times. *Key point: *Every one of these crises could have resulted in a global conflagration. During the Cold War, “crisis” had a special connotation, because each moment of political conflict raised the possibility of nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union. Every confrontation carried the potential not only for war, but for the extermination of human civilization. While we look back on these periods now as something like curios i...
Opium War: The Conflict That Changed China Forever
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Chinese History, Asia* The wars were fought to open China to foreign trade, including the selling of drugs. *Key point: *London instigated a war of aggression against China in order to force an inequal treaty. Seeing their success, other major imperial powers soon followed suit. In 1839, England went to war with China because it was upset that Chinese officials had shut down its drug trafficking racket and confiscated its dope. Stating the historical record so plainly is shocking — but it’s true, and the consequences of that act are still being felt today. ...
NATO vs. Putin: What a Russian Invasion of the Baltics Could Look Like
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Europe* In the end, no clever strategy can change the fact that Russia is big and the Baltic states are small. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: **Despite popular resistance, an authoritarian nation like Russia might simply choose to absorb the costs of occupying all or parts of the Baltic states. Russia’s hybrid-warfare strategy, using a low-cost mixture of local irregulars backed by special forces and some regular troops, would be a relatively low cost way of seizing Baltic territory. In the end, no clever strategy can change the fact that Russia is ...

A-10 Pilots Told Us Why the Warthog Cannot Be Stopped
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 4 hours ago

Here is why it remains an excellent plane and one that is hard to kill. Known for an ability to keep flying after taking multiple rounds of enemy machine gun fire, land and operate in rugged terrain, destroy groups of enemy fighters with a 30mm cannon and unleash a wide arsenal of attack weapons, the A-10 is d...
Meet Imperial Japan’s Secret Jet Fighter: The Nakajima Kikka
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *World War II History, Asia* [image: Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=794085] Like the Nazi Me-262, this jet plane was too little, too late. *Key point: *Imperial Japan also turned to wonder weapons to try and win an unwinnable war. Here is how Tokyo placed its hoped in the Kikka. It is a fallacy that Germany was the only nation to develop combat jets in World War II. In truth, while Germany had the most advanced technology, all of the major powers had jet aircraft projects during World War II, including the United States, Britain, Ru...

*Michael Peck* *History, Asia* The Doolittle Raid seventy-five years ago was more than one of history’s most momentous air attacks. It was also one of the most economical. *Here’s What You Need to Remember:​* *What really shamed the Japanese military was the failure to prevent an American carrier task force from sailing close to the homeland. Such an error could not be tolerated. Japan’s original plan for winning the Pacific War had been to seize a huge swath of territory, which would be fortified into a defensive perimeter against which America would futilely butt its head befor...

Title X funds are designed to support family planning and are currently prohibited from being used to pay for abortions.
