Iran Is Trying to Get the World To Fear This Old Fighter Jet
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *F-5, * It doesn’t quite live up to Iran’s boasting of an “100% indigenously made” fighter jet. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The irony is that Tehran doesn’t need to be ashamed of its resourceful use of old jet fighters. In the nine-year-long Iran-Iraq war during the 1980s, Iranian fighter pilots fought one of the most intense air wars in recent history defending their home soil.

The Absurdity and Incapacity of Individualism
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 1 day ago
When an individualist takes part in a debate, doesn’t it show that he thinks that he can actually convince people to become individualists? He expects people to stop thinking for themselves and live in accordance to his specific positive opinion—in other words, he expects everyone, except himself, to be a collectivist. But this means that he is no longer an individualist; he is the founder of a collective, comprising of people who follow his opinion of individualism. The individualism of a man is lost in a swamp of irreconcilable contradictions, and leads to the formation of a utopi...

*Doug Bandow* *North Korea, Asia* Although North Korean defectors typically do not provide good policy advice regarding the DPRK, they are a useful reminder of the moral stakes in defusing the Korean confrontation. Defectors from North Korea deserve respect. Escaping the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is difficult enough. Getting somewhere safe, most often South Korea, is even harder. In recent years the North has dramatically toughened border controls, while Beijing sends defectors back to the DPRK. However, though defectors are brave, they understandably are focused on ...
