How China Is Trying to Dominate and Control the South China Sea
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *South China Sea, Asia* [image: South China Sea] Why tensions are spiking: China has for many years now been building new island-like structures, adding airstrips, and placing weapons in and around highly disputed areas of the South China Sea. The Pentagon’s long-standing opposition to Chinese phony island-building, or “land reclamation,” in the South China Sea is based upon the definition of “island” as it is explained in the U.N. Convention Law of the Sea, an international agreement negotiated in the 1980s and updated in the 1990s. China has for many years now b...
Why the Army's Old M9 Barretta Gun Won't Go Away
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *military, * Yes, the old gun had some problems. But looked at as a whole, was an amazing sidearm. Beretta’s M9 was introduced during the Reagan era in 1985. It replaced the iconic M1911, which had been in service for nearly eight decades. Though the M1911 had a reputation for reliability, and excellent stopping power thanks to the large .45 ACP cartridge it was chambered in, it suffered from low magazine capacity, necessitating a replacement: the Beretta M9. Though the M1911 had mostly been phased out by the 1990s, one notable exception was the United States Mar...

Russia’s Su-57 Fighter May Not Be So Advanced After All
David Axe, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, Eurasia* Moscow makes good propaganda, but it does not always make good planes. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* The Su-57 is a mighty step forward, but it is not all Russia wants the world to think it is.

The Su-57 is beautiful. It's also too expensive for Russia to buy in meaningful numbers. In the November 2018 videos, produced by the Kremlin's Zvezda T.V., four o...
