Suez Canal news — live: Ship makes 3,500nm Cape of Good Hope detour to avoid ‘weeks-long’ Ever Given blockage
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
I did not at first think that this would be much of a problem. It is actually worse than that. Remember the Tide? The tidal stroke here is around four to five feet. That means that at high tide the ship snuggles into the sand at either end and then settles in as the tide leaves. Do this sevaral times and you are going no where. After two days, it is clear that the tugs cannot pull either end free or it would have happened. Right now, I would start unloading containers into the desert as quickly as possible using a barge and crane system and get the weight of the center. A...
FBI Stats Show Knives Kill Far More People Than Rifles In America – It’s Not Even Close
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
The reality is simple. Anyone planning to kill a lot of folks, will pick the best weapon for the job. Today that weapon is the AR- 15. Trouble is that plenty of alternatives exist. A rifle is chosen because the attacker wants range. The real alternative is any old hunting rifle in skilled hands. My real point is that you can not ban your way to an option free environment. After the loss of rifles we are back to short range handguns, also large mags and automatic. Then ladies, it is close and personal with knives. When any damn jailbird can produce an illegal shive, the...
This High Schooler Invented Color-Changing Sutures to Detect Infection
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This is a promising departure. It may mean converting a current suture material mechanically in order to use the dye. On the other hand, a deep infection cannot be reached by any such method, nor should that even be a goal. Infection risk is typically external and an interior risk arose because it was brought about during surgury. Your best chance there is temperature monitoring. This is the mis placed swab problem. The point is that all surgury leaves a surface closure and using a sensitive dye is excellent practise and needs to be supported as a global solution. *This High...

Why Pakistan and North Korea Still Love China’s Old Type 59 Tank
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Type 59 Tank, Asia* The basic Type 59 served for almost two decades with very little modification. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Type 59s are very common in North Korean service, with plenty of variants developed there. It also was provided to both Iran and Iraq, Pakistan, and various other nations. Pakistan is the largest user of the Type 59 outside of China, fielding more than one thousand examples.

Imagine: What If America Had Never Toppled Saddam’s Iraq?
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *History, Middle East* The biggest change likely comes in a reassertion of the traditional reticence of the American public towards foreign military intervention. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The enduring cost of the Iraq invasion comes in the form of the thousands of dead Americans, and hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis. Technology shortfalls driven by the war will smooth out over time; the war didn’t cause the U.S. to “miss out” on any critical technological opportunities, instead simply delaying them.

Battlefield Nukes: Russia’s 2A3 Nuclear Artillery was a Crazy Weapon
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *History, History* In the early Cold War, the Americans and Soviets both went a little nuclear crazy. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The range was also found to be lacking relative to nuclear rockets or modern tactical missiles. As a result, production of the 2A3 was cut off after only four units were produced in favor of newer nuclear rocket such as the Luna (FROG-7). These missile systems were far more mobile and compact relative to the massive 2A3 and had almost triple the range at seventy kilometers. In the 1950s, both NATO and Warsaw Pact doctrine focused...
"Let Them Eat Woke"
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 20 hours ago
*"Let Them Eat Woke"* by Simon Black "On October 6, 1789, a group of French peasants surrounded the country estate of King Louis XVI of France and demanded that he and his family relocate to Paris. The people were sick and tired of the king living the luxurious palace lifestyle at their expense. And, fearing what might happen if he refused, Louis consented to their demand. The French Revolution was already well underway at that point, sparked in large part by people’s disgust with their out-of-touch aristocracy. France had been rendered bankrupt by the late 1700s; decades of costly...

Israel Is All In On the F-15 and F-16 Fighters (And Makes Them Better)
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Israeli Air Force, Middle East* Israel operates what may be the world’s largest fleet F-16s. They also have many F-15s, which serve as compact, long-range bombers. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Rather than serving as a fighter, Israel decided to take advantage of the F-15 family’s twin engines and high payload capacity to serve as a sort of compact but long-range strategic bomber that could be successful in a ground-attack role.

F-22 Raptor: The Best Fighter Jet that Is Never Actually Used in Battle
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, * If the F-22 is truly as dominant a piece of tech as experts claim, why has it never been meaningly deployed in a military situation? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The F-22 has enjoyed the unusual distinction of holding an almost universally acknowledged dominance in the core air superiority mission for over a decade, and yet has not participated in a consequential way in any military conflict. It is the world’s best boxer, and yet can find no one to fight. The F-22 has been the world’s most formidable air superiority fighter since it first ent...

*Robert Farley* *History, Europe* They served with honor in every theater of World War II. *Key point: *Before carriers reigned supreme, battleships are all the rage. And, as a traditional major sea power, London decided to build some pretty big and powerful battleships. In an effort to take advantage of the superiority of the Royal Navy in World War I, First Sea Lord John “Jackie” Fisher developed a scheme to land British troops in Pomerania, thus directly threatening Berlin and forcing the Germans to withdraw troops from the Western Front. To this end, Fisher authorized the de...
Tank Tussle: Is Israel’s Merkava Tank The Best on the Planet?
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Merkava, Middle East* The Merkava IV and M1A2 are both designed according to different national doctrines and operational requirements. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *Israel and America both make wonderful tanks. However, they are also made for different missions and the Merkava is more specialized. The Israeli *Merkava *(Chariot) main battle tank is an example of a sophisticated weapon system designed to deal with very specific national requirements. Though similar in performance to Western main battle tanks such as the German Leopard 2 and American M1...

Man Overboard? How Italy Nearly Sank Britain’s Strongest Battleships
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *History, Europe* This is what happened when the Italians decided to get creative. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The British took elaborate steps to hide evidence of the damage, but *Queen Elizabeth* took nine months to repair, *Valiant* six. At a stroke, the Italians had eliminated two of the Royal Navy’s most powerful units from the Mediterranean, at very little cost to themselves. Mussolini’s effort to seize control of the Mediterranean had, by late 1941, largely ended in failure. The success of the Royal Navy in the raid on Taranto and at the Battle of...
F-22 Shutdown: Did America Make a Huge Mistake by Not Ordering More?

*TNI Staff* *U.S. Air Force, Americas* [image: U.S. Air Force] Sadly, it is now impossible and expensive to restart the F-22 stealth fighter jet production line and America is stuck with a smaller number of them. *Key point: *These powerful stealth fighter jets are arguably the best in the world. However, after the Cold War Congress cut the number due to rising costs. A 2017 Pentagon report to Congress detailing production retail costs for Lockheed Martin’s F-22 Raptor show that reviving the powerful stealth air superiority fighter would be prohibitively expensive.

VIDEO: Did an Islamic Jihad Drone Drop a Bomb on an Israeli Tank?
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, * Islamic Jihad claimed credit for the attack, but not everyone gives credence to their assertion. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The problem is one of asymmetry. Israel has sophisticated, expensive drones designed to attack heavily defended targets in Iran or Syria. For organizations like Hamas or Hezbollah, merely dropping a bomb on an Israeli town or tank – even if it does no damage – is a political victory. Did an Islamic Jihad drone drop a bomb an Israeli tank outside Gaza in 2019? Islamic Jihad, a violent group based in Hamas-controlled Gaza...

That case imposed a big limitation on the state law of libel, said to be based on the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. * The law of libel — which is a matter of state rather than federal law, and mostly of common law rather than statutory law — generally allows a plaintiff to sue someone who harms his reputation by publishing false statements about him.

One of the fundamental themes of Heidegger’s philosophy is the difference between truth as the “unhiddenness of beings” (coherence theory of truth) and truth as “correctness of propositions” (correspondence theory of truth).
