How the A-10 Warthog Got Its Iconic (and Deadly) Sound
Richard Douglas, The National Interest - 8 hours ago
*Richard Douglas* *U.S. Air Force A-10, Americas* [image: U.S. Air Force] This powerful ground-attack aircraft is a flying tank that comes with enough weaponry to terrorize any foe. You’re probably familiar with the A-10 warplane’s signature sound: a loud, buzzing burst of machine-gun fire from the skies. It’s as American as apple pie and has been a sight for sore eyes in countless military operations. The A-10 Thunderbolt, also known as the Warthog, has made quite a name for itself since it was put into use by the United States Airforce. Like a slew of other kinds of military te...
Inflation: Why You Might Want Not Love That $1,400 Stimulus Check
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 8 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *Inflation, Americas* [image: Stimulus Check] The coronavirus pandemic has caused an unconventional recession and recovering from it will be an atypical experience. The American Rescue Plan was signed by President Joe Biden in early March, and amid its numerous provisions, it did two major things. It injected $1.9 trillion into the economy, and it put $1,400 checks in the hands of most Americans. This move was meant to stimulate the economy, as did the checks that were distributed in 2020, under the previous administration, in order to give Americans a hand as ...
Need to Shoot a Target 1,000 Miles Away? The U.S. Army is On It.
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 8 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *U.S. Army Cannon, * Another step forward in the "precision revolution" offering ground commanders a wider array of options. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Over the years, artillery was thought of as an “area weapon” intended to blanket a target with suppressive fire to enable forces to reposition or maneuver on the battlefield. However, the advent of GPS-guided artillery with weapons such as the emergence of Excalibur shells in Iraq in 2007 reshaped this equation, introducing the tactical possibility of using 155mm artillery for pinpointed precision attack....
Rwanda Should Be the Model to Defeat Corruption
Michael Rubin, The National Interest - 8 hours ago
*Michael Rubin* *Rwanda, Africa* Today, Paul Kagame has virtually eradicated major corruption and Rwanda ranks on par with the Czech Republic and better than Italy and Greece. While terrorism affects dozens of people each year, corruption impacts billions. The U.S. government acknowledges as much. “Around the world, corruption saps economic growth, hinders development, destabilizes governments, undermines democracy, and provides openings for dangerous groups such as criminals, traffickers, and terrorists,” the State Department notes, adding, “The Department of State has made an...

*Assal Rad* *Iran JCPOA, Middle East* It may take some time to work out the details and get both parties back to full compliance, but in order to repair Trump’s foreign policy failures, Biden must remove Trump’s sanctions on Iran.

Though Washington and Tehran are not participating in direct talks yet, international allies and partners in the deal are acting as intermediaries in hopes of creating a ro...

What Skynet? People Trust Computers More Than Humans

Though it is common to complain that advertising is following you everywhere and algorithms control our news, it is instead the case that the more tedious or challenging a task becomes, the more humans trust computers instead. Not many people listen to 4,000 songs to create a playlist they like, they make a playlist with a few and let Spotify do the rest. A recent study involved 1,500 individuals evaluating photographs. The team asked volunteers to count the number of people in a photograph of a crowd and supplied suggestions that were generated by a group of other people and sugges...

Using their own proprietary consultant as the sole source for their "evaluation", US Fish and Wildlife Service once tried to extort up to $30 million from a private landowner in Louisiana, by stating they needed to created a habitat for an "endangered" frog and that was the only suitable location.
