Those of you who've been reading here for a while know that I'm very far from being a racist - quite the opposite, in fact. Nevertheless, I know that much of the critical race theory-driven drivel being spouted by progressive and left-wing administrations - local, state and national - is a tissue of lies from start to finish, particularly when it comes to blaming crime in black communities on racism.

There’s hope in the air, a scent of spring, anticipation of change, democracy may pull through. Why, then, with K-12 public schools, the broken promise, the dismay? Biden raised hopes when he promised, Dec 16, 2019, that he’d “commit to ending the use of standardized testing in public schools,” saying (rightly) that “teaching to a test underestimates and discounts the things that are most important for students to know.” Yet on Feb 22, his Department of Education did an about-face, announcing, “we need to understand the impact COVID-19 has had on learning …parents need information...
Why Biden’s New Russian Sanctions Are Shortsighted
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 13 hours ago
The Biden administration’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan is a wise and morally courageous one. It refuses to inherit and continue a disastrous American tradition in foreign and security policy: the obsession with defending meaningless U.S. “credibility” (aka prestige), irrespective of real national interests and of the cost in American lives and money. Previous U.S. “strategy” in Afghanistan was a kind of zombie policy: in reality dead, but still walking around because nobody in Washington could bring themselves to bury it. The obsession with mortal threats ...
Biden Drops Afghan Mess To Target China, Russia
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 13 hours ago
President Joe Biden’s administration is the sixth one to have presided over the 20-year US war in Afghanistan. And he is the fourth president to have overseen America’s “longest war”. Two previous presidents, Obama and Trump, promised to end the “forever war” and both left office without fulfilling that aspiration. So there is fair reason to view with skepticism Biden’s vow this week to withdraw all US troops from the Central Asian war-torn country – known as the “graveyard of empires” – by September. Currently, there are 2,500 US troops in Afghanistan along with 9,600 other NATO...

*Michael Peck* *, Europe* Modern Russia’s way of war is much more about finesse and technology. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *While some forces, such as airborne troops, have performed well in conflicts like Syria, “other units are equipped with older weapons and have a higher percentage of conscripts serving 12-month terms; not surprisingly, they may struggle to achieve the same level of performance. For centuries, the Russian way of war was numbers. Whether the enemy was Napoleon, Hitler or NATO, Russia would flatten them with a huge steamroller of troops, tanks, artille...
These 5 Oil Wars Changed the World
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Oil History, * What good is capturing an oil field when you wreck your country in the process? *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The result was 500,000 U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, the American-led blitzkrieg of Desert Storm and the devastation of Iraqi military power. Iraq had previously been one of the major powers in the Arab world; Saddam Hussein's quest for oil left it broken and isolated. For the last hundred years, oil has been a frequent reason for war. Nations have fought wars, or shaped their military strategy during a war, to conquer oil fields or p...
Kim Hates This: The South Korean Air Force Could Crush North Korea
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *South Korean Air Force, Asia* [image: South Korean Air Force] Seoul has invested well in its own defense and has a powerful military that Pyongyang knows to fear. *Key point: *South Korea not only has the F-15K Slam Eagle, but it also has the F-35 stealth fighter. In fact, in terms of technology and training Seoul has one of the finest air forces. The Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) is the most powerful air force on the Korean Peninsula, with a capability far greater than its northern rival, providing air cover and support to ground forces defending south of ...
German Luger: Is This the Most Famous Gun Of All-Time?
Warfare History Network, Blaine Taylor, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Warfare History Network, Blaine Taylor* *Pistols, Europe* During the Nazi era, the regular army and Adolf Hitler’s elite Waffen SS used the renowned Luger until their defeat in 1945. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The German Luger became a legend and a highly prized souvenir for Allied troops during World War II. The German Luger is, most likely, the most famous pistol in modern warfare. Almost every World War II movie ever made featuring German armed forces seems to show it as an integral part of its action sequences. It also played a prominent role in World War I and was car...

Sedition, sedition, sedition; The Biden administration on Thursday walked back one of the biggest bombshell campaign-season revelations of last year: that the Russian government had put bounties on the heads of US troops in Afghanistan.

Cultural Revolution & Counter

The lesson of China’s Cultural Revolution was that once the lid blew off, all of the carefully laid plans were in the wind. The same may be said of Iran’s radical Islamic Revolution. Both had very common threads when it came to the central revolutionary government losing control, and they were both historically […] The post Cultural Revolution & Counter appeared first on Virtual Mirage.

The Worst Is Here
Owen Gray, Northern Reflections - 14 hours ago
In Ontario, COVID numbers are staggering. And, Bruce Arthur writes, they're going to get much worse: Friday the Ontario government is expected to introduce stricter public health restrictions for the third time in three weeks, because Ontario’s panicked, pleading attempts to negotiate with a virus were always doomed. The only question now is how catastrophic it becomes. “There are no good options anymore,” said a Science Table source, who declined to share the specific COVID-19 projections on hospitalization, cases, and death Friday. “We’re past that point.” The projections are s...

"How to Eliminate the Drug Trade Overnight"

*"How to Eliminate the Drug Trade Overnight"* by Fred Reed "As perhaps most now know, China is preparing a digital currency with which it intends to replace cash entirely, and other countries, including the US, are considering the idea. Conservatives and libertarians will shriek, pull their hair, and turn blue at the idea, perhaps with good reason - which doesn’t matter since it is going to happen anyway. How would it work? Digital currencies have many interesting qualities, but here we will look only at a few relevant to this column. First, you download the app like any other. It ...

*Warfare History Network, Flint Whitlock* *World War II, Europe* The United States and its allies dropped 2.7 million tons of bombs on European targets during the war. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The devastation of World War II continues to this very day. For the most part, World War II left the U.S. and Canadian homelands physically untouched.

This Fighter Jet Was Built to Fight Russia (And Its Not American)
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Saab S-37 Viggen, Europe* The U.S. wasn't the only Cold War nation with its eyes on the Soviet Union. Neighboring Sweden was on guard as well. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The fighter was a true warbird, and was armed with a 30mm Oerlikon KCA cannon, and was also fitted with six underwing/under-fuselage hardpoints, which could be used to carry air-to-air and air-to-surface ordnance. Throughout the Cold War, the Scandinavian nation of Sweden maintained a strict policy of neutrality yet still prepared for a possible war with the Soviet Union. To help facili...
China Loves Its J-20 Stealth Fighter but How Good Is It Really?
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Chinese Air Force, Asia* [image: Chinese Air Force] The J-20 is certainly a stealth fighter, but it is not as well powered as its American counterparts. *Key point: *The J-20 could actually probably beat the Russian Su-57 in battle, but it would have trouble against the F-22. Ultimately, the J-20 is good in a dog fight but needs better engines and finer stealth capabilities. In January 2011, the maiden flight of a large, dagger-like grey jet announced that China had developed its first stealth aircraft—the Chengdu J-20 “Mighty Dragon.” Six years later, after s...
USS Scorpion Might Be the Greatest Tragedy In U.S. Navy History
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *Submarines, Americas* The loss of the USS Scorpion in 1968 sparked a mystery that tested the sleuthing skills of maritime experts. *Here's What You Need to Know*: By 1968 it was obvious to the Navy’s Bureau of Ships that the submarine was badly in need of major overhaul. Even in the age of ultra-sophisticated nuclear submarines, with their advanced computers, sonar, navigation, and communication systems, the hard truth is inescapable: the sea is the most hostile environment on Earth. It is totally unforgiving of human error or overconfidence. The pressu...
Russia’s T-14 Armata Tank Is Good, but Can It Be Killed By a TOW Missile?

Could the TOW really get through and cause damage to it? Time to consider matchmaking Russia’s favorite new Armata tank with America’s ex-favorite antitank missile, the TOW!

The SIG Sauer MG 338 is the Machine Gun the Army Drools Over

*Peter Suciu* *SIG Sauer MG 338, * And they're not the only ones. The Marine Corps has their eye on it as well. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* It may not just be special operators that eventually use the MG 338. The United States Marine Corps has also been evaluating the .338NM round as a replacement for its M240s. Effective at ranges out to 2,000 meters, the SIG Sauer MG 338 machine gun has a greater range than the M240 platoon-level machine gun. It has a rate of fire of 600 pounds and is chambered in the hard-hitting .338 Norma Magnum (8.6x63mm) round, and yet it weighs ...
