How China’s Air Force Got Its Start in Russia
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 1 minute ago
*Charlie Gao* *Chinese Air Force, Asia* Despite these advances, China continues to acquire Russian jets, though this is largely in order to acquire technologies in the latest versions of the Flanker, the Su-35. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Given the significant Chinese modernization and upgrade programs for the MiG-21 (J-7 in Chinese service) that were necessitated by the long Sino-Soviet split, the Chinese industrial base has had significant experience modifying and improving Soviet designs. Chinese leadership probably felt that the Sukhoi’s superlative aerodynamic capab...
Stimulus Checks Lost? Why Some Americans Never Got Paid.
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 1 minute ago
*Stephen Silver* *Stimulus Money, Americas* [image: U.S. Economy] Errors, incorrect bank account information, and outdated tax filer statuses have all caused their share of headaches. *Key point: *The stimulus plan has worked out well for the vast majority of Americans. However, getting the checks out has had a few snags. The $1,400 stimulus checks from the American Rescue Plan, which was signed by President Joe Biden in March, have been going out over the last few weeks. But there are reports that not everyone is getting the checks they’re supposed to get. A local news report ...
How U.S. Missiles Could Set Asia Aflame
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 1 minute ago
*Robert Farley* *Taiwan, Asia* Under almost any conceivable scenario, deploying U.S. cruise missiles to Taiwan would be a terrible idea. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The strategic implications of sending missiles to Taiwan would be stark. In 1962, the United States and the Soviet Union nearly turned the Cold War hot because of the Soviet decision to deploy nuclear-armed ballistic missiles to Cuba. A few years before that, China and the United States came perilously close to war over a few Taiwanese-controlled islands off the coast of the mainland. In the next decade, as tens...

Before the M1 Abrams, America Built These 3 Weird Tanks
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 41 minutes ago
*Charlie Gao* *Tanks, * Some of them used groundbreaking features that could have given them significant edges compared to their Soviet counterparts, others had features that were ahead of their time in some ways. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The M8 was supposed to have built on everything the M551 lacked to provide serious punch for the Army’s airborne divisions. Gone was the wacky 152mm gun-launcher, it was replaced by a 105mm rifled gun that could use the same ammunition as the M60 Patton.

What Would a War Between China and America Look Like in 2030?

This war could have far-ranging effects on the economies of both countries, as well as the future of the global economic order.

In every way capitalism, this inescapable, inevitable and necessary step in our economic emergence, has laid the foundation for a future and more highly organised mode of production.

Let’s hope not, but if it does continue, I think it’s going to reveal hundreds of thousands of fraudulent ballots and mistakes.
