*Laicie Heeley, The Hill: **The Biden administration is poised to absorb the Pentagon's 'slush fund'* On May 6, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said he believes the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan is likely to create “opportunities” to redirect Pentagon spending. “Certainly, any time you stop doing something that is this important and this big, it creates opportunities,” he said. The statement was a signal that, in a major break with precedent, the Biden administration intends to simply roll excess war spending back into the Pentagon’s base budget.

Liz Cheney Is Right: U.S. Politics Is Being Dangerously Whitewashed

*P. Michael McKinley* *Politics, United States* We have collectively opened the door to such an outcome by not fully facing up to what our nation has just lived through as a society and as a polity. Let’s start before we forget.

by Larry Hamlin | May 21, 2021 The EPA has deleted (this chart and data no longer exist at the EPA website) its prior indicator climate data trend chart showing “unusually hot and cold temperatures” across the U.S. and showing the U.S. Heat Wave Index from 1895 to 2015 (shown below) that clearly established the unique drought and heat period …
The Dominican Republic’s tourism strategy has earned “international confidence”
Latin America News, The Rio Times - 14 hours ago
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - (EFE) The Dominican Republic has earned the "international confidence" in tourism because it "firmly" believes in the recovery of the sector and its great socioeconomic value based on public-private collaboration, the vaccination of all its personnel, the certification of health safety and the Spanish contribution. That is the "commitment", stressed […] The post The Dominican Republic’s tourism strategy has earned “international confidence” appeared first on The Rio Times.

Putin compares Pentagon spending with Russia's
Bruce K. Gagnon, Organizing Notes - 14 hours ago
Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a fiery rebuke to those who, he says, are intent on bringing about the breakup of the world’s largest country, insisting that Russia will defend itself. He also compares Russian annual military spending (around $42 billion) with Washington's which is 'officially' about $770 billion although when you add in the various buried treasure pots of national security spending (nuclear weapons in the DoE budget, Homeland Security, Veterans Administration, etc) the total is over $1 trillion a year. How can Russia be considered a military thre...

No Longer A World Leader
Owen Gray, Northern Reflections - 11 hours ago
There was a time -- not long ago -- when Britain was a world leader in international aid. Simon Rawnsley writes: It was at a meeting of the rich democracies’ club in Scotland in 2005 that Tony Blair cajoled the other leaders to commit to big increases in international aid. The signatories included George W Bush, a Republican US president, Jacques Chirac, a Gaullist French one, and Silvio Berlusconi, the bunga-bunga prime minister of Italy. This was not an act of charity, but of self-interested altruism. The pledge recognised that it is in the long-term interests of the affluent de...
China Is Training to Fire Artillery at 'High Altitudes'. Why Bother?
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *China, * Beijing aims to develop expeditionary attack capability for higher altitude warfare. The People’s Liberation Army is firing off towed artillery in the plateau regions of Western China to prepare for high altitude warfare in extreme weather conditions, a development which is just a small part of a broader Chinese military effort to massively up-gun its mountain warfare force. While the weapons plus up involves many different systems to include self-propelled howitzers and armored assault vehicles, a more transportable towed gun howitzer seems of particular...

Floating Garbage: 5 Worst Aircraft Carriers in History

*David Axe* *Aircraft Carriers, * Aircraft carriers require a lot of care and costly maintenance. Here are a few carriers that perhaps should have had their careers cut short. *Here's What You Need to Remember*: Admiral Kuznetsov’s ill repute did not deter the Indian and Chinese governments from acquiring second-hand Russian carriers. China’s Liaoning, a rebuilt sister ship of Admiral Kuznetsov, began limited testing in the summer of 2012, serving a mostly educational role while a Chinese shipyard slowly built a new carrier from scratch.

Beijing’s Quad Quandary: Why China Fears Losing Bangladesh

*Jagannath Panda* *China, Bangladesh, Asia* Beijing’s warning to Dhaka is drawn staunchly on concerns over how a “Quad plus Bangladesh” could hinder China’s South Asia policy and prove an advantage for India (and Japan) in their strategic competition.
