Deterrence Assurance: Why NATO Needs a Plan for the Indo-Pacific Region*Franklin D. Kramer* *NATO, Eurasia* The alliance needs to come to grips with the reality that there are now two major contested theaters—one in the Indo-Pacific region as well as Europe. Heads of state meetings are opportunities for creative problem solving and the upcoming NATO “mini-summit” on June 14 provides the perfect opportunity for the United States and NATO to respond to the consequential challenges presented by Russia and China. In both the kinetic and hybrid arenas, Russian and Chinese actions have undercut deterrence and threatened strategic stability. But the summit... read more

The F-35: The New Way The Marines Sink Enemy Warships?*David Axe* *U.S. Marines, * There's an urgent need for something of this caliber. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *In the meantime, the Navy has added an anti-ship mode to some of its Standard surface-to-air missiles. The sailing branch *also is pulling* out of storage old Harpoon anti-ship missiles and could arm some attack submarines with them. The U.S. Marine Corps wants new missiles so its forces can help the U.S. Navy to sink enemy ships. And it wants them soon, *according to* Megan Eckstein, reporting for USNI News.

Not Everyone Cashed Their Dead Relative’s Stimulus Check*Trevor Filseth* *Stimulus, * In total, only 65,000 of the more than 160 million checks have been returned to the government. The remaining 5,000 were mostly returned on account of the users’ desire to help the government save money. Other charitably-minded Americans have donated their checks rather than returning them. The CARES Act, passed in March 2020, had an undeniably chaotic rollout. Passed in the first weeks after the COVID-19 emergency began, the measure emphasized the quick distribution of money over security in who that money was sent to. Consequently, the information... read more

XP-55 Ascender Is One Really Strange Plane For Lots of Reasons*Caleb Larson* *XP-55, Americas* The Ascender used a pusher-style propeller located at the rear that “pushed” rather than “pulled” the airframe. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The XP-55 Ascender was an odd-ball plane that didn’t enter production. In 1939, the Army put out a call for tenders, asking aircraft manufacturers to design an airframe that was superior to existing planes with a focus on speed and the pilot’s line of sight. It also specified that radical and unconventional aircraft designs would be allowed—thankfully for the Curtiss-Wright XP-55 Ascender. The Ascender u... read more

Herd Immunity From the Truth
I honestly don't remember America, my native country, being this polarized and crazy. And I grew up in the 60s, the decade of Vietnam, the civil rights movement, the Kennedy assassinations and psychedelic drugs. I don't recognize it. Yeah, some things have changed in a nation's inevitable cultural ebb and flow. I was born into a country in which doctors still made house calls, mail was delivered twice a day and there were milkmen and diaper delivery drivers. Since my childhood and adolescence, all these things and more have all but disappeared. Single bread win... read more
