Destroying Korea: The Effects of a China-Japan War

*Kyle Mizokami* *China, Japan, * A Sino-Japanese conflict could easily embroil both South and North Korea into the fold. *Here's What You Need to Know*: It can be fanciful, and even entertaining to think about war scenarios. This article is undoubtedly part both. China and Japan have gone to war three times since 1894. At the end of the Second World War, with Japan in ruins and under Allied control, it seemed unlikely the two countries would ever fight again. War between the two countries seemed even more unlikely after the adoption of Japan’s pacifist constitution, which disa... read more

At 69,000 tons when launched in 1944, the *Shinano* would have remained the world's largest aircraft until the 1960s. But that was not to be.

The Problem with Half-Measures on the Filibuster

*Mohammed Ayoob* *Israel, Middle East* The occupation of the West Bank, the oppression of its people, and the siege and bombing of Gaza are seen by many people as a continuum in Israeli policy. The impending change in government in Israel has once again raised hopes in certain quarters that it may lead to some movement on the Israeli-Palestinian front.

The incoming Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is even more of a hardliner on the Palestinian issue than Netanyahu who at least maintained the fiction of a two-... read more

*Scott B. MacDonald* *economy, Americas* This does not bode well for supply chain dynamics. The global economy’s uneven recovery is raising new challenges, including congested ports in the United States, challenged supply chains and slow deliveries to consumers and retailers. In late May 2021, the Executive Director of the Port of Los Angeles stated, “We are in the seventh month of an unparalleled import surge, driven by unprecedented demands by American consumers.” Los Angeles is the largest port in the United States and, together with Long Beach a bit further south, account for... read more

This Is How America Defeated Saddam Hussein in the First Gulf War

*Kris Osborn* *Gulf War, Middle East* The Iraqi military went down with little trouble within a hundred hours. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* A mix of air dominance and very effective tank battles won the day.

The 100-hour ground war was both effective and successful due to the air war and the use of tactical deception. U.S. amp... read more

It has flown combat missions in several theaters across the world, although it has yet to serve in a sustained air superiority campaign. To the West, most of the legendary Soviet aircraft of the Cold War came from the design bureau Mikoyan Gurevitch, which spawned such aircraft as the MiG-1... read more

Lessons Learned. Lessons Unheeded

If you were educated in the West, your history lesson taught you that totalitarian regimes always end up ‘coming for your children’. One need only to recall pictures of Adolf Hitler inspecting the child soldiers making a last stand for the Third Reich. Or we can remember the famous story of *Pavlik Morozov*, one of many the Stalinist-era teens who denounced his father and reported him to the NKVD for criticizing the regime. The lesson that we were taught was that these totalitarians purposely weakened the bond between parents and child so as to neuter the family as a rival center of... read more
