Before any money is distributed, a stimulus bill needs to pass Congress. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *You should not assume you won’t receive any money, though. There are a number of programs, passed under Biden’s American Rescue Plan Act, which provide for increased funding for direct aid. Bad news for most Americans: Even if there is a fourth stimulus measure, which appears highly unlikely at the moment, it will probably not be available to most middle-class Americans. The issue of a fourth st... read more

Why Russia’s Su-57 Fighter Jet Is Ranked Last for Stealth*Alex Hollings* *Su-57, * Russia’s Su-57 is widely seen as the least stealthy of the 5th generation entrants, but there’s more to a fighter jet than radar cross-sections. Russia’s Sukhoi Su-57 is one of only four operational 5th generation fighters anywhere on the planet, keeping the rare company of China’s Chengdu J-20 and America’s Lockheed Martin F-22 and F-35. Each of these fighters was developed with different specialties in mind, but share a collective focus on a few specific design elements that have come to define their generation of aircraft, including stealth and data f... read more

Ontario's Next Election
Ontario is a year away from an election. COVID has been a game-changer. And each of the three major party leaders has significant deficits. But, Bob Hepburn writes, the contours of the race are beginning to form: Since the Conservatives won the 2018 election, Ford has undergone more resets than Kathleen Wynne did when she was Liberal premier. At this stage, though, his campaign strategy is clear: lower his personal profile, shuffle his cabinet yet again to give his beleaguered government a “fresher” look, and try to shift the blame for the pandemic response by attacking the federa... read more

Stimulus Check Update: One State Made a Big Mistake (And Needs To Pay Up*Trevor Filseth* *Stimulus, * Oregon has some explaining to do. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *There is general agreement in Salem that this is a problem. Oregon state legislators, particularly Democrats, have said that they intend to pursue roughly $300 million in refunds – or, more accurately, tax rebates – but have not elaborated. The state of Oregon is returning $300 million to its citizens, after the pandemic’s stimulus checks were mistakenly taxed. At least, that’s the general idea. The process of returning the money has largely stalled; a bill to refund taxes on th... read more

Joe Biden Is Looking at Hell (Or What A War with North Korea Would be Like)*Kyle Mizokami* *North Korea, DMZ, Asia* The current demarcation line between North and South Korea was settled by the Korean Armistice Agreement of July 1953. The two sides agreed on a demilitarized zone approximately 2.5 miles wide approximately 160 miles long, bisecting the peninsula. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Korean DMZ is almost certainly the most heavily armed place on Earth. In the event the unthinkable happens, the presence of three large armies on the Korean Peninsula and their associated firepower would make the otherwise peaceful 2.5-mile-by-160-mile str... read more

Silent Sonic Booms?

There are a number of technically challenging engineering obstacles that have to be overcome in order for a supersonic jet airliner to be both just possible—and imp... read more

We Asked a Naval Expert to Rebuild the U.S. Navy from Scratch. Wow.*James Holmes* *Navy, * How can a reinvented U.S. Navy achieve its goals amid Indo-Pacific surroundings? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *If Congress has indeed capped U.S. maritime means more or less permanently, undersea warfare promises the biggest bang for limited bucks. Nuclear-powered submarines, or SSNs, constitute an enduring U.S. naval advantage. They can deny an adversary the use of the sea. Here's a thought experiment: would America build the U.S. Navy currently plying the seven seas if it were starting from scratch? Color me skeptical. If not, what kind of navy *... read more
