Biden Called Out By Fact Checkers Over Afghan Military Strength
*Peter Suciu* *Afghanistan, * Fact-checkers have pounced on the president, who along with administration officials, had repeatedly claimed that the Afghan Army was up to the fight. Among the points being put under the microscope by the fact-checkers was the seemingly dubious claim of the size of the fighting force. Since cutting short and returning from his summer vacation at Camp David, President Joe Biden has found himself on the defensive as he faces mounting criticism over his handling of the withdrawal of the U.S. military and civilians in Afghanistan.

In 1956 the World Almost Ended. The Culprit was The Suez Crisis
*Michael Peck* *History, Middle East* The Soviet Union was inches from firing nuclear-armed ballistic missiles over the Suez Crisis. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Leaders such as Saddam Hussein and Muammar el-Qaddafi have left a bad taste in the mouth when it comes to Arab strongmen. And yet, in this case, it’s hard not to sympathize a little with Nasser. Ultimately, the Suez Canal is Egyptian territory. For old-fashioned nineteenth-century imperialism, Suez was the last gasp.

Enter the Fray: The M2 Bradley Was Prepared to Fight a Nuclear War
*Kyle Mizokami* *NATO, Europe* In the wake of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, armies on both sides of the Iron Curtain came to believe that nukes had become the dominant weapon in warfare. *Here's What You Need to Know*: This was one of the first dilemmas behind the IFV. Infantry fighting vehicles had to be large to accommodate a full infantry squad, and they should be heavily armored—after all, up to twelve people would ride inside, three times as many as inside a tank. But the larger and better protected they got, the slower and less agile they became. In the 1960s, th... read more

America Should Beware: Iran Is the Middle East’s Missile Terror
*Kyle Mizokami* *Missiles, Middle East* The wartime need for ballistic missiles, as well as Iran’s historical enmity with Israel, led Iran to develop its own missile industry. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Iran’s ballistic-missile program began from a wartime requirement for a strategic terror weapon, and progressed to the development of nuclear delivery vehicle. Iran, like North Korea, is proof of the dangers of ballistic-missile proliferation, and how trade in even short-range missiles like the Scud can lead to the development of far more dangerous weapons down the road.
