Has President Biden Broken NATO?
US President Joe Biden gives a press conference after the NATO summit at the alliance's headquarters in Brussels, on June 14, 2021. © Olivier Hoslet, AFP *WSJ editorial:* *How Biden Broke NATO* The chaotic Afghan withdrawal has shocked and angered U.S. allies. Remember when candidate Joe Biden said America “needs a leader the world respects”? Apparently President Biden forgot. Of the many consequences of his misbegotten Afghanistan withdrawal, one of the more serious is the way it has damaged America’s relationships with its allies, especially in Europe.

AFGHANISTAN: IT'S ALL A BIDEN PLOT!
So today I wandered over to Natural News, which the Daily Beast has called "the new InfoWars," and which Wikipedia describes "a far-right, anti-vaccination conspiracy theory and fake news website known for promoting alternative medicine, pseudoscience, and far-right extremism." From these fine folks I learn that the problematic U.S. endgame in Afghanistan didn't happen because of poor planning, or because it's simply impossible to leave a failed state in a neat and tidy manner. No, the difficulties were all *by design.* We're told: According to published reports, it appears as tho... read more

When China Invades Taiwan, These Ships Will Be Key to Beijing’s Success
*Caleb Larson* *Chinese Navy, * Though nominally a civil industry, China’s civilian shipping industry is inextricably linked to the Chinese military. Much ink has been spilled about Beijing’s new aircraft carriers, anti-ship missiles, and anti-access/area-denial capabilities. But despite their humble role now, these transport ships would be no less an important component to a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Imagine this scenario. Taiwan’s northwest coast facing the Taiwan Strait. Several hours before dawn. It is cool and dark. Quiet too—until the low rumble of hundreds of ships is ... read more

Exposure To Wildfire Smoke May Increase Preterm Birth Risk - But It Would Be The PM10, Not PM2.5
A new study statistically correlates wildfire smoke to pre-term birth risk. There are a number of confounders in that, of course, like that exposure to wildfires creates a great deal of stress and often hurried actions and those are huge factors, but they instead dredged up a link to something that makes little sense - air quality far from fires. And since they came up with a suitably cosmic number - 7,000 extra preterm births in just 5 years!* - *it is sure to get attention in a state where everyone hyperventilates over everything. read more read more
