Not Even Russia Thought Nukes on Tanks Were a Good Idea
*Charlie Gao* *History, Europe* The Taran was meant to carry around 10-12 ATGMs in addition to nuclear projectiles. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *But by the 1970s, Soviet interest in the Taran faded. The “nuclear battlefield” was on the way out, with fears that the use of tactical nukes could lead to further escalation. The accuracy of the Taran’s main gun was also considered insufficient with the small yield of its warheads. The Taran would only be effective on large concentrations of enemy forces with its small warhead. In the 1950s and 1960s when tactical nuclear weapon... read more

DOD Desperate Attempt at Good PR 🤪
It's become obvious the last few days anyone in the Biden Administration involved in talking to the chaos in Afghanistan is trying to cover Biden's ass and make thing look as if they're running much better than they are, and score some good PR for themselves.

Revealed for who and what they are
A personal friend wrote on social media recently: The covid bull**** did us all a favor. I know that sounds crazy, but hear me out for a minute. All the people demanding more lockdowns, that the unvaccinated be punished, that vaccine passports be required, that mask mandates remain in place forever, and all that **** are all speaking loudly and openly about it. Those are the people who are a threat to anyone who wants to remain free. They are the people who will report your activities to the government. They are the secret police.

"FDA Lied - Vax Not Approved, Still Experimental"
*"FDA Lied - Vax Not Approved, Still Experimental"* By Greg Hunter "The big news the FDA had given “full approval” to the Pfizer CV19 vaccine is a HUGE lie.

A Russian "Whiskey" Almost Sent Sweden into a Frenzy
*Sebastien Roblin* *S-363, Europe* The "Whiskey" in question was an S-363, Soviet Whiskey-class coastal patrol submarine, which gave the incident its moniker "the Whiskey on the Rocks." *Here's What You Need To Remember:* The submarine hunt aroused domestic controversy. Swedish right-wingers saw the U-137 incident as evidence of the Soviet Union’s ill-intentions and the need to build up military deterrence. Some left-wing Swedes implied the Swedish Navy was jumping at shadows and suggested the submarine sightings were actually NATO submarines provoking the Swedes against the Sovi... read more
