Why US Jews Turning Against Israel Is Good For Palestinians
A unique but critical conversation on Israel and Palestine is taking place outside the traditional discourse of Israeli colonialism and the Palestinian quest for liberation. It is an awkward and difficult – but overdue – discussion concerning American Jews’ relation to Israel and their commitment to its Zionist ideology. For many years, Israel has conveniently dubbed Jews who do not support Israel, or worse, advocate Palestinian freedom, as ‘self-hating Jews’. This term, designated to describe dissident anti-Zionist Jews, is similar to the accusation of ‘antisemitism’ made against... read more

The Politics of Foreign Policy Humiliation
Commenting on Tom Tugendhat's speech in the Commons recall debate on the humiliation in Afghanistan, centrist journalists, so-called decents and sundry Labour MPs hailed his bravery and courage to say what he did.

The Soviet T-80 Tank Was Baptized by Fire in This Infamous War
*Mark Episkopos* *T-80 Tank, * Exceedingly nimble and remarkably long-lived, the T-80 fights on over four decades after its introduction. The T-80 main battle tank (MBT) has its early roots in 1950s Soviet efforts to design a gas turbine engine-powered tank. It was not until the late 1960s that these efforts resulted in a viable concept demonstrator, dubbed the T-64T. Following several waves of performance, reliability, and armament upgrades, the T-64T was further developed and introduced into service as the T-80. One of the first MBTs in the world to employ a turbine engine, th... read more

Russia's Kirov-Class Battlecruisers: A Modern 'Battleship'?
*Mark Episkopos* *Battlecruiser, * One of the most ambitious Soviet naval projects ever to make it into service, the colossal Kirov-class battlecruiser is an enduring fixture of Russia’s surface combatant fleet. By the 1970s, the colossal battleships of WWI and WWII fame had fallen sharply out of favor with the world’s leading navies. These ships were increasingly seen as too expensive, and too vulnerable, to justify their steep procurement and maintenance costs. But even as western navies concluded that the age of the battleship had passed, the USSR saw an opportunity to build ... read more
Silent and Deadly: These are America’s Top Stealth Weapons
*Kyle Mizokami* *Stealth, Americas* Stealth, or the idea of reducing the ability of the enemy to detect a weapon, has been around since the first caveman sewed a pocket into his clothing and hid a rock in it. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Stealth doesn’t just apply to aircraft—submarines have been incorporating stealthy features for decades. Among submarines, the most powerful combination of lethality and stealth is almost certainly the Ohio-class nuclear powered ballistic missile submarines. Stealth, or the idea of reducing the ability of the enemy to detect a weapon, has be... read more
Crisis Averted: U.S. Cruise Missiles Are Still Better Than Iran's
*Michael Peck* *Cruise Missiles, Middle East* Tehran talks a big game but fails to have the firepower to back it up. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Iran has a history of unveiling wonder weapons that aren’t so wonderful. The newest Iranian weapon, the Mobin, was displayed at the MAKS 2019 defense trade show in Russia in August. The cruise missile has a range of 450 kilometers (280 miles), a speed of 900 kilometers (560 miles) per hour, and a maximum altitude of 45,000 feet. It also features a warhead of up to 120 kilograms (265 pounds) and has a “low radar cross-section and hig... read more
Why the Middle East Doesn’t Take Iran’s Army Seriously
*Kyle Mizokami* *Iran, Middle East* Like many states, there are two armies: the Iranian Army, loyal to the country itself, and the IRGC and its Basij militia, which is loyal to the regime and the spirit of the revolution. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Much like China’s army in the 1980s, the Iranian Army and other ground forces are large but poorly armed. Iran’s sheer size, both in geography and population, are a deterrent to invasion. With Iraq struggling for its own survival, Tehran’s ground forces generally exist to secure the borders and keep the existing system of governme... read more

*Kyle Mizokami* *Guns, Middle East* The Uzi was a textbook example of a simple project successfully completed by a nascent arms industry. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Outside of Israel, the Uzi proliferated widely, contributing to its global image. Countries as diverse as Japan, Germany, Belgium, Peru, and Brazil all used the Uzi in their armed forces, as well as producing it under license. The Uzi wormed its way into a variety of Third World conflicts, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, was active in antirevolutionary conflicts in Central and South America, and became an ob... read more

Iran’s War Plan: Immediately Kill America’s Aircraft Carriers
*Sebastien Roblin* *Iran, Middle East* Missiles are the key to this strategy. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *This further compelled the U.S. Navy to introduce anti-ballistic missile capability to its destroyers and cruisers in the form of the SM-3 missile. In 2009, it became clear that China had developed a mobile medium-range ballistic missile called the DF-21D designed to sink ships over 900 miles away. This then-nascent technical achievement gave rise to a still-ongoing debate over the survivability of the U.S.’s nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, as the DF-21D outranged... read more

There's been some discussion about parts of Canada's federal election campaign which are surfacing somewhat earlier than usual - ranging from party platforms (with the notable exception of the Libs'), to typical late-campaign scare tactics.

The provincial elections held in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic have generally seen both a continuation of the trend toward increased a... read more

As US Empire Declines, What Openings Exist For Progressive Movements?
The fall of Kabul with, once again, the hurried and chaotic departure of surprised Americans, has led to an abundance of hand-wringing from the U.S. political center, as well as the right. Its larger meaning is important for people who want progressive change in the United States. For well over a decade I’ve noted to activist audiences that the U.S. empire is in decline. At the same time, I’ve encouraged activists to see this as good news — even if it means there will be challenges like increasing polarization. For one thing, the decline won’t be causing centrists to re-evaluate t... read more
