Greg Hunter, "Desperate Money Printing Leads to Depression"
*"Desperate Money Printing Leads to Depression"* By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com "Legendary investor, economist and market forecaster Dr. Marc Faber thinks central banks (CB) are not going to cut back the money printing. Just the opposite. He predicts CBs are going to print even more money at a faster pace to hold the failing economic system together for a little while longer. Dr. Faber explains, “What is perceived to be safe, namely cash, isn’t safe anymore. It is unsafe. You ask me what is safe? I don’t know what is safe anymore when you have money printers who print money inde... read more

Norway's Naval Strike Missile Packs a Punch
*Kyle Mizokami* *Anti-Ship Missiles, Scandinavia* This Norwegian design could also find a home on American warships. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The Norwegian-designed Naval Strike Missile isn't supersonic, but is low-observable and deadly accurate. The modern age of the missile at sea was arguably kicked off in October 1967, when the Israeli destroyer *Eilat*, sailing fourteen miles off the coast of Port Said, was ambushed by a pair of Osa-class guided missile boats. The missile boats launched four missiles, three of which hit the ex–Royal Navy destroyer, sinking her and... read more
Don't Count the Russian MiG-21 Out
*Robert Farley* *Fighter Jets, Eurasia* How long can the MiG-21 last? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Modern fighters don’t fly much faster than the MiG-21, or maneuver much more capably. Military aircraft can have notoriously short lifespans, especially during periods of technological ferment. The most elite aircraft of World War I could become obsolete in a matter of months. Things weren’t much different in World War II. And at the dawn of the jet age, entire fleets of aircraft became passé as technologies matured. The advanced fighters that fought in the skies over Korea ... read more
How Afghanistan Will Contend With a Worsening Refugee Crisis
*Louay Constant, Shelly Culbertson* *Afghanistan, * To avoid exacerbating the existing humanitarian crisis, the global community will have to take swift action, including close coordination with regional and national players. The evacuation of more than 100,000 civilians from Afghanistan is over, and Afghan refugees have started arriving in the United States, at military bases in other countries, or elsewhere for asylum processing. But those evacuated represent just a sliver of the millions of Afghans who have lost their homes and livelihoods due to war and may be on the move, y... read more
America's B-52 Bomber are Not Headed into Retirement Anytime Soon

The plan is to dedicate two airframes to each area targeted for upgrade: engines, radar, bomb bay improvements, and connectivity. The United States’ iconic B-52 bomber, the old Cold War workhorse that remains in service, is getting a new lease on life.

India Can't Afford Complacency When It Comes to China

New Delhi could do the same—and find itself outmatched in its own backyard. At one point in the movie *Beaches*, Bette Midler's rather egotistical character C. C. Bloom inquires: "But enough about me, let's talk about you. What do you think of me?" In *Beaches*, it was all about C. C. Bloom. It's all about China in Asia these days.

On Contact: The Corporatization Of Science
Science in the United States almost exclusively serves the interests of corporate and military power. Science historian Clifford Conner writes that the corruption of scientific endeavor exploded with the 1942-1945 Manhattan Project, the first “big science” venture, in which the government spent massively on developing the atom bomb. Science, from this point forward, became big business. Scientists are employed in “hypothesis-driven” research to promote the interests of the food industry, the tobacco industry, and the fossil fuel industry, attacking or silencing scientific studies ... read more

Meet the Flying P-38 Powerhouse of WWII
*Sebastien Roblin* *P-38, Americas* This venerable plane had many different missions during the war and performed admirably. *Key point:* Despite its flaws, the P-38 was a rare early example of a successful “heavy” fighter boasting speed, range, and firepower—similar to modern multi-role fighters like the F-15 and Su-27. In 1937, the U.S. Army Air Corp called for proposals for an interceptor capable of flying 360 miles-per-hour and climbing rapidly to high altitudes. Kelly Johnson, designer at Lockheed—then a small company without major prior military contracts—calculated only a... read more

How to Overthrow a Superpower?
If China intends to usurp America’s position of superpower, then it will not use military means. The cost of militarily defeating America will be too high and no nation, which is ruled by wise leaders, will attempt to precipitate a war with America. The world is not in a mood to fight a great war (though things might change in the future if the American side becomes weaker). There are non-military ways of forcing the American order (Pax Americana) to fade out of the world. While America possesses considerable military strength, it is not a military power.

The world was reassured that this rate of vaccination was more than enough to ensure individual and “herd immunity.” However, infection rates have skyrocketed across the country since then, and Israel is now logging the world’s highest infection rates, with nearly 650 new cases daily per million people.
