Russia's Checkmate Fighter and China's FC-31 Could Go Head-to-Head*Mark Episkopos* *Checkmate Fighter, Russia* India is reportedly considering purchasing Russia's Checkmate fighter, which is considered a competitor to China's FC-31. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *At least two potential Checkmate clients—India and Vietnam—are embroiled in active territorial disputes with Beijing, but the FC-31 could be well-positioned to compete with the new Russian fighter for the rapidly expanding African market.

Of all the countries in the world, just nine are believed to have developed nuclear weapons.

These Five U.S. Weapons Are Highly Overrated*Robert Farley* *U.S.Military, Americas* The five weapons of war listed below are “overrated” in the sense that they occupy a larger space in the defense-security conversation than they really deserve. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *Using the concept “overrated” requires evaluating the difference between reality and hype. The family can include useless weapons that have a veneer of utility, or good weapons that have acquired legendary status. Most of the weapons described are useful, within careful limits. Some aren’t. “Overrated” is a challenging concept. In sports, a pla... read more

Winning 75% of the vote, the FSLN demonstrate... read more

When Looking at Treasury Nominee Saule Omarova, Do Not Forget Elizabeth Warren’s Consumer Financial Protection BureauOne thing CTH does is to look at proposed leftist advancements through the prism of previously blocked moves.

Is Biden Looking To Reignite A Dirty War In Ukraine?On October 18, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin III met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to affirm U.S. support for Ukraine’s war against its eastern provinces.

Postal Banking Test In The Bronx Yields No CustomersNew York City - When the United States Postal Service launched a test program in September allowing people with business or payroll checks to get them loaded onto gift cards at four neighborhood post offices, it was seen as a primitive precursor to a postal banking system. But in order for the test to be successful and mature into a pilot, it has to actually be, well, tested. According to postal employees at Baychester Station in the Bronx, one of four locations nationwide where the test is being carried out, not a single business or payroll check transaction was made between Sept... read more

Bridging Cultural And Political Gaps Through Indigenous First FoodsA city isn’t the most likely place for an Indigenous crop revival. But across the greater Portland area in Oregon, municipalities like Metro and the City of Portland have been partnering with organizations and tribes to promote Native American land access and cultivation of first foods, the term used for traditional local foods that have nourished Indigenous people for centuries. In a city park, a drained lakebed, an old grazing lot, and along an urban creek, first foods are returning to areas where they once flourished before the land was covered by farms and urban sprawl.

More than 100 countries pledged to reduce their methane emissions by 30% over the next decade. Methane is a significantly more potent yet shorter-lived greenhouse gas, making it a target to prevent near-term warming as societies hurtle towards the 1.5 degrees of warming deemed disastrous for life on Earth. In tandem with this global commitment, the Biden administration released its plan to bring down U.S. methane emissions. While this plan would set new limits on ... read more

Is Boris Johnson Doomed?
A six-point lead for Labour? Its widest margin since May 2019? Nice. It seems the events of the last fortnight are taking their toll and pushing the Tory numbers down accordingly. With some looking nervously st the polls - the third in a row refusing to give the party a lead - and looking to see what the damage will be in North Shropshire and Old Bexley and Sidcup, some are starting to think about life after Boris Johnson. New MPs particularly are apparently looking forward to a solid clear out of the party. But the question, last asked here two years ago, is whether we can start ta... read more

"One Needs To Learn...""One of life's best coping mechanisms is to know the difference between an inconvenience and a problem. If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire – then you’ve got a problem. Everything else is an inconvenience. Life is inconvenient. Life is lumpy. A lump in the oatmeal, a lump in the throat and a lump in the breast are not the same kind of lump. One needs to learn the difference." - Robert Fulghum read more
