(Reader: timjoebob) Liberals are Communists
The persistence of Marxism in the face of public abject failure is astonishing, but it supplies a blueprint for hordes of stupid people to grab power and resources to themselves from others. This makes it disgusting. Nine tenths of hte population simply do not believe anyone is that stupid. This allows the stupid to grasp for power. Today they are roiling the global polity.

Humanity then arose on the continental shelf until 12900BP. This became a completely modern civilization. They then chose to end the Ice Age by impacting a comet into the ice cap and shifting the crust fifteen degrees ending hte Ice Age. \ Since ... read more

*"This Thanksgiving Weekend Proved That America * *Is Now Living In A Very Dark New Reality"* by Michael Snyder "The entire narrative around “Black Friday” has completely changed. In the old days, I would write a column every year about the chaos that we would see at major retailers all over America as crazed consumers fought over deeply discounted merchandise. The fact that Americans would get so crazed over cheap trinkets made in China said a lot about where we were as a society, but there was also a side to Black Friday that was fun and exciting. It was a yearly ritual that milli... read more

Why Don’t Korean Tankers Like the T-80U?
*Charlie Gao* *Tanks, Asia-Pacific* In a pure technical comparison, the T-80U lags behind the K1A1 and K1A2. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *The lack of modernization due to the foreign nature of the parts for the tank and lack of will to “domesticize” a foreign design impeded the T-80U from being fully embraced by the South Korean military. One of the great ironies of the military balance in the Koreas is the fact that South Korea operates more advanced Russian tanks than North Korea. This situation came about in the 1990s after Russia inherited a $1.5 billion debt to South... read more
Battle of the Tanks: M-1 Abrams vs M-48
*David Axe* *M1 Abrams, Americas* Sprey also claimed a World War II destroyer with its torpedoes was a better surface combatant than a larger cruiser lacking torpedoes. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *It’s true that, at millions of dollars per copy, a new M-1 costs more in absolute terms than a new M-48 did 70 years ago. But it’s also true that the M-1 has an extensive, and successful, combat record stretching back to the 1991 Gulf War. Pierre Sprey was a member of the Pentagon team that, back in the 1970s, helped to write the requirements for the iconic A-10 attack plane. S... read more
How Does Singapore’s Military Stack Up Against Regional Threats?
*Charlie Gao* *Singapore, Asia-Pacific* One of the strongest arms of the Singaporean military is the Republic of Singapore Air Force. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *Overall, unlike their neighbors, Singapore has gone “all in” with Western tech. The common origins of their aircraft probably make resupply and maintenance easier. This trend looks to continue now that Singapore is looking into the F-35 as a replacement for their F-5Es. They also have the significant advantage of having AWACS aircraft, unlike their two closest neighbors. Despite its small geographical size, Sing... read more
Is the U.S. Air Force Purposely Shrinking its Fleet?
*David Axe* *U.S. Air Force, Americas* Arguably, the Air Force canceled the F-22 for nothing. It risks again making the same mistake. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* “We’ve all heard the rumors” about the B-1, Gunzinger said. If Gunzinger and Rehberg are correct in their assessment, cutting the B-1 fleet indeed will save money. But that money won’t ever result in the bomer force growing back to its current strength of around 160 airframes. To say nothing of expanding beyond that level. The U.S. Air Force is considering retiring older warplanes in order to save money for new ... read more
