How the Navy's Next-Generation Destroyers Will Fight on the High Seas
*Kris Osborn* *Zumwalt-class Destroyer, United States* There are several ways that the Zumwalt-class could potentially support missions in large-scale warfare. *Here's What You Need to Know:* The *Zumwalt *was clearly built for warfare. It has over-the-horizon vertical launch systems capable of firing a wide range of enemy interceptors and offensive weapons such as the SM-6, SM-3 and Tomahawk cruise missile. The construction of a second *Zumwalt*-class stealth destroyer shows that the Navy is close to completing its three-ship fleet of next-generation warships. The USS *Mich... read more
This U.S. Missile Can Strike Any Target on Earth (In Under an Hour)
*Caleb Larson* *Hypersonic Missiles, Americas* The Common Hypersonic Glide Body is one killer weapon. *Here's What You Need to Know*: One of the advantages of a conventionally-armed hypersonic missile capability would be to reduce the use of nuclear weapons in the event of a conflict. The United States Navy and Army are working together to develop and eventually field a hypersonic glide body in the early- to mid-2020s. The missile, called the Common Hypersonic Glide Body, or C-HGB, differs from other glide vehicles that are being designed by DARPA or other military branches. Un... read more

So Where Is The Hyper-Inflation?
Up until early October 2020, almost a fifth of the American dollars in existence were created in that year. That is an absolutely stunning fact. Free market and “right wing” economists have been warning this ongoing money creation will lead to hyper-inflation. There have been many examples of this throughout history, but the two most […] read more

* Native Americans’ farming practices may help feed a warming world* * The elevated structures look very expensive to build so the economics of using them as farms would have to be very dubious* Indigenous peoples have known for millennia to plant under the shade of the mesquite and paloverde trees that mark the Sonoran Desert here, shielding their crops from the intense sun and reducing the amount of water needed. The modern-day version of this can be seen in the Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson, where a canopy of elevated solar panels helps to protect rows of squash, t... read more

Blessed ones, I come, Kuan Yin, a ray of light in form out of the all-seeing Eye of Buddha. I come to you this evening representing the Lords of Karma and I come, beloved, to tell you that this is the hour when you may appeal to the Lords of Karma for a dispensation of Mercy’s flame, violet flame, when you make the request to use that dispensation specifically for the mitigation, turning back, [or] transmutation of those prophecies told to you last evening.

Cod liver oil commissioning
*Sunday Times* arts columnist Patricia Nicol has written a piece headlined *Why changes are needed at Radio 4*. Despite the headline, she's a huge fan of BBC Radio 4 and doesn't accept many of the criticisms being made of it. Her only real beefs with the channel are with its comedy and drama output. “When did a new comedy format on Radio 4 last make you laugh out loud? Or a drama warm your cockles?”, she asks. My favourite line from her column is: Too much of Radio 4’s drama feels like cod liver oil commissioning, sternly administered to do you good. read more
The Newest F/A-18 Super Hornets Have Landed with the Navy
*Kris Osborn* *F/A-18 Super Hornet, United States* The Block III Super Hornets include various upgrades that defense contractor Boeing and the Navy have been developing in anticipation of the future threat environment. *Key Point:* The Navy has planned for several years to sustain the Super Hornet into the 2040s and beyond. That would allow the Super Hornet to help bridge the gap until larger numbers of the F-35C fighter jets arrived. The Navy’s F/A-18 Super Hornet aircraft will fight on for years to come. The first of seventy-eight new Block III Super Hornets arrived at Naval Ai... read more
A Sixth-Generation Stealth Fighter Could Be Just Around the Corner
*Caleb Larson* *Sixth-Generation Fighters, Americas* Sure, rapid prototyping sounds great, but could it work? *Here's What You Need to Know*: Innovation in acquisition is a great idea. Let’s just hope the challenges it could face are not insurmountable. The United States’ premier 5th generation stealth fighters, the F-35 and F-22, still have many years of life left in their wings. But, both the Navy and Air Force are already drawing up plans for their 6th generation stealth fighters. While the Navy is likely to use a conventional acquisition strategy similar to how the F-35 was a... read more
What Happens If the Chinese and Japanese Navies Battle?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Asian Security, Asia* Both navies are expanding. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Both ships have good designs, but China’s is a little more of an achievement because the country’s shipyards are relatively new to building large modern combat ships. The People’s Republic of China Army Navy (PLAN) is experiencing an unprecedented rise in ships and capabilities. China is building virtually every class of warship, from aircraft carriers to corvettes simultaneously, and in some cases, by the dozen.

A War Between India and Pakistan Could Bring About Nuclear Armageddon
*Kyle Mizokami* *India-Pakistan, South Asia* Let's hope their nuclear weapons don't get used. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The adversarial relationship between India and Pakistan makes the Indian subcontinent one of the most dangerous places on Earth. The Indian subcontinent is home to two of the largest armies on Earth. Not only are the armies of India and Pakistan both larger in personnel than the U.S. Army, but they have stood at alert facing one another since the dissolution of the British Indian Army in 1947.

One of the longest-serving nuclear weapons in America’s arsenal is the B61 nuclear free-fall bomb. The B61 bomb was first introduced in 1966 with more than three thousand bombs produced to date.

If the United States and Iran go to war in the Persian Gulf, the U.S. Navy’s smallest warships could be the first to see combat.

Why the Glock 43 Hits a Sweet Spot for Many Firearm Enthusiasts
