About That North Korea Missile Launch—Was it Hypersonic? 
*Stephen Silver* *North Korea, Asia* Experts are skeptical. Earlier this week, North Korea carried out its first missile launch of the new year. According to the *New York Times*, the missile was launched off the east coast of North Korea and landed in the water. The launch was swiftly condemned by foreign governments, including the United States, South Korea, and Japan. A day later, North Korea is claiming that it fired a hypersonic missile, and stating that the launch successfully met its objections.

Russia's Motivation to Help Belarus With the S-400
*Mark Episkopos* *S-400, Europe* Belarus is set to join the growing ranks of S-400 importers. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* In sum, the Kremlin is giving Minsk the money to buy its S-400 systems at a subsidized rate reserved for Russia’s domestic forces. Though the commercial wisdom seems dubious at best, the strategic benefits of this deal are much more readily apparent. S-400 systems fielded in westernmost Belarus will give Russian-aligned missile defense forces increased coverage. Belarus is set to join the growing ranks of S-400 importers, enhancing the Russian missile... read more

Saturday Snippet: Life and death on the California Trail
I've got a treat for fans of Western novels in general, and of my Ames Archives series in particular. It's the first in what I hope will be a new Western series, not replacing the Ames stories but augmenting them. It will add a new, earlier, far-West dimension to my novels of the Old West. I've called the series "The Annals of Ash". The first volume, which will be launched on or about January 15th, is titled "Wood, Iron, and Blood". The cover image is taken from "The Jerk Line", a painting by Charles M. Russell, a contemporary of Frederic Remington. I've used the latter's ... read more

Probing the depths of the CIA’s misdeeds in Africa
In 1958, a year after it achieved independence from colonial rule, Ghana hosted a conference of African leaders, the first such gathering to ever take place on the continent. At the invitation of Ghana’s newly elected prime minister, Kwame Nkrumah, more than 300 leaders from 28 territories across Africa attended, including Patrice Lumumba of the still-Belgian Congo and Frantz Fanon, who was then living in still-French Algeria. It was a time of unlimited potential for a group of people determined to chart a new course for their homelands. But the host wanted his guests not to forget ... read more

Fifth Generation Long Range Missile Could Help in Navy Battles
*Kyle Mizokami* *Naval Strike Missile, Europe* The Naval Strike Missile may not be widely fielded now, but it looks to have a bright future ahead. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Norwegian firm Kongsberg designed the Naval Strike Missile in part due to its long coastline with Russia. It has since become one of the most powerful and advanced systems around. 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... read more

Hypersonic weapons can reach speeds faster than any previous missile developed to date, and North Korean state news agency Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) was equally quick to announce the successful second test launch of such a platform this week. The launch on Wednesday came days after North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un announced efforts to bolster Pyongyang's military forces even ... read more

SATURDAY CARTOONS: RACISTS, MISOGYNISTS, EXTREMISTS, OH MY!; JANUARY 8, 2022
As usual, I will let the pictures speak for me. We have been snowed under this past week and many of the photos are local and winterish. However, I am glad to say that in my little corner, the rain has already almost cleared things up completely. Truth and why they cut down on History studies or made them "optional".
