*Dario Leone* *Security, * That's amazing. The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II was designed for close air support (CAS) of friendly ground troops, attacking armored vehicles and tanks, and providing quick-action support against enemy ground forces. It entered service in 1976 and is the only production-built aircraft that has served in the U.S. Air Force (USAF) that was designed solely for CAS.

Shutdown Showdown: How the Strait of Hormuz Factors into the U.S.-Iran Crisis
*Sidharth Kaushal* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] It is only within the context of substantial policy differences on either side of the Atlantic that Iran’s catalytic strategy makes sense. The recent mining of two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman, attributed to Iran by the United States, offers an important window into the strategic thinking of Iran and similarly situated regional powers. The incident is notable because the act of mining a limited number of vessels makes relatively little sense when viewed through the lens of traditional patterns of coercive behavior. L... more »

Labors of The Objectivist Sisyphus

Sisyphus must keep repeating the labor for eternity without any hope of success. The objectivists too are condemned by their “God” to roll the immense boulder of reason, individualism, and liberty up the “mountain of reality”. It has been prophesied that the one who can make the boulder stay at the top of the “mountain... more »
