Iraqi VP: US ‘Created ISIS’ and is Now Trying to Claim Victory Over Them
[image: mosul]The vice president of Iraq is calling out the U.S. for hypocritically claiming victory over the terrorist group it created in the liberation of Mosul.
Post Mosul Liberation Day 11 Jul 21 2017
News out of Mosul was limited again because of the media blackout enforced by the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF). Yesterday, General Haidar Ali al-Shemari from the Golden Division toldthe press that around 250 families were still trapped in the Old City, afraid to flee because of Islamic State gunfire. Soon after that story was published the Joint Operations Command (JOC) deniedit. The JOC was supposed to be in control of all press statements, but has never been able to enforce that rule. The general’s statement contradicted the government’s narrative that Mosul is freed, and only mo... more »

Is Mexico On The Brink Of An Opium War?

Wages of war
Charles Moore reportedly remarked that the revelations about excessive BBC salaries that were supposed to shame the BBC into curbing them have morphed into squabbles about the gender gap, and will inevitably have the opposite effect. (Levelled up.) People carping about each other’s pay is a terrible bore. When it concerns riches beyond our wildest dreams, to quote the eminent philosopher Robbie Williams, it becomes part galling, part comical.

Exclusive: An Inside Look at USS Gerald R. Ford (America's Newest Aircraft Carrier)
*Dave Majumdar* *Security, * We should know--we toured it. *Ford seems to be delivering on the promise of a more efficient carrier that will take naval aviation into the future. Ford—which is based on the Nimitz-class hull form—restores weight and stability margins by reconfiguring the ship’s interior, though she displaces roughly 100,000-tons just like the CVN-68 class (Indeed, one officer noted that while a sea, Ford is much more sporty than the Nimitz thanks to her prodigious horsepower and reconfigured interiors). But more importantly, Ford adds improved survivability measu... more »

Donald Trump has a duty: to defend his family
*Guaranteed pardon for all family members is the right thing to do* Hardcore left-wing activists in the U.S. keep on attacking Donald Trump and his family. Their behavior is so similar to what we remember from the communist totalitarianism. Someone's view, in this case Trump's, is sometimes politically inconvenient for the self-appointed determinants of the atmosphere in the whole society. So the left-wing octopus doesn't attack just Trump himself but also his children. During communism, this was happening to many Czechoslovak parents. Many of them found the legal and material well-... more »

European Union's Left, not Poland, is a threat to democracy

What Are China's Military Goals?
Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning *Esquire:* *What Are China's Military Ambitions?* *Keep an eye on the Horn of Africa.* Russia, we noted last month, is boxed in by the tyranny of hydrography. They really have no way to get out onto the surface of the deep blue sea that is not constrained by land, ice, or NATO. China, on the other hand, does have a long oceanic and ice-free coastline. But for similar reasons, has a bit of a problem, ocean-wise. The problem for the Chinese is less one of immediate access, and more one of ultimate freedom. In particular, even once they reach the ope... more »

Three Israelis stabbed to death in West Bank attack per BBC News
This piece of shit article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-40685369 by the institutionally anti Israel BBC contains the usual fake equivalence figures and narrative that I've covered too many times now. I really cannot be bothered to analyse such crap any more. Until the BBC release the Balen Report let's just accept that the BBC is institutionally anti Israel and move on. This particular BBC report ends by linking to a piece 'Is Palestinian-Israeli violence being driven by social media?' I'd say that the Palestinian Israeli violence is being driven by Islam's hatred ... more »

2 New Hampshire Special Elections This Week Have Lessons For Democrats-- Voters Want Progressives
Does this sound like a positive statement from a Democratic candidate in a special election primary? "I have no 11th-hour plans and will continue to run a positive campaign.

Russia Is Building Laser-Armed Nuclear 'Combat Icebreakers'
*Michael Peck* *Security, * What more is there left to say? More details are emerging about Russia’s trump card for control of the Arctic: laser-armed, nuclear-powered “combat icebreakers.” In addition to a warship-sized array of weapons, the 8,500-ton Ivan Papanin–class vessels will mount powerful lasers that can cut through ice—and possibly through enemies as well. They will join a fleet of forty existing Russian icebreakers. The United States is now down to two, even as the United States, Canada and other nations are focusing on the Arctic, where melting ice offer the lure of... more »
Dunkirk: Everything You Need to Know Before You See the Movie
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * A battle like no other. Christopher Nolan’s film *Dunkirk* inspired new attention to the famous evacuation by sea, in 1940, of four hundred thousand British troops under harrowing air attack. Had that evacuation failed, the United Kingdom would have been deprived of a land army to oppose Nazi Germany. But *before* Dunkirk, British and French troops fought desperate last stands in the channel ports of Calais and Boulogne that bought vital time for the evacuation in the Belgian Port. The situation grew so desperate at Boulogne that Allied destroyers... more »
Billions Could Die If India and Pakistan Start a Nuclear War
*Zachary Keck* *Security, Asia* Forget North Korea. This is the real nuclear threat. With the world’s attention firmly fixated on North Korea, the greatest possibility of nuclear war is in fact on the other side of Asia. That place is what could be called the nuclear triangle of Pakistan, India and China. Although Chinese and Indian forces are currently engaged in a standoff, traditionally the most dangerous flashpoint along the triangle has been the Indo-Pakistani border. The two countries fought three major wars before acquiring nuclear weapons, and one minor one afterwards. An... more »
