Concern over government’s four-year delay on PIP ‘safety’

Seawolf: The F-22 of U.S. Nuclear Attack Submarines Can Only Be Stopped By One Thing
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Money, or their sheer expense. *The extreme quietness of the Seawolf class gave the Navy the idea of modifying the last submarine, USS Jimmy Carter, to support clandestine operations. An extra one hundred feet was added to the hull, a section known as the Multi-Mission Platform (MMP). The MMP gives Carter the ability to send and recover Remotely Operated Vehicles/Unmanned Underwater Vehicles and SEALs and diving teams while submerged. It includes berthing for up to fifty SEALs or other attached personnel. Carter also features auxiliary maneuvering d... more »
A Revolution in North Korea: Could Sanctions Topple Kim Jong-un?
*Andrew David Jackson* *Security, Asia* Is this possible? Given the alternatives, economic sanctions seem like the most risk-free method of dealing with North Korea. But are they really the only viable option? North Korea is one of most heavily sanctioned nations on earth. But its economy appears to still be holding up and Kim Jong-un has shown no sign of slowing the country’s missile and nuclear development program. Increasingly harsh financial sanctions are seemingly having little impact, partly because it has encouraged a rise in informal cross-border trade with China. Andr... more »

X-32: The Only Plane That Could Crush the F-35 Is the One That Almost Replaced It
*Robert Farley* *Security, * An amazing story. *Built to the same specifications, the X-32 and the F-35 had relatively similar performance parameters. Deciding to compete on cost, Boeing designed the X-32 around a single-piece delta wing that would fit all three variants. The X-32 lacked the shaft-driven turbofan lift of the F-35, instead using the same thrust vectoring system as the AV-8 Harrier. The X-32’s system was less advanced than the F-35’s, but also less complex.* The Department of Defense (DoD) didn’t have to opt for the F-35. In the 1990s, both Boeing and Lockheed Ma... more »

*North Korea:* *North Korea on Trump's speech: We're done listening* (CNN) North Korean officials were closely watching US President Donald Trump when he addressed the South Korean National Assembly Wednesday, but they say they weren't listening. Though the American leader's tone was more subdued -- and he proposed what some perceived as a conditional olive branch -- officials in Pyongyang authorized to speak for the government told CNN when it comes to Trump, "we don't care about what that mad dog may utter because we've already heard enough." Pyongyang accuses Trump and the Uni... more »

When the United States Jumped the Shark
For those of us that grew up watching Happy Days, many of us will remember this ground-breaking episode: That particular Happy Days episode was not ground-breaking in the sense that it made for great television, rather, it was ground-breaking because it established a new phrase, "jumped the shark", in the English lexicon. It was at this point that Happy Days had literally "jumped the shark"; the television show had reached the point where its credulity was strained to the point where the producers were willing to take any means, no matter how ridiculous, to try to bolster their fl... more »
