Sidebar on this : Once upon a time the U.S. dollar was not the currency of international exchange. The Swiss franc was. Politics were not allowed to intrude upon a service based on scrupulous impartiality and confidentiality ( secrecy, to whit ), nor was there any supposed 'duty' to aid 'law enforcement' in harassment of trade. That time was not in the far past, but only a few decades ago. What has happened in the interim ? Decades of economic warfare upon North Korea, Libya, Cuba, Iran...and more. Right now Venezuela should be in the forefront of those seeking reform...and all the nations 'hosting' U.S. military deployments as a routine 'fort'. Currency imbalances have proliferated so that an hour's wage in one country bears no relation to what it might be in another - and cost of living varies with equal astronomic change.
I have no confidence in an impartial outcome when one gang of crooks and cohorts are free to defraud the world. Revision is the only possible way to minimize catastrophe. Rocks and reefs ahead.

Nazi Germany's 'Star Wars' Tank Was a Total Disaster
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * The unique Kugelpanzer, or “ball tank”, was built in Germany and at some point shipped over to Japanese-occupied China. *The kinship with World War I-era prototypes ties the Kugelpanzer’s concept to an era in which the tank’s advantage in “mobility” related to its ability to negotiate the cratered and trench-strewn battlefields of World War I, rather than execute Blitzkrieg-style rapid advances. It therefore seems likely the spherical tank’s designers abandoned the Kugelpanzer because of its inability to keep up with the mobile warfare raging acros... more »

While most of the 40 onboard shells were high explosives or armor piercing shells that could penetrate 100 to 127 millimeters of armor, later PT-76s received special low-velocity BK-350M shaped-charge HEAT rounds that could penetrate 200 to 280 millimeters.

"The litigation," reported Reuters on Sunday, "is part of a growing set of legal challenges to partisan redistricting, including a U.S. Supreme Court case out of Wisconsin that could for the first time establish a constitutional standard to measure the legality of such map-making.

Russia’s Su-57 Stealth Fighter Is Destined to Fail
*Tom Cooper* *Security, * All of the reasons the Su-57 is going nowhere fast. Westerns analysts have concluded that Russia’s fifth-generation Sukhoi Su-57 stealth fighter is unlikely to enter operational service before 2027. Postponements, cost-overruns and research and development-related problems mar the project. This should come as no surprise. The Su-57 program was never really viable. Back in early 2006, Russian president Vladimir Putin integrated all of Russia’s aviation companies into a single, state-owned holding — the United Aircraft-building Corporation.

Does The U.S. Have Way Too Many Secrets?
James Gibney, Bloomberg: *The U.S. Has Way Too Many Secrets* A Q&A with Tom Blanton, director of the National Security Archive, on the historical value of Hillary Clinton's emails, the sins of Julian Assange, and what national secrets are really worth keeping. How much does it cost to keep a secret? Well, the U.S. government sort of has an answer: $16.89 billion. That's how much it spent in 2016 to classify information that it deems too sensitive to be released to the public. Some secrets are worth keeping, of course -- like how to cook up chemical weapons, for instance. But other... more »

For Those Who Believe The Democratic Party Is Salvageable...
As you may-- or may not-- know, the DNC has been working to heal the wounds left from Wasserman Schultz's reign of terror, particularly over how she worked to undermine Bernie's campaign and rig the primaries for Hillary, making the party weak and un-unified and giving Trump more opportunities to gain ground.

How Russia's Tough Tanks Can Roll Toward Battle on an ‘Iron Carpet’
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, * More than 72 years of tank development since the end of World War II have not found a military solution for the mud — just quick fixes like the KVD. The Eastern Front during World War II brought the enduring image of tanks bogged down in seas of thick, sticky mud. While it might come as a surprise, the twice-annual Russian mud is still a major military problem. So, Russia has developed a road-laying truck for its engineering troops called the KVD, short for “temporary road system,” to lay down a 50-meter-long aluminum sheet to help tanks and other ... more »
America, Japan and South Korea Are Planning a Two-Day Missile Defense Drill

The stream of public revelations has put leaders in a pressure cooker. ... more »

WHY WERE THERE SO MANY SEEMINGLY WOKE REPUBLICANS ON TV TODAY?
I was surprised when this became a big story today: Sen. Richard Shelby says he wants a Republican elected to the Senate on Tuesday to represent Alabama, but that he didn't vote for GOP candidate Roy Moore in the special election. The Alabama Republican said he's already cast his ballot, and that he chose a write-in candidate. "I'd rather see the Republican win, but I'd rather see a Republican write-in. I couldn't vote for Roy Moore. I didn't vote for Roy Moore," Shelby told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union." This was breaking news *today?* Why? We've known about Shelby's v... more »

What Should Trump's National Security Strategy Look Like?
*James Jay Carafano* *Security, North America* [image: Trump holds a cabinet meeting at the White House in Washington] The National Security Strategy is expected to reflect "serious" Trump. Here are some things to be on the lookout for. President Donald Trump is expected to release a public national security strategy soon. His critics will most likely hate it, no matter what it says. Some will simply ignore it, claiming that Trump will just keep being Trump, regardless of what is on paper. Conversely, the president’s supporters will mostly say nice things about it—or ignore it. ... more »
How to Stop Iran's Missile Program
*Henry Sokolski, William Tobey* *Security, Middle East* [image: Two Iranian clerics stand near a surface to surface missile which is ready to be launched during a war game near the city of Qom] America must unite, not divide, other major powers to constrain Iran. Just four weeks ago, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s commander, Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, told the Associated Press that Tehran was imposing a 1,242-mile range limit on its surface-to-surface ballistic missiles.

Congress Has Chosen the Wrong Strategy to Deal with Russia
*Nicolai N.

A recent editorial in the *Economist* magazine simultaneously reveals both the intellectual shallowness of the new Cold War and its source of inspiration. It does so by tying together three points that have become staples of the current mind-set about Russia. The first, is that post-Communist Russia is even... more »

*Benjamin Miller* *Security, Middle East* [image: Followers of the Houthi group raise their weapons as they demonstrate against an arms embargo imposed by the U.N.

North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un Climbs Mt. Paektu
*International Business Times*: *North Korea's 130kg leader's spotless black shoes untouched after he 'climbed' to the top of 2,777m mountain* He reportedly climbed Mount Paektu which is of spiritual significance. It is the kind of hike that would take a fit mountaineer hours and would require a strong pair of lungs as well as specialised footwear. But that apparently wasn't required for Kim Jong-Un, who according to North Korea's state media managed to walk "through thick snow" to get to the top of the 2,777m Mount Paektu, even if his spotless leather shoes suggested otherwise. ... more »

Sidebar on this : Once upon a time the U.S. dollar was not the currency of international exchange. The Swiss franc was. Politics were not allowed to intrude upon a service based on scrupulous impartiality and confidentiality ( secrecy, to whit ), nor was there any supposed 'duty' to aid 'law enforcement' in harassment of trade. That time was not in the far past, but only a few decades ago. What has happened in the interim ? Decades of economic warfare upon North Korea, Libya, Cuba, Iran...and more. Right now Venezuela should be in the forefront of those seeking reform...and all the nations 'hosting' U.S. military deployments as a routine 'fort'. Currency imbalances have proliferated so that an hour's wage in one country bears no relation to what it might be in another - and cost of living varies with equal astronomic change.
I have no confidence in an impartial outcome when one gang of crooks and cohorts are free to defraud the world. Revision is the only possible way to minimize catastrophe. Rocks and reefs ahead.
