What’s the Difference Between Cheap Versus Premium Multivitamins?
We all want health and wellness. Most people who are sick would give anything to have their health back. Yet, most of us don’t have “anything.” Only so much money is available to prevent and treat disease. Your multivitamin is not a place where you should skimp on money.

The War to End All Wars
Today, 11/11/18, marks the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, the Great War, the supposed War to End All Wars that unfortunately didn't. I've always been struck by how eager nations were to go to war at the start and how horrific the reality often was. By the end, by most estimates, about 8.5 million soldiers were dead and the total casualty count was about 37.5 million. Add in a

Bombers vs. Fighters: The Battle Every Air Force Struggles With
*Robert Farley* *Security, Europe* [image: https://www.flickr.com/photos/usairforce/5999018126/sizes/l] On the eve of World War II, the great air forces of the world were not well-prepared for the clash between fighters and bombers. War forced every country to do the best with what it had, using existing aircraft and force structures as effectively as possible given the circumstances. This would often have tragic results, as the best-laid plans crashed into hard reality. In the years before World War I, theorists and engineers of military aviation began contemplating a division o... more »

Why the Great War Was Not Stopped
One hundred years since the guns fell silent on the Western front. The horrors and death that were visited upon the trenches were, at that point, unprecedented in human history. "Never again!" the establishment said, while Britain backed the whites in the vicious Russian civil war and bloodily repressed revolt in its misbegotten colonies. And just a couple of decades later the Great War was surpassed by an even more ferocious and destructive conflict. To mark 100 years since the Armistice, I'm reposting this from the occasion of the centenary of the Great War's outbreak. A century ... more »

This Was Russia's Very Own Dunkirk
*Warfare History Network* *Security, Eurasia* [image: Warfare History Network] Stalin’s Baltic Fleet attempted to escape from Tallinn during the bleak days of summer 1941. Early in World War II, a bitter joke circulated within the Soviet military. It ran, “What is the first thing Russia does when war is declared? It scuttles the fleet!” The joke referred to sad events in Russian naval history. In 1855, after the Crimean War, Russia lost the right to maintain a fleet in the Black Sea, and in 1904-1905 during the disastrous Russo-Japanese War, Russia lost two out of its three fleet... more »

The author, the Bloomberg opinion columnist named Noah Smith (later I noticed that the rant was first published by Bloomberg), starts by attacking Ethan Siegel's text that had supported a new particle collider. Smith argues that because too many scientists are employed in science projects that extend the previous knowledge which leads to diminishing returns, all the projects extending the old science should be defunded and the money sho... more »

The HQ-9 is China’s primary long-range domestic surface-to-air missile. Outwardly, it seems similar to the S-300, using large flat face radars and a large missile that vertically launches out of a canister. But since the Sino-Soviet split in the 1950s, China didn’t receive that much assistance in surface-to-air missile development from the Soviet Union. Is the... more »

Why China's J-20 Stealth Fighter Doesn't Need to Be an F-22 or F-35 to Be a Threat

By those measures, the J-20 is already successful design and a boon to China's power. Disappointing air shows are irrelevant, as are direct comparisons to the F-22 or F-35 or any other fighter.
