"First Look, First Shot, First Kill": How the F-22 Raptor Could Fly Until 2060
*Kris Osborn* *Security, * The two new weapons, which have been under testing and development for several years now, are advanced variants of existing weapons - the AIM-9X air-to-air missile and the AIM 120-D. Upgraded variants of each are slated to be operational by as soon as next year. *For the long term, given that the Air Force plans to fly the F-22 well into the 2060s, these weapons upgrades are engineered to build the technical foundation needed to help integrate a new generation of air-to-air missiles as they emerge in coming years.* The Air Force and Lockheed Martin hav... more »
"Rock the Vote"
*"Rock the Vote"* by Jim Kunstler It warmed my heart to read in The Wall Street Journal that Hillary Clinton is preparing to re-enter the Washington DC swamp from her deluxe exile in the woods of Chappaqua, New York, and make another run for the White House - though it’s hard to calculate how many porters in sandals and loincloths will be required to lug all her baggage around the campaign trail. Will hubbie hit the hustings with her? That would be rich. I can just imagine the pussy-hatted legions shrieking #MeToo at every stop. Surely there is no better way to put the Democratic P... more »

This Economic Trick Will Stabilize Syria
*Matthew RJ Brodsky, Bassam Barabandi* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] This is how America can help build up Syria's economy and protect the country from potential threats. Having made the decision to remain in Syria a while longer, the United States should strive to strengthen its leverage in order to counter Iran and improve its position vis-à-vis Russia when negotiating an acceptable endgame to the conflict. The war in Syria has hit a bit of a lull with the shaky ceasefire largely holding under Turkey’s protection in Idlib. The United States and its Arab and Kurdish ... more »
This Is How America and the Philippines Can Upgrade Their Alliance
*Patrick M.

At the heart of the Indo-Pacific region are the disparate nations of Southeast Asia, a dynamic group of post–colonial nations that consciously guard their hard-earned autonomy in a theater of great powers. And at the very core of that pivotal region is the Philippines, which straddles the Western Pacific, the South China Sea, and the interlocking seascapes that constitute the marit... more »

*Elias Atienza* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] Bolton's speech makes it clear that neoconservatives have learned nothing in the last twenty years. On Thursday the Trump administration announced emergency measures to prevent people who enter the country illegally from claiming asylum in the United States. The idea is to prevent people from circumventing immigration check-points only to surrender themselves to the authorities once on U.S. soil. These changes come on top of informal “go slow” policies at border crossings that have seen crossing times rise from hours to days. ... more »
Is Netanyahu Pushing Israel Towards a War?
*Sajjad Safaei* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] That’s what he wants you to believe. Much anxious talk is swirling these days over the prospect of a military showdown in the Middle East. A centerpiece of that war, we are told, is some form of military conflagration involving Iran and Israel. To be sure, there are good reasons for concern. The United States’ violation of the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) and the illegal reimposition of sanctions on Iran have indeed nudged the region into uncharted territory. In Saudi Arabia, these developments are likely to have emboldened an... more »

Colorado Just Had a Real Wave Election-- And National Democrats Need Them To Have Another In 2020
Colorado just elected a socially liberal, fiscally conservative Democrat as governor; nothing new there. But he’s also the the first openly-gay man elected governor in any state.

Doctors Who Claim Osteoporosis is Scurvy of the Bones – Vitamin C Supplementation Needed not Calcium
Osteoporosis is a bone-weakening disease caused by an inability to produce bone mass after bone cells die off naturally. This renders bones so brittle they can be broken by minor falls or even sudden harsh coughs. As our population ages, the conditions that create osteoporosis increase. Pharma-controlled mainstream medicine offers prescription drug bisphosphonates, such as Alendronate (Fosamax) Risedronate (Actonel, Atelvia) Ibandronate (Boniva) Zoledronic acid (Reclast). These drugs create even more brittle bones that break under normal loads. Dr. Thomas Levy, MD, PhD, is a board-... more »

At my medical school graduation (nearly 30 years ago—oy vey!) the dean told us that we were trained with the latest medical information. He continued by stating that, unfortunately, over 50% of what was just taught to us was incorrect. He told us that it was our job to fi... more »

U.S. Army: 5 Reasons No Nation Can Beat Them On the Battlefield
*Michael Peck* *Security, * As in 5 weapons... *The U.S. Army's hard-hitting, self-propelled howitzers have taken a backseat in America's recent small wars. Nonetheless, they remain highly potent weapons.* When it comes to lethal weapons, the U.S. Army has no shortage. Some may be too expensive, some too complex and others may be desired by politicians and defense contractors, but not the troops on the field. *(This first appeared several years ago.)* (*Recommended*: Russia's Deadly Su-35 Fighter) Nonetheless, today's U.S. Army can generate an astonishing amount of firepower ... more »
Here's How the Army Can Win the Wars of the Future
*Dan Goure* *Security, * Or at least a few ideas. *Military modernization is a process of continual change. Fortunately, while the Pentagon was forced to take a 20-year procurement holiday, the aerospace and defense industry continued to work on new concepts and capabilities. They also learned how to adapt commercial technologies to the military’s needs. As a result, the Army may have found much of what it needs to jump-start modernization at the AUSA annual conference.* The Association of the United States Army (AUSA) held its annual meeting and exhibition this week in Washing... more »

If You Hate Trump Thank...1960s Canadian Urban Planning Policy?
A new analysis links urban planning decisions - the freeways and local schools outside cities that made the suburbs possible - from decades past as why right-wing populism exists. They created their correlation by looking at voting trends up to 2010 in in the Toronto area and matched them to people moving out of the city. As the desire for a yard and a house increased, politicians began to consider people who want more comfort and convenience. And now a humanities scholar contends those people are now right-wing populists, in a creepy kind of left-wing frame, but the reason progre... more »

"Moderate" Is A Valued Political Term-- But What Does It Mean And Who Gets To Define It?
*America's most popular political leader is pushing positions popular with voters but not with billionaires*The word "moderate" is more popular with voters than words like "liberal" or "conservative," and politicians always try to claim the word for their own agenda (which is rarely much more than careerist). The Republicans-- and their media allies-- relentlessly define their reactionary agenda as "moderate." Repeating a lie often and passionately enough, especially with lots of money behind that lie, will make it so. Even Democrats, who have issues on their side, start too believ... more »

100 Years After The 'War To End All Wars,' Lessons Of History Are Still Unlearned
No wonder the wars have continued - without pause - since WWI, the "war to end all wars": the lessons have still not been learned. That much was evident in French President Emmanuel Macron's speech over the weekend, blaming nationalism and populism for the war. In fact, the real reasons are far different and provide a stark warning for our times: a declining power (UK) sought to prevent a rising power (Germany) from presenting an economic threat to the old order. The parallels with our time, where the "unipolar moment" with the US at the apex has begun to fade and with that fade have... more »
