Why France's Own 'Tomahawk' Missile Is In Serious Trouble

*Charlie Gao* *Security, Middle East* [image: Wikimedia Commons] A bad performance in Syria was just the start. The jury is still out on how effective Russian and Syrian air defenses were in the April 18, 2018, missile strikes against Syria. While the United States claims that all missiles hit the targets and the Russian MoD claims that over 65 percent of the missiles were intercepted, the truth may not be known for some time. What is known is that some missiles suffered considerable technical difficulties during the strike. The French MdCN and SCALP cruise missiles had the wors... more »

How World War I 'Hackers' Leaked Germany's Offer to Help Mexico 'Take Back' Texas, New Mexico and Arizona

Sebastien Roblin at Test Feed Using Fields - 18 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Americas* [image: Wikimedia Commons] At first the U.S. public thought it was fake news. The rise of the internet has facilitated leaks of sensitive political, financial and military documents that have driven political events—from the Wikileaks to the Panama Papers to Russia’s 2016 election-manipulation operations.

The Mortal Republic (book review)

LL at Virtual Mirage - 19 hours ago
Aspects of our modern politics reminded University of California San Diego historian Edward Watts of the last century of the Roman Republic, roughly 130 B.C. to 27 B.C. That’s why he took a fresh look at the period in his new book, Mortal Republic: How Rome Fell Into Tyranny. Watts chronicles the ways the republic, with a population once devoted to national service and personal honor, was torn to shreds by growing wealth inequality, partisan gridlock, political violence and pandering politicians, and argues that the people of Rome chose to let their democracy die by not protecting t... more »

Why did Schopenhauer lose out in his competition with Hegel?

Anoop Verma at The Verma Report - 19 hours ago
Schopenhauer’s Bust in FrankfurtRandall Collins, in his book *The Sociology of Philosophies: A Global Theory of Intellectual Change*, makes several points on the rivalry between Schopenhauer and Hegel. Here’s a paragraph (from Chapter 12: "Intellectuals Take Control of Their Base: The German University Revolution”) that I find most interesting: The meshing of outer and inner layers helps explain too why Schopenhauer’s pessimism and political conservatism, though mixed with genuinely Idealist ingredients, lost out in competition with Hegel.
