Time to Use China's A2/AD Military Strategy Against Them
*James Holmes* *Security, Asia* [image: https://www.flickr.com/photos/usnavy/46601598651/sizes/o/] A U.S. access-denial strategy, then, would impose a hard fate on China. Which is the point. Threatening fearful consequences could deter Beijing from aggression tomorrow morning, and the next. Last week the Pentagon released two appraisals of China in swift succession. The first, issued by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), goes by the title China Military Power and is patterned on the old-school Soviet Military Power tomes beloved by those of us of a vintage to have battled go... more »

The rest of us would call it a way -- or a prayer -- to stop nuclear warheads coming down on our heads at 20 times the speed of sound. DARPA, the Pentagon's pet research agency, wants an interceptor that can stop weapons that are hypersonic (travel faster than Mach 5). The agency has begun soliciting proposals for Glide Breaker , its project to stop boost-glide vehicles that are lofted high into the a... more »

Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* Sunday Thoughts: Well, sort of Sunday thoughts. I haven't used a clip for the Midnight Meme Of The Day very often but tonight's meme is based on the biblical story of a wall, the wall that once surrounded Jericho to keep it safe from undesirables and other foreigners. We all know what happened to that wall in that story. In fact there's a song about the wall and how it came tumbling down. The Parody Project has, as you can see and hear in the clip, adapted the tale to our modern times. Enjoy!

How Theresa May’s Brexit Deal Can Still Happen
*Henry Laurence* *Politics, Europe* [image: Reuters] This is what an alternative agreement might look like. British Prime Minister Theresa May just suffered the most crushing defeat in modern United Kingdom political history when Parliament voted down the proposed Withdrawal Agreement under which Britain would exit the European Union. Although May survived a subsequent no-confidence vote proposed by Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the opposition Labour Party, the UK has been plunged once again into political chaos.

The risk is not that the United States will pre-emptively launch an attack on Iran—as much as th... more »

Trump Is As Bewildered As A Kindergartener At A Seminar On String Theory When Anything Concerning Governance And Economics Comes Up
Late Friday, *Rolling Stone* ran an interview by Andy Kroll with a rare Republican congressman who is acting like he's more afraid of a 2020 Democratic challenge than he is of Trump. Will Hurd only won by the skin of his teeth in November-- 103,285 (49.2%) to 102,359 (48.7%), 926 votes-- winning at all only because the geniuses at the DCCC couldn't figure out it would have been better to run a Mexican-American in a district that is 71% Mexican-American.

How to handle a few inches of snow
When I was in college, there was no e-mail, and the dorms had only one phone to a floor, so we couldn’t even take messages from the college administration on how to handle a few inches of snow.

Rebranding MLK: How the Establishment Blackened His Dream and Whitewashed His Legacy
First, the ruling class kill messengers and then co-opt their messages.

Their likeness and their teachings are then cunningly marketed by the same powers they spoke against to reinforce the status quo.
