F-35s vs. North Korea: Who Wins the Battle for the Sky in a Second Korean War?
*Dave Majumdar* *Security, Asia* We have an idea. *Indeed, as Jerry Hendrix wrote for The National Interest, any air strike would have to hit their targets simultaneously while Aegis missile defense ships stood ready to shoot down any North Korean ballistic missiles headed toward South Korea and Japan.* In the event a war were to break out on the Korean peninsula, American airpower would play a key role. *(This first appeared in 2017.)* Initially, the burden would likely fall to the Pentagon’s fleet of stealth aircraft including the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor, F-35 Joint Stri... more »

TRUMP IN A LANDSLIDE! (OR MAYBE NOT.)
Politico reports: President Donald Trump has a low approval rating. He is engaging in bitter Twitter wars and facing metastasizing investigations. But if the election were held today, he’d likely ride to a second term in a huge landslide, according to multiple economic models with strong track records of picking presidential winners and losses. Credit a strong U.S. economy featuring low unemployment, rising wages and low gas prices — along with the historic advantage held by incumbent presidents. We can't dismiss the possibility -- maybe even the likelihood -- of a Trump win. Nine... more »
Signature Politics
There was a time when a good part of my political work was organised around petitions. For calling attention to an issue and, of course, selling the ubiquitous newspapers, we found them a handy tool. As a form of activism or expression of solidarity, signing a petition is the least time consuming and cost-free type of political participation there is - bar sharing a Facebook post or retweeting something. This is why people need to calm down about the Revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU petition currently ongoing and be clear about what it can achieve. It clearly has tapped into ... more »

Conscription Is Slavery
[image: undefined] Last month a federal judge in Texas declared the all-male military draft to be unconstitutional because it applies only to men and not also to women. The decision flies in the face of a decision by the Supreme Court in 1981 that upheld the constitutionality of the draft-registration process. Back then, however, women were not permitted to serve in combat roles, which was the justification for the Court’s ruling. Today, women are permitted to serve in combat roles, a point cited by that Texas federal judge. While the controversy might seem academic given that we ha... more »

Evasive Action: Why America Needs to Avoid a Cold War with China
*Peter Harris* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] The contemporary U.S.-China relationship need not become a global struggle for mastery. Are the United States and China on the brink of a new Cold War? If the question is whether U.S.-China relations are destined to closely replicate the U.S.-Soviet rivalry, then the answer is surely “no.” As Joshua Shifrinson has recently (and rightly) argued, today’s superpowers coexist in an international setting much different from—and more forgiving than—that which existed between 1947 and 1989. But this hasn’t stopped a broad range of sc... more »
Bomber vs. Battleship: In 1921, An Experiment Proved Battleships Were Obsolete
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Accept no one seems to have paid attention or decided otherwise. It was a mistake. *The exercises weren’t perfect. Mitchell had claimed he could sink battleships under “war conditions,” but the battleships had been stationary and not underway. They were also not shooting back with antiaircraft fire and were obviously lacking damage-control parties.* In 1921, a controversial military exercise demonstrated to the world the power of aerial warfare in the naval domain. The live-fire exercise off the coast of Virginia, in which several ships were sunk, a... more »
America's Constant State of Hybrid War
*Jyri Raitasalo* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] Shared Western notions of an ongoing hybrid war are corroding various societies and politics. Hybrid warfare has been in the limelight for more than a decade within the Western strategic discourse. During the last five years, this slippery concept has mostly been attached to the malign actions of Russia towards the West. First, it has been claimed that Russia’s hybrid warfare towards the West—containing information warfare, cyber warfare and political warfare—has succeeded in attaining favorable outcomes for Russia. Thus, Ru... more »
Wars, Not Brexit, Destroyed Britain’s Global Power
*Douglas Macgregor* *Security, Europe* [image: Reuters] The lesson to learn from the British Empire is unambiguous: unless the United States is attacked, Washington should avoid direct involvement in continental wars. The British people’s decision to leave the European Union—also known as Brexit—will mark the end of Britain as a world power, Fareed Zakaria argued in a March 14 *Washington Post* column. The United Kingdom will become a modern “Banana Republic,” Zakaria argues, falling from heights of power to a stunning low “for Britain, Europe and the West.” This fact-free assert... more »

*Security, * During the dark days of the Korean War. *An admiral warned Williams to keep quiet about his extraordinary accomplishment—it was important that the United States and the Soviet Union remain officially not at war, and that the Soviets not realize they had been spied upon by the NSA unit. But Royce’s actions did not go entirely unrecognized. A month later, he was summoned to Seoul for drinks with President Elect Dwight Eisenhower—prepared by his son John, no less!—who wanted a briefing on the progress of the air war.

Hitler Was Banking on These 5 Wonder Weapons to Win Word War II (He Was Wrong)
*Warfare History Network* *Security, * A truly historic failure. *Speer later noted in his secret Spandau Prison diary, “I recall a characteristic episode that took place in May 1943 in the East Prussian headquarters…. Hitler was being shown a full-size wooden model of a 180-ton tank that he himself had insisted on. Nobody in the tank forces displayed any interest in the production of these monsters, for each of them would have tied up the productive capacity needed to build six or seven Tiger tanks, and in addition would have presented insoluble supply and spare parts problems... more »
Devin Nunes Still Needs A Hug-- And Not The Kind Of Anaconda Hug That Devin Nunes' Mom Wants To Give Him
For some reason I could never understand, no one on Twitter ever pointed out that Devin Nunes is a hermaphrodite. OK let that go by. But we really do need to ask ourselves if Nunes is a shameless partisan hack-- someone who abuses power and the legal process to injure his political opponents, who plays fast and loose with the truth to advance partisan goals, and who’s prone to conspiratorial thinking on the flimsiest of grounds. That either is or isn't the case. Please-- a yes or no answer! I couldn't resist a quickie post about Nunes on Tuesday after his attorney lamented about ... more »

X-Zone Broradcast Network - Nick Pope
This week I spoke with Nick Pope, he of the UK’s Ministry of Defence UFO desk. This started because I had seen a couple of posts on the Internet suggesting that Nick was some sort of dupe or shill hiding the real UFO program. He was an agent of disinformation. I have been accused of much the same thing, so we talked about that briefly before moving onto more exciting aspects of UFOs. You can listen to the interview here: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/17385894 One of the things that I wanted to clear up, at least in my own mind, is just how big was the UFO investigation when he w... more »

21st Century Prophet: History Will Vindicate Julian Assange
In 2011, on a bright, cold day in May in a resplendent Norfolk jail, Julian Assange reflected on the seismic uprising of a global counterculture, of united students and workers, which could have, and did, scare a thousand kings by reviving the ideals of the 1871 Paris commune within the context of the Information Age. Against this raw new zeitgeist, and against the backdrop of uprisings in US proxy states engendered by Wikileaks’ exposure of… The post 21st Century Prophet: History Will Vindicate Julian Assange appeared first on The Ghion Journal.
