"At one point I put my hand up, like I was back at school"
Now, there's a bit of 'history' (as they say) between Dan Hodges and the BBC's Rob Burley (responsible for *Politics Live*), so that might have been behind Dan's tweet here. But the Brexit Party's Martin Daubney joined in the subsequent exchange, and commented on his own experiences of appearing on the BBC - and such comments are always interesting: *Dan Hodges*: *Politics Live* is basically turning into the political version of Jeremy Kyle. *Ed Mackrill*: I stopped watching it after Jo Coburn and a panel of Remainers spent the entire show trying to get Martin Daubney to say somet... more »
South Korea's Military Has Gone Into Beast Mode
*Daniel R. DePetris* *Security, * Forget all of Kim's missiles. Seoul is the real military power on the Korean Peninsula. There is nothing in the world President Donald Trump despises more than nations who freeload off the United States. Typically, that description is fired at Washington’s friends in Europe, most of whom spend a pittance on their own militaries. But the president often lumps the Republic of Korea in the same boat—yet one more rich country that boasts a massive trade deficit ($9.8 billion) with the United States, but nevertheless remains dependent on Washington f... more »
How Russia's 'Flying' Aircraft Carriers Fought Nazi Germany During World War II
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Eurasia* [image: DVIDS] A battle over the Black Sea. Early in the morning of August 10, 1941, three boxy Soviet TB-3 bombers took off from the airbase at Yevpatoria in the Crimean Peninsula, bearing a most unusual cargo under their gargantuan wings: two manned, stubby-nosed I-16 fighter planes, their Shvetsov radial engines chortling and propellers spinning to help propel the sluggish four-engine TB-3s they were attached to. One of the aircraft-carrying motherships had to abort mission due to technical problems. The six remaining aircraft assumed an... more »

The M14 Is the U.S. Military’s Worst Service Rifle. Ever.
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Americas* [image: DVIDS] And we can tell you all of the reasons why. The M14 is the U.S. military’s worst service rifle. It served as the standard-issue rifle for just six years—by the most generous estimates, half that of the U.S. Army’s second shortest serving rifle, the Krag-Jørgensen. The design itself is fraught with problems. The process of creating it was even worse and led to the dissolution of the U.S. Ordnance Corps and Springfield Armory, the largest producer of American military small arms in history. The modern company, also called Springfie... more »
"Fallen among fundamentalists"
The transcript in the post below, from last night's *Newsnight*, is of a report by the Prince of BBC political profilers, Michael Cockerell. It came with elegiac strings and plainchant (*Pange lingua gloriosi corporis mysterium *- 'Tell, tongue, the mystery of the glorious Body'). Its closing lines might prove controversial. Who exactly are the "fundamentalists" who did for the "dutiful woman"? Theresa May will very soon join the pantheon of former British prime ministers. Mrs May was a dutiful woman who had fallen among fundamentalists. Her legacy is to leave a country as divided ... more »
Highly Illogical, Mr. Sulu
George Takei, better know to some as Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu, the guy who pretended to drive around a big ass flying saucier with Cadillac fins and being yelled at by William Shatner on television way before my time.

Now it seems that the dragon he wishes to slay is Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). Of course Mr. Takei’s tweet was wholly mockworthy, (your editorette at you... more »

Transcript: Michael Cockerill's 'Newsnight' piece on Theresa May, 24 May 2019
*Emily Maitlis*: In the end, then, a bloody, brutal decapitation. A woman forced to metaphorically walk the plank and brought to the brink of tears. It was Theresa May herself who used that phrase - the Nasty Party. Ironic to see her fate played out by a ballot box of votes she never even saw opened. The grey suits of the men and women in shadows long plotting to bring her down. Few feel they knew this Prime Minister well. Perhaps that was the problem. Her friends were a tight bond - but there were many more left outside. So what do we know of her? And how will this extraordinary ... more »
Sometimes the jokes just write themselves
I did a double-take on reading this report. The owner of the life-size replica of Noah’s Ark in Northern Kentucky has sued its insurers for refusing to cover, of all things … rain damage. Ark Encounter, which unveiled the 510-foot-long model in 2016, says that heavy rains in 2017 and 2018 caused a landslide on its access road, and its five insurance carriers refused to cover nearly $1 million in damages. There's more at the link. But . . . what if the insurers claim that rain damage to (of all things!) Noah's Ark was, almost by definition, an Act of God? Peter

Murray Gell-Mann: 1929-2019
Sadly, as reported by The New York Times and many others, Murray Gell-Mann died at home yesterday, May 24th, at age of 89.7. He was clearly one of the greatest living physicists – by integrated achievements. It was cancer that killed him – for years, he's used his broad scientific expertise to defeat that lethal process inside his body. See this talk by Gell-Mann and David Agus about cancer.

*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * [image: Von Z6ehswhha5HGRTd - Eigenes Werk, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=61793535] Here is what we think about it. Until recently, the most common compact .45 caliber handgun was of a type known as the Officer’s model. A derivative of the 1911A1 Government, in 2011 it was finally superseded by an even lighter pistol—the Glock 36. Chambered in .45 ACP and following the same winning formula as previous Glocks, the model 36 could be the best compact single stack .45 on the market today.

Forrestal: Step Aboard America's First 'Super' Aircraft Carrier
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Americas* [image: Wikimedia Commons] The ship that started it all. As the United States prepares to deliver its second one-hundred-thousand-ton *Gerald Ford-*class supercarrier later in 2019, it’s easy to forget that until the mid-1950s the Navy’s carriers displaced between a third or half that much. The *Essex* and larger *Midway-*class carriers built during World War II were designed to launch smaller, slower piston-engine warbirds. But a new generation of carrier-based jet aircraft took up more deck space, required longer decks to takeoff and lan... more »

Shadow Obama admin group issue MSM talking points on Iran
Obama’s dream squad are back to carrying Obama’s water bucket and are now beginning to make multiple play talking points to discredit President Trump on his Iran stance, that of his advisers, and others in the Trump administration… Why?

But the “red line” will be India’s strategic autonomy, which, in the Indo-Pacific context, narrows down to Modi hitching the Indians wagons to Trump’s regional strategies.

“This rock structure is not only surreal - it's real. The reason it's not more famous is that it is, perhaps, smaller than one might guess: the capstone rock overhangs only a few meters.
