Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* *Sunday Thoughts:* Dear Fake Christians, It's Halloween time! Deal with it, or should I say "Get over it!" I present this meme today just to piss off piety-pretending pseudo-Christians everywhere. Natas, natas! See the sharp knife carve the orange face. May the blackness darken your day! Your souls are already mine! In the Grand Barbecue Pit Of Hell, I toast them like marshmallows on stakes! And, buried deep, deep down under your rotting trash heap of hates and fears, you know it. That's why you are what you are and that's why you act the way you do. Burn, baby, Burn!!!... more »

The Forgotten Story of How the F-15 Almost Joined the U.S. Navy
*Michael Peck* *Security, * A Sea Eagle? *Key point:* Jets that are used for multiple missions tend to sacrifice performance in some area. Back in the 1980s and 1990s, a Dynamic Duo symbolized U.S. military airpower. The Air Force had its powerful F-15 Eagle air superiority fighter. But the Navy had the sophisticated swing-wing F-14 Tomcat, glamorized by the movie *Top Gun*. Yet had events worked out differently, the aircraft that Tom Cruise flew could have been an… F-15 Eagle?

"I Remember..."
"I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more – the feeling that I could last for ever, outlast the sea, the earth, and all men; the deceitful feeling that lures us on to joys, to perils, to love, to vain effort – to death; the triumphant conviction of strength, the heat of life in the handful of dust, the glow in the heart that with every year grows dim, grows cold, grows small, and expires – and expires, too soon, too soon – before life itself." - Joseph Conrad, 1857-1924, English writer, "Youth"
Does Russia's Anti-Drone Pantsir S1 System Even Work?

Kuzmin - vitalykuzmin.net, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=20107357] Let's take a look. *Key point:* It is still unclear just how reliable the Pantsir S-1 is. In November 2018, Viktor Murakhovsky, a writer for the Russian publication *Arsenal of the Fatherland*, posted a comment regarding the performance of Russia’s Pantsir S-1 air-defense system. “In Syria, it turned out that the Pantsir was practically incapable of detecting low-speed and small-sized targets, which include military UAVs. ... more »
America Can Use Drones To Counter Iran's Grey Zone Warfare
*Heiko Borchert* *Security, Americas* Innovation vs. asymmetric war. *Key point: *Drones could greatly enhance America's maritime protection missions. Current incidents in the Arabian Sea should be seized as an opportunity to advance naval conceptual thinking about unmanned maritime systems in gray zone operations. Gray zone activities are an astute object for concept development, as they “creep up on their goals gradually,” rather than involving decisive moves, as Michael Mazarr has argued. In response, Mazarr contends, gray zone operations will “call for a greater emphasis on ... more »

"The Sound of Shoes Dropping in the Night"
*"The Sound of Shoes Dropping in the Night"* by Jim Kunstler "It was interesting to watch the Cable News divas go incandescent under the glare of their own gaslight late yesterday when they received the unpleasant news that the Barr & Durham “review” of RussiaGate had been officially upgraded to a “criminal investigation.” Rachel Maddow’s trademark pouty-face got a workout as she strained to imagine “…what the thing is that Durham might be looking into.” Yes, that’s a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, all right… with a sputtering fuse sticking out of it.

meet GRU Unit 74455
This for Matonis was ominously familiar territory: for more than two years he and the rest of the security industry had watched Russia launch a series of destructive hacking operations against Ukraine, a relentless cyberwar that accompanied Russia's invasion of the country after its pro-Western 2014 revolution. Even as that physical war had killed 13,000 people in Ukraine and displaced millions more, a Russian hacker group known as Sandworm had waged a full-blown cyberwar against Ukraine as well: it had barraged Ukrainian companies, government agencies, railways, and airports w... more »
Russia's Plan To Take Over Finland? Robotic Tanks and Flamethrowers
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Europe* Not a great plan. *Key point: *These World War II drones were only effective in highly-specialized circumstances. On April 18, Moscow announced that it would feature its Uran-9 robot-tanks in its military parade celebrating the seventy-third anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany. The compact Uran-9 bristles with a 30mm cannon and anti-tank missiles—and it is of course, unmanned. The defense ministry also periodically insists that it will develop an unmanned version of its new T-14 Armata main battle tank. Curiously, Moscow has been deve... more »
Japan: A Future Nuclear Weapons Superpower?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* A geopolitical earthquake. *Key point:* Tokyo could get the bomb if it needed to and that would be scary for its neighbors. It is perhaps China’s greatest nightmare: a nuclear-armed Japan. Permanently anchored off the Asian mainland, bristling with nuclear weapons, a nuclear Japan would make China’s security situation much more complex than it is now, and force China to revise both its nuclear doctrine and increase its nuclear arsenal. To be perfectly clear, Japan has no intention of building nuclear weapons. In fact, it has a strong aversion to... more »
Will Russia Get What It Wants in Syria?
*Stratfor Worldview* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Moscow still has a long road ahead of it. *Key point:* Moscow hopes to win big but could pay a high cost. Just over four years after the Russian military intervention in Syria began, Moscow continues to enjoy the diplomatic, commercial and military rewards of its operations in the Levant. By driving a wedge between its NATO foes, testing out new weaponry and more, Russia has notched up a number of strategic and tactical successes in Syria.

On Conservatism’s Decline into Progressive Utopianism
The fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, instead of leading to the end of socialism, led to the weakening of the conservative movement. The 1990s saw the rise of a new breed of conservative politicians and intellectuals who viewed traditional conservatism as an obstacle to electoral success. Under their leadership, conservatism’s links with ancient and medieval knowledge, which is essential for making it a coherent project, was severed. Conservatism ceased to be conservative in the traditional sense; it is now a modernist movement—a vehicle for progressive utopianism.

Battleships: How to Make the U.S. Navy Great Again?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Americas* It's nice to dream--as it will never happen. *Key Point:* America needs a bigger navy. Battleships captivate the imagination. Before they were displaced by aircraft carriers, battleships were symbols of great-power status. Some of the most iconic were the American Iowa class, the last battleships ever built by the United States. Powerful in appearance, yet with sleek lines filled in with haze gray, the Iowa class served in World War II and were unretired three more times to serve as the U.S. Navy’s big guns.

After This War, India Became A Powerhouse and Pakistan Was Ruined
*Michael Peck* *Security, Asia* The 1971 India-Pakistan War's legacy lives on. *Key point: *And Pakistan has never forgiven India. This is what happens when you chop a nation in half. Before December 3, 1971, Pakistan was a country suffering from a split personality disorder. When British India became independent in 1947, the country was divided into Hindu India and Muslim Pakistan. The problem was that East Pakistan and West Pakistan were almost a thousand miles apart, and wedged in between them was archenemy India.

Does Israel Have Something to Fear from Donald Trump?
*Amitai Etzioni* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] The Israelis are concerned that Trump will change his mind about supporting them in the same cavalier way that he switched his position with regard to the Kurds.

The United States Has Supplicants, Not Allies
*Salvatore Babones* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] Alliances are a holdover from nineteenth-century European geopolitics, kept alive by political pundits' juvenile obsessions with strategy games.

A Single World War II Battle Stopped Nazi Germany's Conquest Of Russia
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* The Red Army's first victory against the Germans. *Key point: *Yelnya proved the Red Army's determination. The smell of victory was in the air as the forces of Field Marshal Fedor von Bock’s Army Group Center continued to drive deep into the Ukraine during the final week of June 1941. To most of the young soldiers of the army group it seemed that this would be another unstoppable blitzkrieg. Their commander, however, saw things differently.
