Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* President Trump, the best friend our adversaries has ever had, has now formally announced our withdrawal from the Paris agreement on climate change. And, why wouldn't he? It doesn't just hurt us physically; it hurts us economically, and I don't mean just the drowning cities along our coastline. It will also continue to set us back when it comes to preparing for the effects of climate change, whether it's the desertification of our farmlands that could finish the job that his tariff impositions have begun or the stalling of renewable energy development.

How Did Nazi Germany Crush France During World War II So Easily?
*Daniel L. Davis* *History, Europe* [image: By Matthias Holländer - Own work, CC0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=16209871] Though Germany eventually lost World War II and France again ended up on the victorious side, the leadership traits demonstrated before and during the battle in 1940 are textbook examples of what makes for great leadership—and what kind of leadership leads to defeat. *Key point: *Flexible leadership by the generals was a vital difference- a difference that Hitler would later squash during the war against the Soviets.

How much of a threat do Russia's emerging 5th-generation stealth fighter, nuclear arsenal, high-tech air defenses, anti-satellite weapons, conventional army and submarines pose to NATO and the U.S.? Current tensions between Russia and NATO are leading many to carefully assess this question and examine the current state of weaponry and technological sophistication of the Ru... more »
Armistice Day 11/11/19
(Click on the comic strip for a larger view.) In 1959, Pogo creator Walt Kelly wrote: The eleventh day of the eleventh month has always seemed to me to be special. Even if the reason for it fell apart as the years went on, it was a symbol of something close to the high part of the heart. Perhaps a life that stretches through two or three wars takes its first war rather seriously, but I still
