Hard To Imagine Trumpists Won't Be Going To Prison Over The Ukraine Cover-Up

Tac-50: A .50 Caliber Record-Breaking Rifle Navy SEALs and Snipers Love
*Mark Episkopos* *Security, * In a 2017 mission against ISIS targets, a JTF2 sniper recorded the world’s longest sniper kill at a staggering 3,871 yards or 2.19 miles. This is the rifle that made it happen. Anti-materiel rifles (AMR) have long been thought to have little practical use, except against a dwindling niche of light vehicles vulnerable to .50 BMG rounds. Then came the McMillan Tac-50, a revolutionary military firearm that combines the reach and stopping power of an AMR with the accuracy of a typical military-grade sniper rifle. The AMR was conceived as an anti-tank ... more »
What Does It Take To Pilot America's F-35 Stealth Jet?
*Mark Episkopos* *Security, * This video will show you. *Key point: *The U.S. military wants the public to appreciate the F-35's prowess. America’s fifth-generation F-35 fighter has occupied the headlines largely for its technical progress, and rightly so; from *weapons systems *to *radar technology*, there’s a lot to write about. Particularly popular-- and not always *positive*-- are cost analyses, but these often gloss over a different kind of human cost: the grueling years of study and training required to pilot an advanced modern fighter like the F-35.

Why Can't America Just Build More F-22 Stealth Fighters?
*TNI Staff* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.dvidshub.net/image/5878257/damaged-f-22-returns-flight] F-22 restart? *Key point:* Building more F-22s sounds great in theory, but it would be very time and money intensive. A 2017 Pentagon report to Congress detailing production retail costs for Lockheed Martin’s F-22 Raptor show that reviving the powerful stealth air superiority fighter would be prohibitively expensive. Moreover, it would take so long to reconstitute the production line that it would not be until the mid to late 2020s before the first “new” F-22s would have... more »
Say What? This Russian Nuclear Submarine Sank Twice
*Robert Farley* *Security, Russia* [image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie-class_submarine#/media/File:DN-SC-89-03179_INS_Chakra_submarine.jpg] How could that happen? *Key Point:* This submarine fiasco shows the limits of Soviet technology. The Cold War saw numerous submarine accidents, especially on the Soviet side. For much of its existence, the USSR tried to maintain a world-beating military with a second-rate economy. Throughout the era, the Soviets struggled to maintain their magnificent weapons of war. In the effort to close this gap, the crews of Soviet submarines ... more »

The *one-minute clip* begins with several shots of *Stoikiy, *before turning to what appears to be the captain ordering the missile launch in condensed military parlance: “Missile attack.

*What's Really Wrong With American Public Schools?* Poverty, low attendance, and negative peer influence all trace back to fatherlessness. There is no good way to measure the success of a public school unless you measure what dictates the success of any public school.

I would not check the cars; I would check the system that is producing dents in the cars. In other words, I would stop the line and measure where ... more »

The U.S. Navy’s Big Mismatch: Old Aircraft Carriers with New Stealth Fighters

One of the U.S. Navy’s oldest carriers will be the first to deploy with the service’s newest fighter, the Navy announced.

According to Lobaev co-cofounder Vladislav Lobaev, “we are intensely researching this topic.

*Kyle Mizokami* *Technology, Americas* All the benefits of an AR-15. *Key point:* The AR-556 is one of many so-called AR pistols. Ruger’s AR-556 pistol, a short-barreled AR-15 designed for one or two-handed operation, delivers rifle-level performance in a pistol-sized configuration. The AR-15 rifle, or ArmaLite Rifle-15, was developed by Eugene Stoner as a potential military firearm. The AR-15, first adopted by the U.S. Air Force and later by the rest of the armed forces, is a gas operated, direct impingement firearm that siphons off gunpowder gasses to cycle the weapon.

Why a Mathematician cannot have an opinion on Global Warming
Let us try to make this as simple as possible. The Great Ice Age lasted over 5,000,000 million years. During this epoch, the global temperature variation has been determined to be around plus or minus five degrees. In practice these are averages and the real time variation was horrendous outside of the tropics and sometimes really dicey there. Climate stability was only plausible on the continental shelf then nicely exposed as all the water was trapped in the northern ice Sheet. Even on the continental shelf outside of the tropics, a blizzard could blow in at any time comin... more »

Crimeans Tell the Real Story of the 2014 Referendum
For those ignorant of history, the breakup of the Soviet Union was terribly messy and retained some of the less inspired aspects of soviet provincial planning. It was never followed by a proper border commission tasked to sort it all out. Instead we saw these oddities retained. Without question the Eastern Ukraine was never Ukrainian, but Russian dominated with all that entail;s and the Crimea was a Tsarist Russian colony early on. I do think that a better solution would have been an International border Commission that tackled all the historic border problems of the old sov... more »

Trump's Tax Cuts: One Big Giant Mistake?
*James Pethokoukis* *Economics, Americas* They may have been oversold to the public. With every economic report that fails to show the US economy consistently growing by at least 3 percent or business investment booming, it may seem increasingly obvious that the 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act is a bust. At least it’s obvious to partisan pundits and the progressive Twitterverse. They’ve already called the time of death for this key piece of Trumponomics.
