Buyer Beware: India's Russian-Made Aircraft Carrier Was A Hunk Of Junk
*Kyle Mizokami* *History, Asia* But it was better than nothing. *Key point: *India has been a big buyer of Russian weapons for 50 years. Like a lot of countries, India wants the best weapons it can afford. But ideological and financial concerns mean there are a lot of things it won’t buy from the United States or Europe. That pretty much leaves, well, Russia. India has been a big buyer of Russian weapons for 50 years. Those haven’t been easy years for New Delhi. India’s defense contracts with Russia have consistently suffered delays and cost overruns. And the resulting hardware ... more »

Bertrand Russell, "Three Passions"
*"Three Passions" * "Three passions have governed my life: The longings for love, the search for knowledge, And unbearable pity for the suffering of humankind. Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness. In the union of love I have seen In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of people. I have wished to know why the stars shine. Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens, But always pity brought me back to earth; Cries of pain reverberated in m... more »

Is The U.S. Navy's New Ford-Class Carrier Program A Massive Mistake?
Reuters *Dan Grazier, National Interest*: *Did America Make a Big Mistake Building the New Ford-Class Carrier?* *Lot of problems.* Key point: The Ford-class makes a lot of promises but is very expensive and has had several issues. Pres. Donald Trump used the Navy’s next-generation aircraft carrier, USS Gerald R. Ford, as a backdrop to unveil his vision for the next defense budget in March 2017. The moment was meant to symbolize his commitment to rebuilding the military, but it also positioned the president in front of a monument to the Navy’s and defense industry’s ability to ju... more »

Look Out Kim Jong-Un: South Korea's Daewoo K2 Rifle Is A Real Killer
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* Better than the M-16. *Key point:* The design and adoption of the K2 was a major milestone for South Korea. In the late twentieth century, one of the hallmarks of a modern military was a country’s ability to design and manufacture its own rifles. South Korea, an emerging military power, took that to heart and produced the K2 assault rifle. A blend of good ideas borrowed from other rifles, the K2 has served Republic of Korea forces for 35 years and with a raft of upgrades will serve for years more to come. After the Korean War, the Republic of Ko... more »

Russia Got Its Hands On A U.S. Tomahawk Missile In Syria (And Plans To Counter Them)
*Michael Peck* *Security, Middle East* Sometimes missiles fail to explode. *Key point: *If it’s just a question of jamming the Tomahawk, then the United States will modify the missile’s systems to compensate for that jamming. Here’s a tip: if you don’t want the enemy to capture your weapons, then don’t use them. But if you’re afraid to use them because they might be captured, then what are good are they? Russia is crowing that it has recovered America’s Tomahawk cruise missiles that were launched in Syria but failed to explode. Russian officials have promised that examining tw... more »
The Royal Navy Isn't Done Yet: Great Britain Is Replacing Its Type 45 Destroyer
*David Axe* *Security, Europe* The Type 26 will enter service in the mid-2020s. *Key point: *Cost considerations are driving the Royal Navy's procurement plans. The Royal Navy may already have identified a possible replacement for its Type 45 destroyers. A version of the new Type 26 frigate, which should enter service with the U.K. fleet in the mid-2020s, ultimately could replace the air-defense-optimized Type 45s beginning in the 2030s. The prospect of developing an air-defense variant of the Type 26 offers some hope to the United Kingdom’s beleaguered naval shipbuilders that t... more »

Trump Went Crazy In Hershey
On Tuesday night, the Trump circus found its way to Hershey, Pennsylvania, where Pennsylvania's 9th, 10th, and 11th congressional districts meet. Hershey is in the 10th. Trump won all three districts and all three are held by Republicans in Congress, but the 10th is the least solidly Republican and I suspect Rep. Scott Perry was worried that Trump was showing up in his district, which Trump only won with 52.3% in 2016. According to the latest Morning Consult numbers, Trump's approval statewide has decreased by 17 points since he was inaugurated and now stands at 45% approve, 52% d... more »

In 1956, A Nuclear World War III Almost Broke Out Between Britain, France, Israel, and Russia
*Michael Peck* *History, Middle East* And America would not have been directly involved. *Key point:* A European imperial plot went horribly wrong. The war began with an imperialist invasion to seize the Suez Canal. It ended with the Soviet Union threatening to nuke Britain, France and Israel. The 1956 British and French attack on Suez, and the parallel 1956 Israel-Egypt War, have to be among the strangest conflicts in history.

Bad News for Taiwan: China Has Russia's S-400 Missiles

The Chinese military's new S-400 surface-to-air missile system can hit targets more than 150 miles away, if the reported result of the type's first-ever test in Chinese service is accurate. The Taiwan strait is just 140 miles across at its widest point, meaning that, in theory, Chinese S-400s could target Taiwanese warplanes shortly after they take off. But the short distance separating China and Taiwan works both ways. At the ... more »

No Biggie. DJT Gets Re-elected We'll Just Impeach Him Again
Impeachment is a ridiculous bit of theater that has failed in its most basic mission. It was supposed to damage the President while convincing American voters that DJT, and by extension Republicans, were criminals. They were supposed to reject both the man and the party in favor of some joke-candidate like Joe Biden. Polls show that’s not going to happen. They’re out of ideas, their Hail Mary is failing, and their 2020 field is such a mess that even the most stalwart lefties are rolling their eyes. So, what are Dems to do? They’re going to do the same thing all over again, that’s wh... more »
Grinch Science: Mistletoe Is A Tree-Plundering Parasite
Christmas and mistletoe: have you ever simply asked yourself … why? I have studied plant parasites like mistletoe for almost ten years, and I’m here to tell you that the answer is absolutely fascinating. In Norse mythology, Baldur (younger brother to magic-hammer-wielding Thor), was the subject of a premonition from his mother Frigg, who could see the future: he would be killed. Frigg tackled this head on, extracting an oath from every object on Earth, to avoid harming her son. This was agreeable to all … except mistletoe, which was overlooked. read more

Chet Raymo, "Know Thyself"
*"Know Thyself"* by Chet Raymo "The ancient Greek aphorism, attributed to Socrates and others. Good advice, I'm sure. If only we knew what it means. Is it the same as the "examination of conscience" we were asked to perform as young Catholics? "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned." Well, yes, it is good to ask ourselves if we have lived up to our highest moral aspirations. But surely "Know thyself" means more than that. Does it mean to be aware of our self-awareness? That is to say, not to act impulsively, but reflectively. Thoreau's "I went to the woods because I wished to live d... more »
