If The DCCC Would Stop Recruiting Jeff Van Drew-Types, Medicare-For-All Would Win Many More Congressional Seats For Democrats
Data for Progress, Sean McElwee's outfit, has been doing an especially important-- even magnificent-- job this cycle. On Friday McElwee took on-- with data-- the most pernicious predators playing in the 2020 Democratic primary, the Partnership for America's Health Care Future, a multimillion-dollar cooperative designed to overwhelm not just the swelling Medicare for All movement, but every single Democratic proposal that would significantly expand the government's role in health care.

Nuclear Weapons Might Just Be the Ultimate Paper Tiger. Here Is What a Military Analyst Told Us.
*Robert Farley* *Security, Americas* [image: Redwing Apache] Not so scary? Maybe. *Key Point:* A weapon so deadly it can't be used? “Overrated” is a challenging concept. In sports, a player can be “great” and “overrated” at the same time. Future Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Derek Jeter, for example, is quite clearly a “great” player, well deserving of the first ballot invitation he will likely receive. However, as virtually all statistically minded aficionados of the game have noted, he is highly overrated (especially on defense) by the baseball press. Similarly, no o... more »
Revealed: How China's Military Caught Up With America and Russia So Fast
*Robert Farley* *Security, Asia* Espionage and theft. *Key point: *The United States has become increasingly aggressive about slowing down or halting China’s industrial espionage efforts. As the People’s Republic of China (PRC) emerged from war and revolution in 1949, it became apparent that the Chinese economy lacked the capacity to compete with the U.S. or the U.S.S.R. in the production of advanced military technology. Transfers from the Soviet Union helped remedy the gap in the 1950s, as did transfers from the United States and Europe in the 1970s and 1980s. Still, *the Cult... more »

*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* In 2010, North Korea sank a South Korean warship and 40 sailors died tragically.

Tasmanian Tiger Researcher Has Bold Plan to Prove Creature is Not Extinct

Are We All Socialists When It Comes to Medicare?
The absurdity of painting medicare as socialism has never been properly addressed. Yet that has been peddled by politicians and their like for decades. Stop it already. First off, every citizen is an earning asset of the government simply because they are able to pay taxes. Thus the government must create protocols that will secure the value of those assets. That certainly includes education and our current problem there again comes from the finance industry gaming the cash stream using government guarantees.

Like Sporting Rifles? These 5 Are Second To None
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, North America* Check them out. *Key point: *The post-9/11 wars fueled these weapons's rise. The field of modern sporting rifles—semiautomatic rifles with detachable magazines—has exploded in popularity over the past decade. The expiration of the Federal 1994–2004 Assault Weapons Ban and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan fueled an interest in these weapons. Innovation, in part due to research and development into military small arms, introduced new and interesting rifle designs.

A Naval Historian Takes Us Inside Hitler's Forgotten Crazy Battleship Fleet Plan

*Security, Europe* [image: Weapons and Warfare] Thank God it never happened. *Key Point:* Hitler wanted a lot of battleships. In the mid-1930s, the Nazi government began to plan in detail for the reconstruction of German naval power. The destruction of the German High Seas Fleet at Scapa Flow remained central to the mythology of German betrayal and defeat in World War I; rebuilding the fleet would be a grand achievement worthy of the Nazis, but also in accord with long-term German foreign policy goals.

Firearms have a well-deserved reputation for appearing large and bulky.

*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Later, a navigation officer on one of Japan’s surviving destroyers calculated that the “pillar of fire reached a height of 2,000 meters, that the mushroom-shaped cloud rose to a height of 6,000 meters.” *Key point:* The destruction of *Yamato* was inevitable even as far back as the attack on Pearl Harbor.

*Robert Farley* *Security, * She was a terror. *Key point: *Various proposals were floated for reactivating the Iowas over the next twenty-five years.

Although much more could be accomplished in 1938 with thirty-five thousand tons than in 1921, sacrifices still had to be made.
