All But 34 Republicans Cast A Very Dangerous Vote Against Seniors On Wednesday
You would think that passing Bobby Scott's Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act (H.R. 1230) would be easy as pie. And it kind of was. It passed the House Monday 261-155, every single Democrat voting yes-- even the worst of the Blue Dogs and New Dems and 34 Republicans jumping the fence to vote with the Dems-- a relatively very large number of Republicans. Almost all the endangered Republicans-- the ones most likely to be defeated in November and who are desperate for every vote they can corral-- voted yes. A dozen examples: *•* Don Bacon (R-NE) *•* Troy Balderson (... more »
The 1 Downside to Building Fake Islands China Didn't See Coming
*Robert Farley* *Security, Asia* [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/WW2-ANNIVERSARY-CHINA-GF10000191004.html] Too much land to defend? *Key point: *Beijing's artificial islands are a double-edged sword. China can use them to project power but they are also a lot more places that Beijing will have to try and defend. China has built some islands in the South China Sea. Can it protect them? During World War II Japan found that control of islands offered some strategic advantages, but not enough to force the United States to reduce each island individually. Moreover, over... more »
North Korea Fact: Trillions of Dollars in Wealth Is Sitting Below the Surface
*Anthony Fensom* *Security, Asia* The reclusive regime sits on $10 trillion in minerals. *Key point: *Investment and profitable extraction won't come until sanctions end. With China accounting for an estimated 90 percent of North Korea’s international trade, the sanctions are set to bite on one of the regime’s last major remaining sources of cash. “There are very limited ways for North Korea to make money: selling weapons, smuggling and mining,” according to Choi Kyung-soo, president of the North Korea Resources Institute in Seoul. “Because of sanctions, it’s very hard for them... more »

ISIS' DIY Tanks: A Killer or a Joke? You Decide.
*Michael Peck* *Security, Middle East* [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/RUSSIA-MILITARY-ARMY-GAMES-RC12A9C6DA80.html] They're shoddy, but deadly. *Key Point:* ISIS is primarily using modified version of the Russian T-55 and T-62 tanks. Mix-and-match tanks are nothing new. The Nazis mounted captured Russian artillery pieces on looted Czechoslovakian tank chassis to create the Marder self-propelled antitank gun. The Israel Defense Forces put British tank cannon on American-made Pattons and American engines on British-made Centurions. But a surprising source of do-it-... more »
BANG, BANG: Meet the Army's New High-Tech Long-Range Artillery
*Dan Goure* *Technology, Americas* [image: Reuters] Very advanced and highly mobile. It is generally recognized that the key to the U.S. Army’s efforts to prepare itself for a new era of great power conflict is a new set of long-range fire systems. General John Murray, the head of Army Futures Command, testified before Congress that “our first modernization priority is to restore the Army’s Long-Range Precision Fires (LRPF) capabilities in order to regain our dominance in range, lethality, and target acquisition.” To that end, the Army has a plan to upgrade or modernize its array... more »
The Navy Almost Snagged the F-15 Eagle
*Michael Peck* *Security, * [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/UKRAINE-DRILLS--RC1E80C72B10.html] Eventually both the Navy and Air Force were satisfied with their planes. *Key Point:* Politics is the primary reason the F-15 ended up in the Air Force. 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... more »

The Richmond protest: things are getting squirrelly out there
Last week I repeated a warning that's been sounded by many people whose judgment I respect. The "Lobby Day" in Richmond, Virginia on Monday, January 20th, directed against the new anti-gun proposals and legislation being imposed by the newly-elected Democratic Party government of the state, is turning into a tailor-made opportunity for anti-Second Amendment, anti-gun, anti-freedom, pro-statist propaganda. Those forces are already preparing the ground to portray all those who support the Second Amendment and enjoy the use of firearms as knuckle-dragging, proto-Neanderthal, diehard... more »

An Aging Population Is a Bigger National Security Threat to Japan Than China Is
*Steven Kopits* *Demographics, Asia* [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/JAPAN-ELDERLY--RC1C0651C800.html] What can be done? *Key point:* Tokyo doesn't have enough babies and young workers to keep up its tax income and finances. This means that, over time, Japan will have less money and fewer soldiers to defend itself with. In the last twenty years, it has been customary to refer to Japan’s weak economic performance as a lost decade. Demographics tell us that we are moving well beyond that.

Brazil's New Taurus G3 Might Be The Hottest Handgun On the Market
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, South America* Say goodbye to the Glock 19. *Key Point:* The G3 has the edge against its competitors when it comes to length, height, width, and weight. High capacity nine millimeter pistols were first introduced to the public as service pistols. Built for military and police without regard for size, service pistols were full-sized handguns that prioritized recoil reduction and magazine capacity over concealability. Over the years a compromise has evolved, resulting in a pistol mixing all three features. The Glock 19 is cited as the ideal compromise, ... more »
Secrets Stolen: What Will China Do With Data On Israel's Iron Dome Missile Defense?
*Michael Peck* *Security, * If China can break into top-secret Israeli computers, they can break into America’s—and everybody else’s, too. *Key point: *America should be worried. A cybersecurity firm reports that Chinese hackers have stolen technical data for the Iron Dome rocket-defense system from Israeli computers. Maryland-based Cyber Engineering Services detected the cyber burglary, according to cybersecurity writer Brian Krebs. “Between Oct. 10, 2011 and Aug. 13, 2012, attackers thought to be operating out of China hacked into the corporate networks of three top Israeli d... more »
Apparently You Don't Have To Be An American To Land On a U.S. Aircraft Carrier
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, * [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/USA-GULF-SECURITY-RC24HD9Y45ZU.html] This Finnish pilot pulled it off. *Key Point:* This was the best training experience the Finns could ask for. On March 17, 2017 in the Atlantic, a fighter jet landed onto the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. The only difference this time was that the pilot was Finnish, not American. Capt. Juha “Stallion” Jarvinen’s landing was the first landing on an aircraft carrier by a Finnish air force pilot in history, according to the U.S. Navy. Jarvinen was ... more »
