On that day, I was his host and we had interesting chats about the extraterrestrials' strategies and other things. He was old enough to remember Albert Einstein... more »

"From a Correction to a Crash?"
*"From a Correction to a Crash?"* by Brian Maher "Yesterday the Dow Jones was savaged with its single greatest point loss ever (yet not its largest percentage loss, in fairness). Today it shed another 357 points, despite a late afternoon counterattack. It has now heaved up 3,500 points on the week. It is the index’s ghastliest week since the nightmare depths of the financial crisis. The S&P only lost 24 points today. The Nasdaq - by God’s grace - even scratched out a 0.89-point gain! The “correction” presses on nonetheless... running a red pencil across the market’s errors of the p... more »

Covid-19 Outbreak In Asia -- News Updates February 28, 2020
*Time:* *A Silent Epidemic? Experts Fear the Coronavirus Is Spreading Undetected in Southeast Asia* As coronavirus cases continue to soar globally, in at least one region a steady façade of optimism persists. Southeast Asia’s foreign ministers have joined hands with China and declared their intention to “stay strong!” Yet their hastily called meeting in secretive, socialist Laos last week suggests not so much resiliency as the need to shore up mutual support. Health experts are widely skeptical of the numbers reported by China’s neighbors, and believe the deadly infection is sprea... more »

Tulsi Gabbard: Presidential candidates must also condemn election interference by US intelligence agencies
[image: undefined] Reckless claims by anonymous intelligence officials that Russia is “helping” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) are deeply irresponsible. So was former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s calculated decision Tuesday to repeat this unsubstantiated accusation on the debate stage in South Carolina. Enough is enough. I am calling on all presidential candidates to stop playing these dangerous political games and immediately condemn any interference in our elections by out-of-control intelligence agencies. A “news article” published last week in the Washington Post, which set off ... more »
The Threat of a Russia-Turkey-NATO Hot War Over Idlib is a Godsend for US Foreign Policy
[image: undefined] Turkey is calling for NATO’s protection after 33 of its soldiers were killed in an apparent Syrian airstrike in Idlib, allegedly while fighting in terrorist ranks. In the regional chaos that ensues, only one player stands to gain. Speculation over what’s to come next has seen #article 5 trending on Twitter in the hours following the attacks, after Omer Celik, spokesman for Turkey’s ruling AKP party, indicated to reporters in Ankara that he was looking at requesting formal NATO protection against Damascus and, by proxy, the Russian air force. “We call on NATO to ... more »

Why India's Domestically-Made Tejas Fighter Jets May Be In Trouble
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] Can the plane be fixed? *Key point:* The Tejas is India's homemade replacement for its many aging MiG fighters. It is not bad, but it does have a lot of problems. In 2016 the Indian Navy rejected the domestically built Tejas jet fighter—or Light Combat Aircraft—after a troubled thirty-three years of development in which the maritime fighting branch had invested significantly. However, the Indian Navy argued that the Tejas weighed too much, and produced insufficient thrust for takeoff from the ski-jump ramp of its forthcomi... more »
Why the Navy's New Lrasm Missile Would Be a Real Ship-Killer
*Sebastien Roblin* *Technology, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2017%3Anewsml_RC16BB3EC5F0&share=true] A very good idea. *Key Point:* The new missile will help the Navy maintain its deterrence. However, the new missile will cost a lot. On October 11, 1967, the Israeli destroyer *Eilat *was sunk by three P15 cruise missiles fired by two dinky sixty-one-ton patrol boats of the Egyptian Navy firing from nearly twenty miles away. The realization dawned on navies across the world that long-range “over-the-horizon” missiles had replaced the... more »
Stealth Lasers: Will the Air Force Put Anti-Missile Laser Guns on the F-22 and F-35?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2012%3Anewsml_TM3E83P1J6W01&share=true] Sci-fi made real? *Key Point:* As lasers improve, the idea that they could be a commonplace weapon is not so far-fetched. So the military figures why not add them to America's stealth fighters? On April 23, the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) tested a fiber-optic laser at the White Sands Test Range in New Mexico that successfully shot down “multiple air-launched missiles in flight.” The Self-protect High Energy Laser Demonstrator... more »
