*by Noah* Well, today's the big day. The $enate Trumpers will make it official. It was a perfect treason. If fake Democrats like Joe Manchin want to be Vichy-style collaborators, they will.

*"Fed Cannot Stop Money Printing"* By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com "A year ago, financial writer and precious metals expert Craig Hemke predicted the Fed would be forced to return to money printing.

Now, Hemke says, unlike the other times, this time, the Fed will not be able to stop the money printing. Hemke explains, “You’ve got to keep printing cash to service all this accumulated trillions and trillions of dollars of debt. You can’t grow your way out of it. You have to print... more »

Why China Decided That It Doesn't Need So Many Aircraft Carriers

Sebastien Roblin at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* China isn't America. *Key point: *Beijing may also be having second thoughts on whether springing big bucks for big carriers is the best use of its defense budget. China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy takes many of its cues from the U.S. Navy as it develops its carrier aviation branch. It is seeking similar flat-deck carriers to its U.S. counterpart, and has developed airborne early warning planes and electronic attack jets comparable to American E-2D Hawkeyes and EA-18 Growlers. But that tendency may have backfired for once. That’s because t... more »

Bruce Campbell at The National Interest - 21 hours ago

Canada has reportedly still allowed Boeing 737 Max 8s to fly even after they were grounded almost a year ago. This news emerges despite the fact that crashes involving the plane — Lion Air in Indonesia in October 2018 and, five months later, Ethiopian Airlines in Addis Ababa — killed 346 people, including 18 Canadians. There are some disturbing similarities between the Boeing Max 8 scandal and th... more »

The Soviet Union Loved These Secret Weapons (And So Did The CIA)

Michael Peck at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *History, Americas* But getting their hands on them was not so easy. *Key point:* America's best source for review copies of Soviet weapons was Israel, which collected a vast arsenal of Russian weaponry courtesy of the Arab armies in 1967, 1973 and 1982 Sometimes the Cold War seemed like one big treasure hunt. When one side came out with a new weapon, the other side made every effort to get their hands on a copy to analyze, reverse-engineer or give it to guerrillas fighting the opposition.
