Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* It's more than incompetence of course. Given Trump's love of his fellow racists and his utter disregard for veterans; awarding Rush Limbaugh a Medal Of Freedom right in the face of an also invited 100-year-old Tuskegee Airman was a perfect storm of nihilistic racist opportunity. It's so like Trump to go on TV, before the entire nation, having invited a living symbol of racist hatred and an African-American military man who served his country admirably, and then celebrate the racist like that. Deplorable? Absolutely. Trump just couldn't pass it up. Trump giving Rush Limb... more »

A number of events and trends are coming together now to drive Taiwan, and with it the whole Asia-Pacific region, to the edge of disaster. These include the recent election for Taiwan’s leadership, the unrest in Hong Kong, China’s increasing military might, and the downward spiral of contemporary U.S.-China relations.

Currently, over a fifth of the world’s population lives on a landmass almost *the size* of Europe excluding Russia—it contains deserts, polar-like conditions, rainforests, plains, hills, and temperate forests.

Why Russia Thinks It Has Nothing To Fear From The U.S. F-35
*Michael Peck* *Security, Eurasia* It might be too complex and costly. *Key point: I*t's hard to argue with Drozdenko's observations that war and technology are not the same. Surprise! America's F-35 stealth fighter is too complicated and expensive, claims a Russian military expert interviewed by Russian media. Hard to believe, isn't it? Yet while the Sputnik News interview might be dismissed as tendentious at best and propaganda at worst, it perfectly illustrates how Russia and the West view weapons technology. "The F-35 is a very complex system and, as such, it has lots of hol... more »

Israel's Secret Tactic Against Syrian Air Defenses: Death By Kamikaze Drone
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Middle East* Saturation is the name of the game. *Key Point:* It appears the air defense batteries were overwhelmed by a saturation attack. The implication, then, is that Syrian air defenses have made Israeli attacks more expensive by requiring expenditure of additional and more expensive munitions, but they remain incapable of halting the Israeli strikes. On January 21, Iranian, Syrian and Israeli forces unleashed a hail of missiles upon each other in what is becoming yet another flare-up of violence along the Syria-Israel border. Afterwards, the I... more »

REUTERS/Hamad I Mohammed] Death from the deep. *Key Point:* Given the apparent difficulty of ensuring that submarines never enter torpedo-attack range, it made sense for the Navy to pursue a short-range “hard-kill” defense system designed to blast approaching torpedoes out of the water.
