Iraq's Resistance Reveals How US Troops Will Be Removed From Its Country
[image: undefined] Yesterday the US attacked five sites in Iraq and killed 3 Iraqi soldiers of the 19th Division, two policeman and a civilian. The strikes came after some 10+ rockets, fired by unknown people, had hit the joint base Camp Tali and had killed 2 US and one British soldiers. Today the US received the revenge for its strikes. The US Central Command had argued that the "defensive precision strike" against the five sites created deterrence i.e. they would prevent other attacks: We believe that this is going to have an effect on deterring -- on deterring future strikes o... more »

What Happens When Department Stores Die?
*The Daily Signal* *Economics, Americas* [image: Reuters] The retail apocalypse goes on. Five years ago, the sad goodbye to an icon began when Macy’s decided to close its flagship location in downtown Pittsburgh. The void, alas, still remains. For most of that building’s storied 110-plus-year-old life, until Macy’s took it 15 years ago, it was Kaufmann’s department store: a place where parents, whether they were working-class or well-to-do, took their babies to get fitted for their first pair of shoes; or purchased their communion dress, prom dress, wedding gown, back-to-school ... more »
Why Iran Is Still Flying America's Feared Cold War F-14 Interceptors
*David Axe* *Security, Middle East* An enemy possessing 79 of the world’s most fearsome interceptors *Key point:* They can still do some serious damage--even if they are really old. On April 9, 1972, Iraq and the Soviet Union signed an historic agreement. The USSR committed to arming the Arab republic with the latest weaponry. In return for sending Baghdad guns, tanks and jet fighters, Moscow got just one thing — influence … in a region that held most of the world’s accessible oil. In neighboring Iran, news of Iraq’s alliance with the Soviets exploded like a bomb. Ethnically P... more »
Joint Russian-Chinese Weapons Could Soon Be Headed To Battlefields Near You
*TNI Staff* *Security, * It's an unequal partnership. *Key point:* While cooperation between Russia and China is booming, Moscow is very much a junior partner to a fast-rising Beijing even if the two sides present it as an alliance of equals. Russia and China are drawing closer together as Moscow faces further isolation from the West. Indeed, the two great powers are starting to co-develop new weapons systems. One such example is a new drone that would be launched from a multiple launch rocket system. "Joint experimental design work with the Chinese side is underway," Tecmash R... more »
Chill on Coronavirus: These 5 Plaques Changed Military History Forever
*Robert Farley* *History, * Win the war, die of the plaque? Disease and war have long worked hand in hand. Concentrations of soldiers operating in unfamiliar circumstances allow the transfer and spread of pathogens across wide populations, including both civilians and opposing armies. For most of human history, disease has inflicted a greater toll on combatants than battle itself. On some occasions, armies have used disease to their advantage, inflicting a horrific toll on their enemies. Here are five of the most militarily important plagues in human history. *Plague of Athens* ... more »
Dead Stealth: What Happens if Fighters Like the F-35 Are Obsolete?
*Malcolm Davis* *Security, Asia* Is the age of the manned fighter jet over? At a recent US Air Force Association conference, Elon Musk, creator of the SpaceX reusable rocket, told thousands of fighter pilots that ‘the fighter jet era has passed’. This declaration on the future of unmanned autonomous systems from one of the world’s most innovative thinkers generated a lot of debate, but it isn’t entirely correct. Rather than crewed aircraft being replaced completely by unmanned systems, we’ll see a partnership of piloted and autonomous systems. The unmanned aircraft will have var... more »

The nerve-shattering echo of an exploding bomb rolled across the mountain landscape. When it was over, a lone figure—Archie Mitchell, ... more »
How India Stopped a Deadly Brain-Damaging Virus Caused by Flying Fox Drool in 2018
*Sebastien Roblin* *Health, * You thought Coronavirus was scary? The frantic, and all too often, belated, efforts by health authorities across the planet in 2020 to respond to the coronavirus 2019 pandemic’s spread can leave the cynical wondering if modern bureaucracies are ever up to the task of containing nature’s natural-born viral killers.

The Poet: Robert Frost, "Into My Own"

It is a fact that just because your child or children have what they need on a physical that they have what they need on an emotional level.

Russia's Su-35 Should be Seen as A Real Threat. Here's Why.
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Europe* Can it take on the best in the U.S. Air Force? Throughout much of the latter part of the Cold War, American fighter jets were largely seen to have an advantage when going up against whatever the Soviets could offer. That included the Su-27, which was introduced in 1988. In the past twenty years, that jet hasn't seen nearly as much action as the American F-15. But the latest derivative of the Su-27 presents a real threat in the air.
