U.S. CORONAVIRUS POLICY IS IN THE HANDS OF TRUMP'S AGING BUSINESS CRONIES
Many people in the federal government seem to be taking the coronavirus outbreak seriously. And then, as CNN tells us, there's the guy at the top: President Donald Trump is receiving a steady stream of sometimes-conflicting information about the ongoing coronavirus outbreak that some aides worry is dampening his ability to effectively communicate the realities and risks of the epidemic. Some of the information Trump is receiving is viewed by his team as qualified and some of it appears designed to downplay the global crisis, people familiar with the matter said.

If things had gone differently, America and the Soviet Union would have wiped each other out.

Game Changer: What If The Navy Launched Stealth Bombers From Aircraft Carriers?
*TNI Staff* *Security, * It tried it before. *Key point: *A modern incarnation of a manned carrier-based long-range penetrating strike aircraft might be a solution to the Navy’s range problem. During the closing stages of the Cold War, the United States Navy was developing a new long-range stealth bomber that could strike at even the most heavily defended targets from the deck of an aircraft carrier. But the ill-fated program was cancelled; leaving a gap in naval aviation capability that has not been filled to this day. Called the McDonnell Douglas/General Dynamics A-12 Avenge... more »
America's F-22 Raptor Is Powerful, But Could It Beat The F-23 Stealth Fighter?
*TNI Staff* *Security, * The final operational version of the F-23 would have offered much better range than the Raptor. *Key point:* The Air Force ended up with an excellent plane with the Raptor—but both the YF-22 and YF-23 were outstanding designs. In 1991, Lockheed won the Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) competition and went on to develop the stealthy world beating F-22 Raptor air superiority fighter. While in many ways, Northrop’s losing YF-23 was a *much better design*, but the U.S. Air Force chose the Lockheed aircraft because it believed that company would better manage... more »

*James Holmes* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Nonalignment remains a powerful strain in Indian foreign policy. Still, India and the United States have fashioned placeholders in case things take a drastic turn for the worse in South Asia—one that might prompt New Delhi to tilt toward Washington. India and the United States are natural allies, according to Alice G. Wells, the acting U.S. secretary of state for South and Central Asian affairs. Wells touted the U.S.-India relationship on the eve of President Donald Trump’s state visit to India, which took place last week. The alli... more »
What Afghanistan Can Learn from the Cautionary Tale of Colombia’s Terror Troubles

On February 29, after the completion of a seven-day violence reduction period, U.S. and Taliban negotiators signed a troop withdrawal deal that was meant to usher in an intra-Afghan dialogue.

This Is Why Hitler's Air Force Was Such A Problem For The World War II Allies
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* The strategic air campaign leading up to the invasion was long and bloody. *Key point:* By the time the invasion began, American bomber losses had dropped to negligible proportions, and the Luftwaffe had been virtually driven from the skies over its own homeland. The popular conception of the struggle in the air over northern Europe during World War II is of squadrons of sleek fighters racing over the German heartland to protect contrailed streams of lumbering bombers stretching beyond sight.

Lysol, Clorox: With Coronavirus, The Public Has Abandoned Chemophobia
While 2020 looked to be another year when corporate media journalists would provide the same old Product X "linked to" Disease Y "a new study finds" articles as they have for the entire century, the latest coronavirus, COV-19, has saved us from all that.
