Oh, so NOW you want our goods
My wife follows “Wechat” discussions, and tells me that among the Chinese there are a lot of eyebrows being raised about the US decision to eliminate tariffs on medical equipment from China.

Turkish Russian Ceasefire Results in Alt Media Disdain- In Line With Aspirations of the Empire: Birth Pangs
* In 2018 I'd posted a series of reports that explained how it was, hopefully, Idlib, would be returned to Syria. ** Perhaps not entirely, initially, but most of it will be retaken by Damascus. As explained by Firas Tlass, coming to fruition in the Idlib agreement of 2018. * * This required the removal of the US/UK/French/Israeli terror crowd and the cooperation of Syria, Turkey and Russia. The Usrael Kurd/coalition occupation force are of course the wild cards * * This agreement formed the parameters for the process- it was not etched in stone with fixed dates and the like. * -... more »

How To Start an Economic Depression (Not Coronavirus)? Cheap, Mass-Produced Sea Mines
*Elizabeth White* *Security, World* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_RC1921618220&share=true] Why hasn't it happened yet? When you stop and think about it for any length of time, it seems a miracle that the global economy spins on as well as it does. As the spread of the coronavirus Covid-19 has shown, any decent disruption to the global supply chain causes ripples from tourism to iPhone supply that cost billions. Nevertheless, there’s a level of resilience in the global economy, and even though predictions are sounding dire, there ... more »

*Richard Rule* *History, Europe* [image: Camp commandant, war criminal Rudolf Hoess walking to his gallows next to crematorium in the Nazi German death camp Auschwitz Stammlager in Poland. 1947.

These Dangerous Russian Bombers Aren't Going Away Anytime Soon
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Europe* But which is the best? *Key point: *If Russian military history can teach us anything, the Tu-22M, -95 and -160 will probably be maintained and upgraded for many years to come. Most military equipment in Russian arsenals today is legacy Soviet hardware. Russian bombers are no exception. Although some airframes in Russian inventories are quite old, they remain potent thanks to airframe, electronics and radar upgrades, along with improvements in standoff missiles and precision-guided munitions. Here are Russia’s most dangerous bombers. *Tu-95 “... more »
Rapid Raptors: Why Alaska Sent 24 F-22s Into The Sky In A Hurry
*David Axe* *Security, * Despite the Raptor fleet's readiness woes and ongoing relocation, the Alaska wing is ready to fight. *Key point: *A squadron typically can manage 24 planes as easily as it can manage 18 planes. A U.S. Air Force wing in Alaska managed to launch 24 F-22 Raptor stealth fighters plus an E-3 radar plane and a C-17 transport, all in quick succession.

However, it will take time to perfect them. (Washington, D.C.)

America's F-35 Is Already Outdated: What About a 6th Generation Fighter?
*Michael Peck* *Security, Americas* It depends on more than technology. *Key point: *A U.S. aircraft that doesn’t have an airbase within range of the target, or even an airbase to operate from, is useless. The scenario goes like this: In 2030, Russia invades the Baltic States. As the U.S. sends forces to Europe, China seizes the opportunity to seize disputed islands in the South China Sea. American airpower flies to the rescue, only to discover that sophisticated Russian and Chinese fighters and anti-aircraft defenses have rendered the skies too deadly for older American planes ... more »

Guilty until proven innocent (again): UN report on alleged Russian ‘war crimes’ in Syria is based on ‘We Say So’ & unnamed sources

Would World War II Still Have Happened Without Adolf Hitler?
*Sebastien Roblin* *History, * Without Hitler implementing his genocidal theories, its possible the massacre of millions of Jews and other minorities in the Holocaust would have been averted. *Key point:* Stalin undeniably was down for opportunistic invasions. Legend has it that on September 28, 1918, a wounded Private Adolf Hitler lay in the sights of Henry Tandey, a British soldier who would receive the Victoria Cross for his daring actions in engagement in Marcoing, France.

No Way: Why Turkey Can't Expect Support From NATO in Syria
*Amelie Theussen, Dominika Kunertova* *Politics, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Here's why. A ceasefire has begun in the Syrian province of Idlib after an agreement was reached between Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Moscow on March 5. Conflict had escalated in the province after Syrian government forces, supported by Russian air power, killed at least 34 Turkish troops in late February. In response, Turkey, a NATO member, requested support from the North Atlantic Council, the alliance’s main political decision-making body. Wh... more »
Mike Siegel Heads To A TX-10 Runoff

"Russia Just Told The World, 'No'"
*"Russia Just Told The World, 'No'"* by Tom Luongo "There is real power in the word “No.” In fact, I’d argue that it is the single most powerful word in any language.

Taiwan's New F-16s Won't Save Taipei From China
*David Axe* *Security, * Taiwan’s fighters “will primarily serve a deterrent role defending Taiwan’s airspace in peacetime." *Key point: *Taiwan is finally getting its new F-16s. Right at the moment they’re ceasing to matter. Nearly a decade after first requesting them, the Taiwanese air force finally could get 66 new F-16 fighters to begin replacing some of its older fighter aircraft. But the $8-billion fighter-acquisition, which the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump approved over strong objections from China, likely will do little to alter the overall balance of p... more »
The Brutal Tragedy of Idlib: Why the U.S. Should Stay out of Syria and Dump NATO

Glock Model 19 9mm Gen 4 Gun:The Best Compact Pistol In The World?
*Richard Douglas* *Technology, * Or is this gun just overhyped? Ever since the Glock 19 debuted in 1988, the famous “plastic gun” has been a hit with both private owners and law enforcement. Released in 2009, the fourth generation of the Glock 19 has continued in Glock’s tradition of unrivaled reliability and practicality. Let’s break down the specifics. *Accuracy* The Glock 19 Gen4 is designed for function first. This design philosophy means that the gun parts fit together more loosely than most, making it not as accurate as competition-level pistols. Nevertheless, the Gen4 is ... more »

America's F-52 Stealth Fighter Will Never Be Defeated For One Reason
*TNI Staff* *History, Americas* There is no such thing. *Key point: *Tomorrow’s aircraft will look very different from today’s planes. President Donald Trump back in 2018 told reporters that the United States had delivered the F-52 to Norway. The statement was obviously a mistake; there is no such thing as an F-52 yet. The aircraft only exists in the context of a video game called “Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare”—however, there was once a real world concept that looks similar to the fiction jet. “In November we started delivering the first F-52s and F-35 fighter jets,” Trump sa... more »
$75,000 a Year: That's the Cost of the Green New Deal on Swing State Households
*Chris White* *Economics, Americas* [image: Image: Reuters.] Progressives might have a problem selling this. Americans in nearly a dozen swing states could expect to spend roughly $75,000 per year if the Green New Deal is ever implemented, according to a report Wednesday from a conservative nonprofit group.
