*Mark Episkopos* *Security, Asia* This is a major, if not long overdue, first step in Taiwan's long and difficult road to naval modernization. *Key point: *Taipei appears to be coming around to the wisdom of asymmetric submarine warfare Taipei and Beijing are seemingly sliding into an escalatory spiral amid a flurry of veiled threats and accusations.

This Is How Hitler's Panzerfaust Became a World War II Tank Killer
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, * Inexpensive and deadly. *Key Point:* German anti-tank teams were most effective in dense or obscured environments such as cities and woodlands. To Allied tank crews during World War II, the Panzerfaust was one of the German army’s deadliest weapons behind the static 88-millimeter cannon, the rocket-propelled Panzerschreck and — most of all — other tanks. The shoulder-launched Panzerfaust, or “tank fist,” propelled a shaped charge warhead around 45–60 meters per second over a distance of 60-100 meters — depending on the Panzerfaust 60 and 100 varia... more »

*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* At the top of a new command structure, Hitler installed himself as supreme military commander. *Key point: *Many officers who remained associated with the general staff performed their duties with the understanding that opposition to Hitler had to be kept quiet. With the end of World War I, the German Army had not been defeated in the field. Surrender had come due to depleted resources and war weariness at home. When the proud German soldiers returned to their country from war-torn France and Belgium, they were welcomed as heroes. The... more »
Stealth Is King: There Are The Best Stealth Weapons Ever Made
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * The idea of making an aircraft invisible to radar waves was not pursued as the properties of radar with regards to object shape were not fully understood. *Key Point*: A popular—possibly apocryphal—legend about the Ohio class holds that they were never detected by rival Soviet submarines and submarine detection systems.

Is China's Coronavirus Recovery 'Fake'?
*The Week:* *China's coronavirus recovery is 'all fake,' whistleblowers and residents claim* China's claims of how it's handling coronavirus recovery should be taken with more than a few grains of salt.

*"Irrelevant Details"* You’ll be on your own during the Age of Chaos by Robert Gore "Once upon a time there was a village right next to a volcano.

At night they’d watch its lava glow against the dark sky. A special class of villagers instructed them on how to interpret the volcano and how they must live their lives to propitiate it. Much of what the village produced was gathered by the special class, an offering tax that was su... more »
