Andrew KORYBKO at OrientalReview.org - 21 hours ago
The US’ redirection of healthcare items such as masks and other crucial counter-COVID supplies from their original customers abroad to American citizens instead isn’t a modern-day act of “piracy” like it’s popularly being presented, but a revolutionary act of economic nationalism in defiance of globalization that revealed the true Neo-Realist […]

*by Noah* Mask shortage? What mask shortage? Not if you're a Republican! Store sold out? Not to worry! The pandemic offers you an excuse to be who you really are, right out in public! You can just rummage around in your closet (Well, one of them) and come up with a solution that doubles as a fashion statement! And, of course, triples as a political statement, too! I can see every delegate at this year's Republican convention wearing one. There won't be any social distancing there.

Luboš Motl at The Reference Frame - 22 hours ago
The fake news media have acquired so much influence – and the ordinary people have become so incredibly gullible and robbed of the last traces of critical thinking – that the talking heads are able to confuse a large portion of the Westerners – and perhaps a majority – and make them believe that the laymen's irrational and unscientific superstitions are the solid science and vice versa. So the inkspillers have persuaded millions that the scientists believe that there is a big problem with quantum mechanics or string theory or a fatal threat posed by climate change.

If Iran Shot Down A U.S. Surveillance Drone, Russia And China Can Too

David Axe at The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, Middle East* The Air Force knows it has a problem. *Key Point:* The only penetrating ISR vehicles in U.S. service that we know of are a small number of subsonic RQ-170 and RQ-180 stealth drones. The shoot-down of a U.S. Navy surveillance drone on June 20, 2019 underscores a weakness in the Pentagon’s surveillance forces. Aside from a few classified vehicles, the U.S. military largely relies on slow, non-stealthy manned and unmanned aircraft for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. Those ISR systems are vulnerable to the latest Iranian, Chinese an... more »

The Military's E-6 Mercury Is Far Deadlier Than The F-35 Stealth Fighter

Sebastien Roblin at The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Americas* It can control America's nuclear missiles. *Key Point: *The Mercury’s abundant communications gear allows it to perform nonnuclear Command, Control and Communications (C3) operations as well. For this reason, E-6s have at times been deployed to Europe and the Middle East to serve as flying C3 hubs. In a military that operates Raptor stealth fighters, A-10 tank busters, B-52 bombers and Harrier jump jets, the U.S. Navy’s placid-looking E-6 Mercury, based on the 707 airliner, seems particularly inoffensive.
