Masks Are Important-- And Something You Can Do To Protect Yourself... And Everyone Else
*Don't ask me why, but politicians seem to be afraid of being photographed wearing masks. Andy Levin (D-MI), a real leader is not afraid-- and he's leading by example. Today was his first day heading out in public wearing a mask like the CDC now suggests. "I'm going to do a curbside grocery pick-up in my Chevy Bolt RV right now," he told me. "America, world, we've got this! (Even if we have to work around a few clueless leaders.)"* Remember when the government said don't buy a mask because they don't work and hospital workers need them? And remember realizing there was a disconnect ... more »
Britain and Spain Smashed Napoleon At This Battle
*Simon Rees* *History, Europe* [image: Preparing for battle] The bloody stand at Albuera. Amid gun smoke and squalls of rain, the men of 1st Battalion, 3rd Foot, known as the Buffs, were firing their weapons and listening for further orders. Others tended to wounds, while still more were dying or already dead. The unit had run into a maelstrom of cannon shot and musket balls, exchanged volleys, and then joined a brigade-wide charge: stabbing, clubbing, and clawing their way forward until their opponents briefly wavered. However, the French held firm and had soon forced the Briti... more »
Counterterrorism, Coronavirus, and Confusion: America Is Facing Serious Challenges In Iraq
*Eldad Shavit, Ari Heistein* *Security, Middle East* [image: An Iraqi soldier wears a protective face mask and gloves, following the outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), as he stands guard during the hand over of Qayyarah Airfield West from US-led coalition forces to Iraqi Security Forces] The United States needs a clear strategy. The future of the U.S. policy in Iraq is uncertain, as the American military presence there stands at the intersection of several key goals with considerable discord between them: counter-terrorism, ending “endless wars” in the Middle East, and t... more »
The Navy's New Guided Missile Frigate Has America's Enemies On Edge
*Kris Osborn* *Security, * The FFG(X) is changing warfare. *Key point: *The Navy expects that new weapons and sensors will better enable the ship to destroy swarming small boat attacks, support carrier strike groups, conduct dis-aggregated operations, attack enemies with an over-the-horizon missile and engage in advanced surface and anti-submarine warfare. The Navy envisions a new multi-mission Guided Missile Frigate able to sense enemy targets from great distances, fire next-generation precision weaponry, utilize new networking and ISR technologies, operate unmanned systems an... more »
This Was the Thermopylae of the Civil War.
*William B. Allmon* *History, Americas* [image: Battle of Allatoona Pass by Thure de Thulstrup. 19 December 1887. Library of Congress.] Called “the Thermopylae of the Civil War” by one author, Allatoona had a profound effect on the war in Georgia. “Had Corse lost the important supply base,” Nevin wrote, “Grant and the high command might well have dashed Sherman’s hopes for a march to the sea.” On September 2, 1864, after a hundred-day campaign from southern Tennessee through northwestern Georgia, Sherman’s armies entered Atlanta after its evacuation by Confederate forces. “Atlan... more »
Why China Was Crushed by Europe and America
*Warfare History Network* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] The Chinese Army of the mid-19th century was in serious decline, its decay a reflection of the Qing Dynasty that produced it. The Qing originally sprang from the Juchen peoples, hard-riding tribesmen who occupied the territory north of Korea. In the 17th century Nurhachi of the Ansin Gioro clan united the Juchen tribes under his leadership. He created military units called “Banners,” each distinguished by a colored flag. Eventually there were eight banners; the list including bordered yellow, plain yellow, plain whi... more »
How China Is Using Coronavirus To Wage Political Warfare
*Dean Cheng* *Politics, Asia* [image: A worker carries a box while unloading a shipment of medical and protective gear sent from China to help the fight against coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak at Almaty International Airport, Kazakhstan April 2, 2020. REUTERS/Pavel Mikheyev] It's a continuation of war by other means. Even amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, China’s efforts at political warfare remain in full swing. China assiduously tries to shape the world’s view of COVID-19, and China’s role in it, by denying any responsibility for the rise and spread of the new co... more »
Another War With North Korea Would Make Coronavirus Look Like A Picnic
*Ryan Pickrell* *Security, Asia* Imagine sheltering in place... permanently. *Key point: *The North Korean nuclear threat is one that has puzzled world leaders for decades, and the North’s arsenal of ballistic missiles and nuclear weaponry is growing with each passing day. Dozens upon dozens of missiles take flight. For years, the world had heard warnings, but most doubted the day would ever come. Most fall before allied defenses, but one missile finds its mark — it’s the one that matters most. In a flash, hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people perish. Would North Kor... more »
Transparency In China Could Have Saved Thousands Of People From Coronavirus
*Patrick Mendis, Joey Wang* *Security, Asia* Beijing deserves condemnation for its actions. Given the absolute power of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the Wuhan authorities have controlled the dissemination of information for the fear of possible impacts on social order and political stability. It was hardly a surprise, therefore, that the CPC has been willing to mortgage the health of its citizens during this coronavirus debacle for the preservation of the system. Indeed, while China has responded faster to the coronavirus epidemic than its SARS outbreak in 2002–03, the CP... more »
Donald Trump Messed Up America's Coronavirus Response (Will He Pay In 2020?)
*Peter Harris* *Politics, Americas* The president didn't create the virus, but he is responsible for failing to galvanize a national effort to fight it. *Key point:* If the American people suffer as badly or worse than the Chinese, Italians, or Iranians, then they will be forgiven for wanting someone to blame for their hardships Thomas Wright of the Brookings Institution has made a bold prediction: that if the coronavirus pandemic continues to worsen in the United States, President Trump will not survive long enough to face the electorate in November. Such a suggestion would hav... more »
Why Skeptics Are Wrong About the Deadliness of Coronavirus
*Maarten Boudry* *Public Health, World* [image: Reuters] It's more deadly than some think. Every prophet of doom, unless he also happens to be a psychopath, hopes that his predictions will not be borne out. This is also true for the epidemiologists and virologists who have been warning the world since January that the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus poses a severe threat to public health around the world. Since then, these pessimists have been butting heads with a group of sceptics or “minimalists”, who have reassured us that there is nothing to worry about: the panic is more dangerous t... more »
U.S. Sanctions are Impeding Iran's Ability to Survive the Coronavirus
*Geneive Abdo* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] The Trump administration has vowed to keep up the “maximum pressure” campaign on Tehran no matter how many Iranians die during the pandemic. Iraq’s new prime minister-designate Adnan Al-Zurfi has about two weeks left to gain enough parliamentary votes to secure his position and form a new government. Once again, Iraq is struggling without a functioning government and there is formidable opposition to Zurfi. Even if this political stalemate were the only challenge facing the country, it would be a crisis. But there are ot... more »

The United States is the Sick Man of North America
(By *American Zen*'s Mike Flannigan, on loan from Ari.) *I*t's an apt description of our country. China, which was once called "the sick man of Asia (or East Asia)" is, after all, the originator of this disease named coronavirus and its endgame, COVID-19. And in January, China was the epicenter. Then it spread to Europe and in February. Italy became the epicenter. By March, it was our turn. The United States now leads the world in coronavirus cases. Our nation that comprises only 5% of the world's population now accounts for a quarter of the planet's confirmed cases. Or, to put ... more »
Coronavirus: Are We Any Closer to Creating a Vaccine?
*Kylie Quinn, Damian Purcell* *Public Health, World* [image: Reuters] Here's where we are now. SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is changing how we live. With a rapid increase in cases, we are now isolating in our homes to “flatten the curve”. However, it will be nearly impossible to eradicate the virus simultaneously all around the world. And when we do emerge from isolation, the virus could potentially re-establish itself. Our best chance to keep it in check in the future will be to develop a vaccine. Australia’s CSIRO has just begun testing two new vaccine candida... more »
South Korea's Coronavirus Strategy Won't Work In America
*Robert E. Kelly* *Politics, Asia* Different countries require different responses. *Key point: *South Korea has a very different population distribution and healthcare system. Now that South Korea seems to be getting its coronavirus outbreak under control, there’s been much talk that the U.S. might mimic its success. Unlike China, South Korea is a democracy. Its anti-coronavirus actions have broadly remained within liberal parameters and not set off too much constitutional debate about civil liberties during an epidemic. China obviously can be far more repressive and therefore ... more »

The F-22 Is Becoming A Force Multiplier For America's Non-Stealth Fighters
*David Axe* *Technology, Americas* 2020 could be the year the Raptor finally fulfills its promise as the world’s best fighter. *Key Point:* The Raptor with its stealth and powerful sensors could help direct other forces in combat, provided it voicelessly can communicate. The Air Force and Lockheed plan to begin installing on the roughly 180 F-22s the Link-16 datalink, which allows U.S. and allied forces to swap location and targeting data via voiceless radio message. Link-16 is standard on U.S. and allied planes, ships and air-defense systems, but the F-22 at present doesn’t inc... more »

The Consequences of the Pandemic for China and the World
*Bradley A. Thayer, Lianchao Han* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] China cannot return to the status quo before the outbreak. To address this, in the post-pandemic era within China, the Xi Jinping clique that rules the country will move to focus on its regime security that has shaken by the pandemic, in order to prevent a systemic collapse at all costs. The consequences of the coronavirus pandemic are profound and borne by the rest of the world. There are five significant implications of the crisis for China and the world. First, China’s reckless behavior has resulted in a very... more »
Coronavirus Is Empowering Dictators And Changing The World Order
*Seth J. Frantzman* *Security, Middle East* From the Schengen zone agreements to life in the Gulf, coronavirus has shattered what is considered normal in a few short weeks. The global pandemic of coronavirus will fundamentally re-shape the world order as it upends systems which publics have come to take for granted. Internationally, it is also accelerating the breakdown of the liberal international order. Major themes of the last decades, such as the global war on terror, the rise of populism and the retreat of democracy in countries like Russia have all reshaped the world. The r... more »
Contemporary Russia Faces a Full Panoply of Interlocking Crises
*Lyle J. Goldstein* *Security, Eurasia* [image: Reuters] Vladimir Putin’s leadership has hardly been flawless but it has broadly comported rationally with Russia’s difficult strategic and economic position. It’s deathly quiet in Moscow now like everywhere else. In a densely populated megalopolis, somewhat akin to New York City, there is little doubt that the coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, could spread like wildfire. Russian leaders seem to be taking the virus with all appropriate seriousness. By dispatching a military, medical team to Italy at the end of March, the Kremlin... more »
"The Cobra Effect"
*"The Cobra Effect"* by Hardscrabble Farmer "Last night I dreamed that I was at the local supermarket. The weather was dark and overcast and there was a cold drizzle falling as I walked across the parking lot. As I got closer to the entrance I saw my neighbor, an elderly woman I have known almost as long as I have lived here standing outside of the doors, waiting to go in. Something compelled me to go to her and as I came up behind her I reached out and took her hand in mine, gently, like you would hold a baby chick. Her hand instinctively clasped mine tighter and as she turned to ... more »

The Revolution of The Virus
The factor that, above all others, shaped the history of the twentieth century was something that happened in the century’s second decade: The Russian Revolution. In the twenty-first century too, the second decade is turning out to be eventful—this time, it’s a pandemic that has brought the world economy to a standstill for a period of, what may eventually be, several months, and it’s bound to have massive political consequences, especially in the advanced democracies. Perhaps, it will turn out to be the outstanding characteristic of this century—one that will merit a lot of explan... more »

President Trump Defends His Decision To Fire The Inspector General Of The Intelligence Community
*Reuters:* *'He's a total disgrace': Trump defends firing U.S. intel watchdog* WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Saturday defended his decision to fire the top watchdog of the U.S. Intelligence Community, saying Michael Atkinson did “a terrible job” in handling the whistleblower complaint that triggered an impeachment probe of Trump last year. “He took a fake report, and he brought it to Congress,” Trump said during a briefing on the novel coronavirus pandemic. Late on Friday, the White House told Atkinson, the Intelligence Community’s inspector general, that he w... more »

REUTERS/] We could be in the neighborhood of South Africa and Kenya. The U.S. unemployment rate climbed from a half-century low of 3.5% to 4.4% in March – and is expected to go a lot higher.

Howdy: Meet the CZ Sharp-Tail Coach—the Ultimate Cowboy Shotgun?
*Richard Douglas* *Technology, Americas* You've yeed your last haw. The CZ Sharp-Tail Coach is the perfect blend of cowboy cool looks with modern technological design. The first thing I noticed about the CZ Sharp-Tail Coach (and CZ Redhead Premier) side by side shotgun is that these guns are purdy! With its Turkish walnut stock and forend, color-case hardened metal finish and laser-etched scrolling, this gun is definitely eye-catching. But aesthetics aside, when I’m in the market for a gun, functionality is always going to be at the top of my checklist. Question is: Does the CZ ... more »
Why Guantanamo Bay Likely Won't Ever Shut Down
*Peter Suciu* *Politics, Americas* Political promises thus far have not delivered. It has been dubbed a "most secret place" and an "island outside the law" – it is the prison camp at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base (officially Naval Station Guantanamo Bay or NSGB). While today the mere word "Guantanamo" is often used in the media to denote the detention center, in fact, that is just part of the United States military base located on 45 square miles of land and water at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. The existing migrant detention facilities were only expanded in response to the 9/11 attack... more »

Trump vs Democracy
Our heroic jefe, Señor Trumpanzee, is not just a war-time president, he's fighting a war on two fronts-- one against the COVID-19 pandemic-- who could have known?-- and one against democracy. Yesterday, Alex Isenstadt reported from the front lines in Trumpanzee's war against democracy. As you can see on the chart above, 65% of registered voters support the idea of vote by mail-- including 93% of Democrats, 70% of independents and even 32% of Republicans. It is notable that 68% of Republicans oppose vote by mail. Makes no sense. Actually it does. Historically, conservatives have al... more »

Blood in the Streets, in Businesses, in Religious Sanctuaries, in Homes
[image: undefined] Over the last few weeks, politicians at the local, state, and national levels of government have been increasingly asserting extraordinary power in the name of fighting coronavirus. As the power exercise continues to ramp up, and as the time people suffer lost liberty and lost income runs on, expect the crackdown to increasingly involve physical violence. The longer the crackdown continues at its present or an increased intensity, the more the situation will look like a war between the enforcers of the mandates and the people who refuse to give up for so long so ... more »
SO WHAT EXACTLY WAS TRUMP TOO BUSY DOING DURING IMPEACHMENT TO FOCUS ON THE CORONAVIRUS?
Republicans have told us that President Trump shouldn't be blamed for errors early in the coronavirus crisis because, thanks to those evil Democrats, he was forced to devoted hours of his time to dealing with impeachment. And what do you know? A long *Washington Post* account of the early weeks of the crisis now confirms that Trump really was distracted by impeachment. So, for Trump, what exactly was the nature of the impeachment distraction back in January, as the virus crisis was developing? Let the *Post*'s writers explain: ...

Mexican Town Says FU to Closing Its Businesses
I moved to Mexico seven years ago and I live close to the town Tenancingo, which is in the state of Mexico. Yesterday the mayor got his order to shut down all businesses in town including the local farmers market. People in Mexico want none of it. They immediately got together and blocked all roads in and out of the town with trucks and taxies. The people took back their town and forced the mayor to resend his order. The town is now open for business. Here the police let the people block the roads, for in Mexicothe police will not go against the will of the people. Video belo... more »

Libertarianism dodged a bullet
If you had told me a year ago that there would be a global pandemic, I would have predicted that it would have the effect of somewhat discrediting libertarianism.

Privilege and the Pandemic
The pandemic-powered slide into crisis schooling is highlighting many aspects of how our public education system works (or doesn't). In particular, the push for some version of distance learning is underlining the huge gap between haves and have-nots. We see the gap on the district level, between districts that can quickly muster the hardware and resources to maintain "continuity of instruction" (which sounds so much fancier than just "keep doing the work") and districts that have to really struggle for solutions. Various businesses are hoping to "help meet the needs" of districts a... more »
