DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 16 hours ago

The battle over scientific truth continues. First though, a serious case of the flu is potentially fatal and the same holds true for COV 19. What remains in dispute is just how many folks have been exposed. The pattern that i see out there is that this whole infection ripped through the population back in early November and went everywhere as quick as all that long before it started flooding into small populations of the highly vulnerable. The Ocean spread quickly among the healthy and active. That is why the real numbers may well be similar to the flu. The good news is that... more »

GAME OVER: The Swedish - Belarus COVID Herd Immunity Strategy Has Won

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 18 hours ago
I do not think that the lock down came soon enough to avoid infecting the world.

However it takes a lot longer for the disease to overcome your immune system. That means all of China was likely infected during January. This then led to the global distribution.

Five Most Popular Posts In April

Phil at All That Is Solid ... - 20 hours ago
April was truly a month like no other, but how as it resolved itself in the month's most popular offerings? 1. Keir Starmer's Falkirk Moment 2. The Left and Keir Starmer 3. Our Compliant Media 4. Understanding the New Shadow Cabinet 5. On Tim Roache's Resignation More critical Keir studies than Coronavirus studies, then! But as I said last night, life goes on, the world still turns. And so the exposure of Labour Party scabs at HQ piqued the majority of the interest. But close on its heels are the arguments I made for staying in the party, despite the election of a new leadership. We... more »

Businesses Won't Recover From Coronavirus Unless Congress Passes This Measure

Adam Michel at The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Adam Michel* *Politics, Americas* [image: A closed sign is visible on the window of a business during the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) disease in Washington, U.S., April 29, 2020. REUTERS/Leah Millis] Now is the time for lawmakers to make full expensing permanent and extend similar treatment to factories and retail space. An idea gaining bipartisan traction in Congress would help fix the damaging taxation of new investments set to kick in amid America’s eventual economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Now is the time for lawmakers to make full expensing permanen... more »

Iran's Old Air Force Could Be On Its Last Legs

Paul Iddon at The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Paul Iddon* *Security, * But the arms embargo expires soon. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *After the 2015 nuclear deal, Iran had a brief opportunity to revamp its air force. Tehran briefly contemplated buying modern Mirage 2000 fighters from France but ultimately decided against it, logically concluding it was more familiar with American and Russian equipment. Two incidents in late August 2018 involving Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force F-5F Tiger II fighter jets underscored the ongoing crisis in Iran’s air force. On Aug. 21, Iran unveiled what it described as a new, fou... more »

America Underestimates Iran's Military At Its Own Peril

Harry J. Kazianis at The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Harry J. Kazianis* *Security, * Iran is ready for a fight. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Iran’s forces, when confronted close to its shores, would not be easily subdued. What is referred to commonly as the “tyranny of distance,” combined with Tehran’s growing A2/AD capabilities, creates an interesting challenge for U.S. warfighters if the unthinkable ever came to pass. The facts are simple: Washington and Tehran are locked into a long-term geopolitical contest throughout the Middle East that will span decades—a similar contest in many ways to Washington and Beijing’s batt... more »

Russia's Su-35 Is A Top Dogfighter, But Can It Survive A Ranged Stealth Battle?

Sebastien Roblin at The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * The Su-35’s speed (which contributes to a missile’s velocity) and large load-carrying abilities mean it can hold its own in beyond-visual-range combat. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The Su-35 may be the best jet-age dogfighter ever made and a capable missile delivery platform—but whether that will suffice for an air-superiority fighter in the era of stealth technology remains to be seen. The Sukhoi Su-35 Flanker-E is the top Russian air-superiority fighter in service today, and represents the pinnacle of fourth-generation jet fighter design... more »

Who Deserves The Title Of 'Worst President In U.S. History'?

Robert W. Merry at The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Robert W. Merry* *Security, * Bush? Nixon? Obama? Trump? *Here's What You Need To Remember: *What does history tell us? If you wanted to identify, with confidence, the very worst president in American history, how would you go about it? One approach would be to consult the various academic polls on presidential rankings that have been conducted from time to time since Harvard’s Arthur M. Schlesinger Sr. pioneered this particular survey scholarship in 1948. Bad idea. Most of those surveys identify Warren G. Harding of Ohio as the worst ever. This is ridiculous. Harding presided... more »

Why The Air Force Said 'No' To More F-22s

TNI Staff at The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*TNI Staff* *Security, * The aging F-22 design will not be competitive against an evolving threat as nations like Russia and China continue to invest in new technologies. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The Air Force can no longer afford to develop a new aircraft in the same manner it developed the F-22 or F-35. Doing so would concede the technological high ground to Russia and China. A 2017 Pentagon report to Congress detailing production retail costs for Lockheed Martin’s F-22 Raptor show that reviving the powerful stealth air superiority fighter would be prohibitively expe... more »

Could China Have Cracked The Secret To Defeating America's Best Stealth Fighters?

TNI Staff at The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*TNI Staff* *Technology, Asia* The F-35 and F-22 could be in trouble. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Stealth and electronic attack always have a synergistic relationship because detection is about the signal-to-noise ratio. Low observables reduce the signal, while electronic attack increases the noise. “Any big picture plan, looking forward, to deal with emerging A2/AD threats will address both sides of that equation,” he said. *State-run Chinese media* is claiming that the People’s Liberation Army has been able to track the U.S. Air Force’s Lockheed Martin *F-22 Raptor* s... more »

Germany Wasn't Prepared For Russia's World War II Flying Aircraft Carriers

Sebastien Roblin at The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Eurasia* Meet the Zveno project. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Unlike most experimental weapons with brief combat careers, the Zveno-SPB proved surprisingly effective—consistently inflicting significant damage to key targets deep behind enemy lines and suffering relatively light loss rates compared to most VVS units. Early in the morning of August 10, 1941, three boxy Soviet TB-3 bombers took off from the airbase at Yevpatoria in the Crimean Peninsula, bearing a most unusual cargo under their gargantuan wings: two manned, stubby-nosed I-16 fi... more »
