Do You Want To Go Out To Eat Again? I'm Wary

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 13 seconds ago
We've been eating well during the pandemic, actually better than we have for the preceding couple of decades. That's because we ate out a lot and even the very best restaurant food is never as healthy as home-cooking. Also because I was a chef for almost 4 years-- and in a vegan/health food restaurant-- when I lived in Amsterdam. No need to hear the whole saga but but, as I've said before, cooking is more or less like riding a bike; you don't forget the techniques and food combinations and after a while you start recalling all the old recipes. So, virtually nothing but the best oi... more »

What Are the Odds of a Nuclear War Between India and Pakistan?

Annie Waqar at The National Interest - 31 minutes ago
*Annie Waqar* *Security, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2015%3Anewsml_GF10000195056&share=true] This is what the research shows. Of the numerous areas of global tension, arguably the most perilous is that between India and Pakistan. And recent events in Kashmir have made the situation even more dangerous. The reason is straightforward: India and Pakistan are in a long-running and incendiary dispute, they are both nuclear powers, and crossing a confrontational threshold could ignite a nuclear war between them.

How Newspapers Turned the British Defeat at Dunkirk Into a Miracle

Tim Luckhurst at The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Tim Luckhurst* *History, Europe* That the British public regards Dunkirk as a triumph owes much to the work of British newspaper journalists and the Royal Navy press officers who briefed them. Modern Britons associate The Great Escape with the 1963 film of that name starring Steve McQueen, reffering to, of course, a mass escape by Allied prisoners during the second world war. But this title might more appropriately be applied to the rescue of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) from Dunkirk between May 27 and June 4 1940. As the UK marks the 80th anniversary of that escape, w... more »

The riots have bumped Covid19 from the news

Norma at Collecting My Thoughts - 4 hours ago
Even without an investigation and a trial, there was almost universal agreement that the white policeman killed an unarmed black man in Minneapolis. With such unity on a charged racial matter, the left had to move in and stop the peaceful protests with organized rioters in many major cities. Looting, burning, assaults and arrests. Michael Rechtenwald wrote yesterday: “Just watched for hours as sectors of Minneapolis were burned to the ground, killing whatever message was being conveyed--although I don't think the rioters had a message, other than to reap and sow chaos and destruct... more »

World War III: This Is How The Warsaw Pact Would Have Defeated NATO

Kyle Mizokami at The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Europe* A bolt-from-the-blue assault. *Here's What You Need To Remember: * NATO would have lost the war. NATO’s assumption that the war would gradually escalate to nuclear weapons would have been fatal against an adversary that planned to use them on Day One. The use of nukes in Western Europe would devolved the decision to employ them away from NATO as a collective body to heads of the United States, France and the UK. All three would be forced to use battlefield nukes to save their troops—and risk escalation that would devastate their homelands—or wa... more »

While technically not an invasion, the American military intervention at Archangel, Russia earned the nickname "Polar Bear Expedition" and it was actually to prevent the German advance and to help reopen the Eastern Front following Communist Russia'... more »

While aircraft are often described as being “fixed-wing,” the fact is that some aren’t quite as fixed as others. Even before World War II some aircraft were designed with wings that could fold, which allowed up to 50 percent more aircraft to be stored aboard aircraft carriers and by the end of the war folding wings were essentially standard equipment on nearly every carrier-based aircraft, and there have been very few exceptions since.
