We Must Wear Masks

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 3 minutes ago
*Face To Face by Nancy Ohanian* Over a dozen states have mandated that anyone in a public indoor space must wear a mask. CNN: "With many states starting to lift coronavirus restrictions, more people are venturing out in public, but the number of cases is still rising in nearly half of them. That's where masks come in. A recent study found that the use of masks and face coverings has been the most effective way to reduce person-to-person spread of coronavirus." In California, Gavin Newsom's order says that masks must also be worn when social distancing is not possible. But Newsom is ... more »

To Stop The Soviet Union, America Was Willing To Kill Millions

Robert Farley at The National Interest - 35 minutes ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, * Nuclear weapons are a horror. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *It’s hardly obvious that NATO forces could have won; the Warsaw Pact had massive material advantages, and a well-conceived planning apparatus that welded all of the alliance partners (that is, Soviet satellites) into a cohesive whole. Fortunately, the Soviet Union decided to fade away instead of burn out, and we never learned whether NATO’s plan for defeating a Communist invasion would have worked. *More From The National Interest: * *Yes, America Has a ‘Ninja’ Missile * *How China... more »

*Robert Farley* *History, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_RC2GOD9TZRUJ&share=true] A huge, amateur mistake. *Key Point: *Never, never invade Russia. Yet Hitler did anyway. The war between Germany and the Soviet Union officially began in late June 1941, although the threat of conflict had loomed since the early 1930s. Germany and the USSR launched a joint war against Poland in September of 1939, which the Soviets followed up with invasions of Finland, Romania, and the Baltic states across the following year.

Caleb Larson at The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *History, * The B-25 was an American workhorse. The robust airframe helped propel the United States to victory during the Second World War—and was involved in more than a few noteworthy incidents. The B-25 was first designed in 1940 and was intended to be the United States’ medium bomber workhorse. On paper, the B-25 was not particularly spectacular: it had two engines, a pencil-like fuselage, and a fairly modest bomb loadout. Still, the B-25 was not without its merits. A staggering number of B-25s were built during World War II. The design proved flexible, and a ... more »

*Robert Farley* *History, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2016%3Anewsml_D1AETIJGLJAA&share=true] But Imperial Japan would have joined Britain's side. *Key Point: *Tensions were high in 1920 and 1921. What if cooler heads had not prevailed? The end of a war only rarely settles the central questions that started the conflict. Indeed, many wars do not “end” in the traditional sense; World War II, for example, stretched on for years in parts of Eastern Europe and the Asia-Pacific. *RECOMMENDED*: Why North Korea's Air Force is Total Junk ... more »

Will Trump's Regime Be Remembered For Having Had All The Best People?

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 4 hours ago
From the beginning of his absurd climb to the White House, Trump consistently promised he would hire "the best people." There were people who liked his anti-status quo message but who knew he couldn't handle Washington and may of them were lulled into imagining everything would be fine because they bought the "best people" lie. Like nearly everything with Trump, the opposite of what he says is more in touch with reality than what he says. He has consistently found the worst people, people like himself. And when someone honest or competent was recommended and slipped it, they were... more »

The Sino-American Competition Is Coming to Central Asia

Ilan Berman at The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Ilan Berman* *Security, Asia* By dint of their geographic position, the Central Asian states have the potential to serve as critical connectors between China and the global economy. A new era of strategic competition is unfolding between Washington and Beijing. Relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) have been on a downward trajectory for the past decade, propelled by increasingly divergent views of the global order. Even so, the bilateral relationship as a whole has witnessed a dramatic deterioration over the past two years driven by a hos... more »

*Andrew Scobell, Sumit Ganguly* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] This latest Sino-Indian bloodletting has rekindled a smoldering ire among many Indians who harbor a longstanding grudge against Beijing for a series of perceived slights over the decades dating back to the military defeat China inflicted during the 1962 border war.

They expect you to start understanding what right and wrong mean. These lessons come in the form of mysterious reactions that follow certain things you do. After you pull all the books from the bottom shelf onto the floor, quite a feat for a one year-old, they scold you for some reason. When you pee in the correct place, they praise you.

"Never, Ever Forget..."

CoyotePrime at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 5 hours ago
"Never, ever forget that nothing in this life is free. Life demands payment in some form for your "right" to express yourself, to condemn and abuse the evil surrounding us. Expect to pay... it will come for you, *they* will come for you, regardless. Knowing that, give them Hell itself every chance you can. Expect no mercy, and give none. That's how life works. Be ready to pay for what you do, or be a coward, pretend you don't see, don't know, and cry bitter tears over how terrible things are, over how you let them become." - Ernest Hemingway, "For Whom the Bell Tolls "

Labour Together: A Compliment to the Left

Phil at All That Is Solid ... - 5 hours ago
Yesterday, we saw how the Labour Together inquiry into the party's 2019 election performance was lacking in certain areas. But what pleases is how its conclusions point at the best way of dealing with the situation we're in. For instance, the standout question the strategy chapter asks is "We need to understand the coalition of voters whose support we must win to form a government." Hoo-bloody-ray. The report says, Labour’s current voter base is narrowly formed demographically, centred in cities and is largely liberal, culturally open and historically remain-minded. While there is... more »
