DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 1 minute ago
Yesterday, you may have read about Ted Lieu's proposal to strengthen Congress’ contempt power to break administration stonewalls. Ted and 5 other members of the Judiciary Committee-- Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Joe Neguse (D-CO), David Cicilline (D-RI), Val Demings (D-FL), and Madeleine Dean (D-PA)-- have been frustrated and angry enough about the Trump Regime systematically defying subpoenas to propose a strong "inherent contempt" rule that would ratchet up their power to punish executive branch officials who reject their legitimate requests. If Congress adopts the rule, they would be g... more »

Will The Border Conflict Between China And India Lead To A Naval War?

War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 14 minutes ago
*RCD/The Strategist: *Will the India–China Border Conflict Lead to a Naval War? The recent developments in Ladakh on the disputed border between India and China were shocking and tragic. The clash in Galwan Valley last week has opened up a deep fissure in India–China ties, spawning tensions that could even escalate into an all-out-war. The latest reports suggest the Indian armed forces have begun a rapid mobilisation and the Chinese military has been shoring up its positions, even as political efforts are on to defuse the crisis. With a spiral of escalation building, a conflict so... more »

The Volkssturm: These Fanatical Nazi German Civilians Were Ready to Die For Hitler

Warfare History Network at The National Interest - 25 minutes ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* [image: Volkssturm soldiers with Panzerfausts in Berlin, 10 March 1945. German Federal Archives.] From Hitler on down, the true Nazis took it as an article of faith that racially pure Germans of good stock would defeat the tainted Slavs from the steppes of Russia and the corrupt Westerners. *Key Point:* The Nazi regime mobilized teenagers and old men as its last line of defense. On October 18, 1944—the 131st anniversary of the Battle of the Nations’ victory over Napoleon in 1813—Reichsführer-SS (National Leader) Heinrich Himmler steppe... more »

The U.S. Navy Doesn't Operate the Most 'Stealth' Submarines (Think Sweden)

Caleb Larson at The National Interest - 25 minutes ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Europe* The Blekinge-class is even resistant to mines and depth charges for greatly improved survivability. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Thanks to the high level of thought given to the class’ design, the Blekinge-class could be one of the quietest submarine class ever built once they’re finished.

In Order to Spy on French Nuclear Tests, the U.S. Used U-2 Spy Planes from Aircraft Carriers

Caleb Larson at The National Interest - 25 minutes ago
*Caleb Larson* *History, Americas* Otherwise known as Operation Fish Hawk. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *This was likely one of the only times U-2s were used from aircraft carriers—though we will likely never know for certain. The venerable U-2 spy plane is an old bird. The first U-2s entered service with the United States in 1955 and are still flown today, due to extensive modifications. The large spy planes are easily recognizable thanks to their pencil-like fuselage and delicate looking wings. They are notoriously difficult to land even in favorable conditions—it would ... more »

From America's Police To Military, Everyone Loved The Colt .38 Commando

*Warfare History Network* *History, * Approximately 49,000 Colt Commandos were purchased by the U.S. government during World War II. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The Colt Commando was produced during wartime for the sake of both manufacturing expediency and cost reduction in a booming rearmament economy. The revolver fulfilled its role in arming a broad swath of military and nonmilitary personnel. Today, the appearance of a Colt Commando generates curiosity among those interested in both the lesser known weapons of World War II and the nuanced history of revolver firearms... more »

*Caleb Larson* *Security, Americas* You decide. *Key Point*: The X-5 ultimately did not function as intended. The X-5 was likely the world’s first airplane that incorporated variable-sweep wing technology. In the United States, planes with the X designation were used for research purposes only. The X planes explored the limits of flight with the intent that the data they gathered would be used to improve subsequent American airplane designs. The X-5 was no exception.
