War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 14 minutes ago
The US dollar is sinking amid twin health and economic crises. Image: Twitter *William Pesek, Asia Times*: *Perfect storm sinking the almighty dollar* The “dollar-is-crashing” trade is the ultimate widow-maker. For decades, it’s confounded more punters than bets against Chinese stocks, Japanese debt and Hong Kong property combined. Yet might it soon pay off, finally, thanks to Donald Trump’s blunderbuss of a White House? The odds don’t favor it, at least for now. Neither Trump pushing US debt past the US$25 trillion mark nor his trade war nor his disastrous response to the coronav... more »

Montana: The Baddest Battleship Never Built

Robert Farley at The National Interest - 53 minutes ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, * Did the U.S. Navy make the right choice? *Key Point*: The Montanas would have been immensely powerful ships, probably more powerful than their Japanese (or German, or Soviet) counterparts. In the early 1940s, the U.S. Navy still expected to need huge, first rate battleships to fight the best that Japan and Germany had to offer. The North Carolina, South Dakota, and Iowa class battleships all involved design compromises. The Montanas, the last battleships designed by the U.S. Navy (USN), would not. *Origins of the Design:* The interwar system of nav... more »

Game of Chess: Germany and Britain's Surprisingly Complex Naval War During WWI

Robert Farley at The National Interest - 53 minutes ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, * The Grand Fleet and the High Seas Fleets were the best prepared, most advanced navies to face each other in modern history. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *On both sea and land, the war in the West was characterized by tactical brilliance and technological innovation. In October 1915, the Battle of Jutland still lay 8 months in the future. American outrage had forced the Kaiseliche Marine (Imperial German Navy) to limit its submarine attacks against British commerce, and Germany would not resume the unrestricted campaign until spring 1917.

How the Israeli Air Force Destroyed Saddam Hussein's Nuclear Weapons Dream

Robert Farley at The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, Middle East* The 1981 strike didn't end Iraq's nuclear aspirations. *Key Point*: Iraq responded to Israel's attack not by abandoning its efforts, but rather by redoubling them. What if Israel had not struck Iraq’s Osirak reactor in 1981? Or what if the attack, which was technically quite difficult, had failed? The attack, which was deeply controversial at the time, shifted the course of Iraq’s nuclear-weapons program. It also set a lasting precedent for how Israel, and potentially other nuclear states, have managed would-be proliferators. Could Iraq ha... more »

The Five Most Epic Battleship Showdowns of All Time

Robert Farley at The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, * Battleships took pride of place in the navies of the first half of the twentieth century. *Key Point*: For more than a generation, analysts and the general public perceived battleships to constitute the currency of naval, and to some extent national, power. The age of the steel line-of-battleship really began in the 1880s, with the construction of a series of warships that could carry and independently aim heavy guns external to the hull. In 1905, HMS Dreadnought brought together an array of innovations in shipbuilding, propulsion, and gunnery to c... more »

A Bull Calf Has Been Genetically Optimized To Produce 75% Males

News Staff at Science 2.0 blogs - 4 hours ago
Using the genome-editing technology CRISPR, researchers can make targeted cuts to the genome or insert useful genes, called a gene knock-in, and they have done it with the cattle SRY gene, responsible for initiating male development, into a bovine embryo. This first demonstration of a targeted gene knock-in for large sequences of DNA via embryo-mediated genome editing in cattle will mean it produces male offspring 75 percent of the time. That's not to increase sexism, it's a benefit because male cattle are about 15 percent more efficient at converting feed into weight gain than fem... more »
