The Vaccine Nationalism of COVID-19
*Duncan Matthews* *Public Health, Europe* [image: Reuters] Governments have been clamouring to secure their own supplies of a vaccine, and making opaque deals to do so. The University of Oxford recently published promising news about the results from the phase one/two trials of the vaccine it is developing for COVID-19. The clinical trials, involving 1,077 volunteers in the UK aged 18-55, showed that the AZD1222 vaccine appeared to be safe and generated the all-important dual antibody and T-cell immune response. Yet as encouraging as this is, the public-partnership that underpin... more »
America Should Take Iran's Submarines Seriously (They Are The Real Deal)
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Middle East* The Iranian military has long planned for a defensive naval war in the Persian Gulf. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Past experience demonstrates that Tehran routinely exaggerates and obfuscates the scale of its defense projects, and the timeline in which they will be completed. Nonetheless, the submarine *Fateh* is tangibly real and looks like it could usefully expand the medium-range capabilities of the Iranian submarine fleet. The Iranian military has long planned for a defensive naval war in the Persian Gulf, in which it would l... more »

Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* It says something pretty horrible that we have a president that is so mentally lame that he feels he has to repeatedly brag that he passed a cognitive test 2 years ago. He's going around acting like it's his biggest achievement, and it just may be, at least if you're just looking for the positive ones. Obviously, there were enough signs of Trump's mental deterioration 2 years ago or else he would not have been given the test; not that we can trust anything that the doctors around him would ever say about the results anyway. The signs were there during the 2016 campaign ... more »

Why Imperial Japan Decided to Gamble at Pearl Harbor (And Why the Attack Backfired)
*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2014%3Anewsml_GM1EA8F0XT301&share=true] The attack would not humble America but rather unleash a sleeping giant. *Key point: *The war would not go well for Tokyo. It only took six months before Imperial Japan had to go on the defensive. It was, as the phrase goes, another perfect day in paradise.

Russia's 'Skyfall' Nuclear Cruise Missile Is A Danger (And Not Only To Its Enemies)
*Sebastien Roblin* *Technology, Europe* When testing goes wrong. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Russia is still far from solving the daunting challenges of developing a practical and functional nuclear-powered missile. Even if the Skyfall is eventually developed into an operational system, deploying dozens of strategic missiles each with their own miniature nuclear reactors would be extremely expensive and pose costly political, safety and security risks—as was amply demonstrated by the tragic incident on August 8.

India And America Have Plans To Keep China's J-20 Stealth Fighter From Ruling The Skies
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* The stealth wars are raging. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The J-20’s short-range capabilities naturally lead to the question—what exactly happens when two stealth fighters clash? If their stealth qualities are robust, both aircraft may only be able to detect each other within 50 miles or less—at which point air combat maneuvers could prove important. As U.S. stealth aircraft are one of the chief military threats to China, it seems reasonable to assume the J-20 would be designed to have a fighting chance against them. In January 2011, th... more »

Why Japan's Plan for a "Super" Battleship During World War II Never Happened
*Robert Farley* *Security, * Japan could have bankrupted itself spending on these massive ships. *Key Point*: Japan lacked the industrial capacity to compete with the United States. In January 1936 Japan announced its intention to withdraw from the London Naval Treaty, accusing both the United States and the United Kingdom of negotiating in bad faith. The Japanese sought formal equality in naval construction limits, something that the Western powers would not give. In the wake of this withdrawal, Japanese battleship architects threw themselves into the design of new vessels. The... more »

The political method of the liberals is most illiberal: they conceive a social theory first and then they try to find the evidence that might substantiate it and when no evidence is found to back the claims on which the theory is founded, then, instead of rejecting their theory and admitting their mistake, they try to save their reputation by blaming their political opponents and forcing society to transform itself.
