The Prosecution of Washington’s Kosovo Clients for War Crimes
[image: undefined] The United States and its NATO allies launched a military intervention in 1999 that helped the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) win its secessionist campaign against Serbia. US officials justified that intervention on the grounds that Serbian security forces were committing pervasive war crimes against the Kosovar insurgents. American supporters of the KLA also asserted that the secessionists were staunch Western‐style democrats mounting a noble resistance against Slobodan Milosevic’s corrupt, brutal regime, and that America had a moral obligation to support them.

To Ms. Santiago of CNN
The company you work for, and all it’s affiliates here in the United States, are ALL on land formerly owned by Native Americans…. Here is what Ms. Santiago said. Just trying to educate you. You seem to be lacking in that department… some of this country was bought from the “Indians” for beads and trinkets, but I suspect 99.999999% of it was taken. This taking is a ongoing activity of this world, that started in the Stone Age. It continues with our government (and every other government in this world) having a clause in it’s Constitution allowing the government to … Continue reading →

Last Week, Trudeau ignored "Media" Plea to Free Meng...This Week they've Launched Another Ethics Probe...Coinkydynk?
*Trudeau Defending Use of "WE" Charity* Who knows who's in charge in Canada? Certainly not the guy in the center of the photo above. Just last week, the M*Z*M handlers placed some very telling articles in the* CBC and CTV,* interviewing relatives of the "Two Michaels" [now imprisoned in China] for the very first time. These articles made the case for the ending of the Extradition case against *Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou* which we were told was "at the discretion" of the Canadian Justice Minister. The idea is that once Meng is freed then the Chinese would end their "retaliatory" im... more »
Russia Built the Fastest Submarine Ever (To Bad It Is Already Obsolete)
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Eurasia* It was part of naval history for a reason. *Key Point*: The K-222 had several pioneering features. The K-222 was an extremely fast submarine. The Soviet Navy hoped that the K-222, a prototype and the sole example of the NATO-designated Papa-class, would be used to hunt down American or NATO surface groups through a combination of speed and stealth. The submarine’s design was purposely restricted to incorporate new technologies and materials. This was a change in Russian submarine design, which traditionally favored slowly incorporating smaller... more »

*Peter Suciu* *Security, * Nuclear bombing along with a rapid invasion were determined to be crucial to any such attack. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Fortunately for the world as a whole no one ever had the chance to give this plan an actual go. There have been numerous discussions regarding how NATO could have defeated the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies in a World War III that fortunately never occurred.

China's Stole This Fighter Design from Russia. Then the Problems Began.
*Caleb Larson* *Technology, Asia* There is absolutely no question that the J-11 draws very heavily from the Su-27 Flanker design. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Even though the J-11 designs are capable, their capabilities are also somewhat limited. The designs that they were based on are from the late 1970s—making them nearly forty years old. They are also not stealthy—and crucially do not support aerial refueling which is a severe hindrance. China’s J-11 looks like an exact copy of Russia’s Su-27. And it almost is—but it’s nowhere near as reliable or capable. *Export Ti... more »

Hence, they would be perfect for commando operations. Though small and non-nuclear, Pakistan’s submarine fleet would excel at coastal defense in Pakistan’s littoral waters—and inserting Special Service Teams, Pakistan’s Navy Seals. *Agosta- and Agosta 90B-class* Pakistan operates five French-designed Agosta-class submarines.

Defund the police means defund the police: Democrats want you less safe and criminals safer
New York City just cut the police budget by $1B. That means there will be 1163 fewer cops and they will work fewer hours since overtime pay was cut by $352 million. Democrats did this in a week where violent crime is spiking in NYC. In the last 28 days murders have gone up by 47.8% compared to the same dates in 2019. Rioters ran rampant in NYC and nothing much was done to stop them. Yet the problem in the eyes of Democrats is the police not criminals. Of course when the police get cut the people who suffer most aren't the rich Democrat politicians and their supporters who live in ... more »
BLM isn't about racial justice it's about destroying America
The first clue that the Black Lives Matter group aren't like the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. or any of the brave Blacks who fought Democrat racism is that they say that saying "All lives matter" is bad. However if you spend some time to find out what BLM actually does, things that the #FakeNews media won't report on, it becomes clear that BLM is more about radical white leftist politics than helping Black people. For example the co-founders of BLM have said that they are both trained Marxists: *“The first thing, I think, is that we actually do have an ideological frame,” Khan-Cullo... more »

*Charlie Gao* *Security, * Let's take a look. *Key Point*: For what it is, the Security 9 is a decent pistol. Ruger’s LCP series of pistols has been wildly possible, with both the original LCP and LCP II proving very popular as concealed carry choices. But with the Security 9, Ruger is scaling up the LCP design to a duty-sized pistol. This puts in direct competition with Ruger’s own “American” pistol. But how do the two stack up? What makes the Security 9 special? The Security 9 follows the LCP’s ergonomic profile, which results in a more ergonomic grip than the American. It als... more »

For today, we'll accept it as fact. Assuming that claim is actually true, Kevin's mother, like many others, is nearer the end of her lifespan, and farther from its beginning. With recovery, she may have many more years of painting and... more »

This Nuclear Bomber Was Impressive Looking: It Was Never Built (And It Was Not American)
*Caleb Larson* *History, Europe* Sweden came up with the idea. *Key Point: *Sweden wanted a nuclear bomber to defend itself. Here is the history of that shelved program. After the Second World War, Sweden initiated a clandestine nuclear program — and had plans for a supersonic nuclear bomber. *This first appeared in 2020 and is being reposted due to reader interest.* *Atoms for Peace* After World War II, the Soviet specter lay heavily across Europe. Like other post-war countries, Sweden wanted to protect itself from a Soviet invasion — and decided to manufacture nuclear weapon... more »
How America Captured a Russian MiG-15 Fighter (Thanks, North Korea)
*Caleb Larson* *History, Asia* [image: Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=1274558] This was Operation Moolah. *Key Point: *America wanted its hands on the Soviet-built MiG-15. So what is a capitalist superpower to do but offer a lot of cold, hard, cash? Korea, 1953. The United States’ latest fighter jet, the F-86 Sabre is getting blown out of the sky. Despite being touted as the most advanced fighter in the world, American pilots can’t keep up. They’re being outgunned and outmaneuvered by a pipsqueak of a jet—the MiG-15. *The Russian Connection* In... more »
Not an F-35, But a Real Killer: Meet Russia's Su-34 (Battle Tested in Syria)
*Caleb Larson* *Security, * It was combat tested in Syria. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Though it doesn’t have any stealthy characteristics, the Su-34 is nonetheless a capable platform, especially against other 4++ generation airframes. That means the Su-34 probably won’t go away anytime soon. The Sukhoi Su-34 is perhaps one of Russia’s most capable all-weather jet fighters, capable of ground, surface, and air attack. It’s seen service in Syria — and could be used to defend Russian interests in the Arctic. *Crew Cockpit* The Su-34 is a dual-engine, all-weather bomber/gro... more »
Japan Is Thinking Past the F-35: It Has Big Plans for What Comes Next
*Peter Suciu* *Technology, Asia* And it's very expensive. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Japan’s defense industry had already envisioned playing a central role in the project, which is expected to cost tens of billions of dollars in a program that could last into the mid-2030s. Last month Japan was poised to choose the United States as its partner to develop the successor to the F-2 fighter jet, but now the Japanese Air Self Defense Force has revised those plans and will instead develop the next generation fighter based primarily on domestic technologies. Japan’s defense in... more »
Art of Persia
Samira Ahmed's three-part series *Art of Persia, *broadcast on BBC Four, was superb - though I'd say it was as much a history of Persia/Iran as it was about the art of Persia/Iran. What a history though! And what art and architecture! What austerely beautiful landscapes! What magnificent camera work! And Samira made for an enthusiastic, agreeable presenter. It was filmed over six weeks between March and June last year. It had taken three years for the BBC to secure visas from the Iranian regime but, as Samira wrote in the *FT*, the regime then proved to be very helpful, grantin... more »
British Masters
The BBC tells us that Twitter is dropping the term 'master' from its programming code "in favour of more inclusive language" ('master' being the main version of the code), and *The* *Daily Mail* tells us that estate agents in London and the south and dropping the term 'master bedroom' for similar reasons. By coincidence, I was just catching up with a BBC Four programme - a repeat from 2011. The series, about 20th Century British paining, is called *British Masters *and in it presenter James Fox celebrates the "uniquely British take on modern art" of a group of British painters and... more »

Rio Bar Customers Disregard Crowding and Mask Rules on First Reopening Day
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - The first night that bars were authorized to reopen in Rio, on Thursday, July 2nd, was marked by disregard for the distancing rules imposed to fight Covid-19. Footage shows that establishments disrespected the 11 PM closing rule, and operated into the early hours of Friday, July 3rd.

Genuinely Ignorant
It is surely ironic that today -- July 4th -- is the day Boris Johson has chosen to liberate Britons. The pub doors have swung open wide. And Britons have been told that all is now right with the world. But Jonathan Freedland writes that British Independence Day is hiding an ugly truth: I’m speaking of 11pm on 30 June, the moment at which Britain lost the ability to seek an extension of the Brexit transition period. Unless we reach a new free trade agreement with the European Union in the next six months, we will be crashing out of the EU with no deal on 31 December. It seems like... more »
Liberalism and the Dream of Utopia
To the liberals, reality is disheartening and frightening, and they find a refuge in a utopia. The intellectuals among the liberals know that the utopia is unattainable, but since they believe in the political dogma that it’s better to reign in hell than serve in heaven, they keep egging their followers to crush the past and the present, and, if necessary, create a hell while questing for the heaven or utopian future. Will the hand of truth at any time reduce the myth of liberal utopianism to the putrid mass that it deserves to be? That is not likely because the power of the liberal... more »

*Closing Schools Was a Grievous Error* Education leaders across the country are trying to determine whether and when they can safely reopen K-12 schools. What everyone needs to realize is that for students under 16 years of age schools never should have been closed. These students should return to their classrooms for summer school right away. Older students also can return to school but need to observe the same precautions as adults under 65: washing hands, not touching their faces, and so forth. Sweden never closed schools for those under 16 and public health authorities in neig... more »
Why didn’t 8 years of Obama fix this?
This is not difficult to answer. The riots of 2020 are political, and although one white liberal goal had been achieved by electing a Black man who was acceptable to many whites--he had no ties to the African American experience of slavery, the KKK and Jim Crow. All foundations of the Democrat Party. But for liberals, he was the right shade. Not too dark. Even Joe Biden made a reference to how acceptable and "clean" he was. Good looking, well dressed. Haaavaard. Not like street fighter Jesse Jackson who had been running forever, was dark, and didn't speak pretty Harvard English. ... more »
