Did You Know That In The U.S. There Is No Party That Favors Peace
*War-mongers Jason Crow (D-CO) and Liz Cheney (R-WY)* Last week, the House Armed Services Committee-- an aggressively devoted tool of the Military Industrial Complex regardless of which party controls Congress-- voted on an amendment by Jason Crow (New Dem-CO) and Liz Cheney (R-WY) to *prevent* Trump from withdrawing troops from Afghanistan. As expected, it passed, 45-11. Think about that: a committee controlled by Democrats voted to prevent Trump from getting U.S. troops-- who, remember, are being assassinated by criminal elements to earn Russian bounties-- out of the 100% pointles... more »

Underwater Rifles Are A Real Thing (And So Are Supercavitating Bullets)
*Charlie Gao* *Technology, Americas* Supercavitating ammo is a game changer. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *In addition to use by frogmen, MEA in 12.7mm caliber could prove lethal on UUVs equipped with 12.7 machine guns. The significant penetrative power of the 12.7 MEA ammo means UUVs could possibly damage hull sonars, or even helicopters hovering above the surface by shooting them with supercavitating ammo. The oft-quoted figure is that with MEA ammunition, a UUV five meters under the surface can hit a target one km in the air. Until recently, underwater firearms have bee... more »
