"100 Awfully Good Oxymorons"

CoyotePrime at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 16 hours ago
*"100 Awfully Good Oxymorons"* by Richard Nordquist/ThoughtCo "An oxymoron is a figure of speech, usually one or two words in which seemingly contradictory terms appear side by side. This contradiction is also known as a paradox. Writers and poets have used it for centuries as a literary device to describe life’s inherent conflicts and incongruities. In speech, oxymorons can lend a sense of humor, irony, or sarcasm. The word “oxymoron” is itself oxymoronic, which is to say contradictory. The word is derived from two ancient Greek words oxys, which means “sharp,” and moronos, which ... more »

The Kenosha, WI riots and shootings: initial lessons learned

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 17 hours ago
There's a whole lot of confusion surrounding events in Kenosha, Wisconsin over the past few days. What's clear is that after police shot a man there, rioters torched numerous businesses in the town, and appear to have tried to intimidate townsfolk. This led to an armed encounter on Tuesday evening in which two rioters were shot dead and at least one was severely injured (possibly maimed for life, if photographs of his wound are anything to go by). The young man responsible for the shooting, Kyle Rittenhouse, has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder, but whether he c... more »

What If the Air Force Never Built Its F-22 Raptors?

Robert Farley at The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, * Alternatives are possible to imagine. *Key Point*: The F-22 has not participated in a consequential way in any military conflict. The F-22 has been the world’s most formidable air superiority fighter since it first entered service in 2005. Although the Raptor has yet to kill a target in anger, aviation specialists almost unanimously agree that it can outclass any opponent, foreign or domestic. The only hard limitation on its ability to kill appears to be the number of missiles that it can carry. But what if the F-22 had never been? Like all advanced ... more »

Hitler Hoped These 'Wonder Weapons' Would Win World War II

*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* He was wrong. *Key Point*: As World War II turned against Hitler, he became desperate to develop weapons that might turn the tide. During Germany’s early string of victories between 1939 and 1941, Hitler informed the members of the nation’s aerospace industry that he had decided to impose new restrictions on aircraft research and development. However, by 1942 the Führer and his Air Force High Command (Oberkommando der Luftwaffe) had recognized their mistake. With the increasing weakness in the fighter arm, Hitler saw that his old faith... more »

1999's Indo-Pakistan Conflict Proved That Nuclear Weapon States Can Fight Wars

Young New Zealanders Should Be Welcomed at the Polls, Even if They're 16

*Nick Munn* *Politics, New Zealand* The current system disadvantages an already vulnerable and powerless group – the young. Lowering the voting age would address this. And we could start by listening to the young Kiwis who have taken their age discrimination campaign, Make it 16, to the High Court.
