Why Pseudo States Like Kosovo Live in Limbo

George Kyris, Agon Demjaha at The National Interest - 11 minutes ago
*George Kyris, Agon Demjaha* *Politics, * While managing to claim control of a territory and its people from a previous sovereign is important, being internationally recognised as the sovereign of that area is also crucial for functioning like other states. If we look at a map, the world appears neatly organised into a patchwork of states. They are clearly named and have clear borders. Yet, a closer looks reveals a much more complicated picture.

Assassination Squad: Why Russia Turns To Unit 29155 To Get Dirty Jobs Done

Why Abandoned Boats Are a Hazard to Human Health and Local Ecology

Corina Ciocan at The National Interest - 11 minutes ago
*Corina Ciocan* *Environment, * These abandoned fibreglass boats are releasing toxins and microplastics across the world. Where do old boats go to die? The cynical answer is they are put on eBay for a few pennies in the hope they become some other ignorant dreamer’s problem. As a marine biologist, I am increasingly aware that the casual disposal of boats made out of fibreglass is harming our coastal marine life. The problem of end-of-life boat management and disposal has gone global, and some island nations are even worried about their already overstretched landfill. The stren... more »

How TikTok Got Caught in the Crosshairs of US-China Politics

Kerry Brown at The National Interest - 11 minutes ago
*Kerry Brown* *Politics, * Vowing to ban TikTok was a power play by the US president. Donald Trump’s threat to ban TikTok, a video sharing app owned by Beijing-based ByteDance, on August 1 is only the latest in a series of clashes between the US and China. With each of these events – from the US ban on telecoms company Huawei to the US response to events in Hong Kong and the continuing escalation of the trade war which stretches back formally to 2018 – one has to remember that there are several different conflicts taking place between the world’s largest and second-largest econo... more »

The Navy Has A Ship Problem, But It's Not The One You'd Expect

David Whyte, "Sweet Darkness"

CoyotePrime at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 4 hours ago
"Sweet Darkness" "When your eyes are tired the world is tired also. When your vision has gone no part of the world can find you. Time to go into the dark where the night has eyes to recognize its own. There you can be sure you are not beyond love. The dark will be your womb tonight. The night will give you a horizon further than you can see. You must learn one thing: the world was made to be free in. Give up all the other worlds except the one to which you belong. Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you a... more »

Paulo Coelho, "Heaven and Hell"

"Heaven and Hell" by Paulo Coelho "A man, his horse and his dog were traveling down a road. When they were passing by a gigantic tree, a bolt of lightning struck and they all fell dead on the spot. But the man did not realize that he had already left this world, so he went on walking with his two animals; sometimes the dead take time to understand their new condition… The journey was very long, uphill, the sun was strong and they were covered in sweat and very thirsty. They were desperately in need of water. At a bend in the road they spotted a magnificent gateway, all in marble, w... more »

"Our Sound And Fury"

CoyotePrime at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 4 hours ago
*"Our Sound And Fury"* by The Zman "An old axiom is that the first casualty of war is truth. The facts of the matter stop being important, so both sides feel free to say what they like about the other and the issue at the center of their dispute. Similarly, truth is an early victim of partisanship, as the partisan is only interested in the interests of his group. By extension, one can say that truth is always an early victim of politics. The sides have their interests, which are tied to the people whose interests are being served. Of course, what we think of as truth is tangled up... more »

The Allies Wanted Their World War II Navies To Be 'Invisible' (They Almost Succeeded)

Sebastien Roblin at The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Europe* Science fiction cloaking meets reality. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Though aircraft-mounted Yehudi lights proved effective, the device was never deployed operationally. This was because of the introduction of centimeter-wave radars gave anti-submarine aircraft such efficiency that U-Boats rarely surfaced during the day; air-search radars were assumed to make visual cloaking obsolete; and scaring submarines into crash diving and slinking away was considered desirable for convoy escort. Cloaking devices are a staple of science fiction.... more »
