Donald Trump Is Turning His Back On America’s European Allies By Taking Troops Out of Germany
*Ashley Burrell* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] By removing U.S. troops from Germany and walking away from U.S. responsibilities, Trump has bankrupted the United States’ credibility and reliability, providing ample fodder for Russia’s alternative narrative. To everyone’s surprise, Department of Defense officials announced that the United States will bring 6,400 troops home and move 11,900 personnel currently stationed in Germany to other locations. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper confirmed that removing the troops from the NATO ally will take “some time” to complete and co... more »

U.S. Navy's New Columbia-Class Missile Submarine: The Most Advanced and Stealth Ever?
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C1999%3Anewsml_PBEAHULRKCC&share=true] The current plan calls for the Navy to build twelve of the new submarines, but that could change. Nuclear missile submarines exist to ensure total atomic annihilation in the event the United States is hit with a catastrophic first strike. They linger in obscure, out of the way and nearly impossible places to find beneath the surface of the ocean. And now the U.S. Navy is building the quietest, stealthiest submarines ever to exist, complete wit... more »
Yes, the U.S. Army Is Getting Its Own Iron Dome Defense System
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_RC1A0EB87340&share=true] The Israeli-invented weapon will be built in the United States. Raytheon will now be building a cutting-edge rocket, artillery and mortar defense system, opening up new possibilities for the U.S. military and allied countries to improve air and missile defense.

Why the Trump Administration Is Wrong on Libya
*Michael Rubin* *Security, Middle East* Empty statements will not bring peace to Libya. Nor will intelligence community outreach to wildcards like Saif Qaddhafi, the son of Libya’s late dictator. If Eastern Mediterranean stability is the White House and State Department goal, they should first withdrawal U.S. recognition from Sarraj. His dealings with Turkey disqualify him as a Libyan nationalist and as a figure who can unify the country. Nor should Washington simply endorse an endless series of ineffective conferences in European five-star hotels. Faction leaders might talk, but ... more »
Could Air-Launched Nuclear Missiles Protect America From Attack?
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Americas* [image: By Balon Greyjoy - Own work, CC0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=76105555] The military seems to think so according to a recent test with an E-6 plane. Imagine if America’s land-based intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch silos were destroyed, its nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarines have been found and neutralized, and its nuclear bombers cannot get over enemy airspace. All the while, during this nightmare, the continental United States itself is suffering a catastrophic nuclear weapons attack. This sc... more »

The human race stands on the verge of nuclear self-extinction as a species, and with it will die most, if not all, forms of intelligent life on the planet earth. Any attempt to dispel the ideology of nuclearism and its attendant myth propounding the legality of nuclear weapons and nuclear deterrence must directly come to grips with the fact that the nuclear age was conceived in the original sins of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945.
