After Election Protection, Is A General Strike the Way to Beat a Trump Coup?
DownWithTyranny, DownWithTyranny! - 10 minutes ago
*-by Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman* Donald Trump has made it clear he will not peacefully relinquish power after the coming election, no matter what the outcome. To get him out of the White House, it may take the ultimate non-violent action: a nationwide general strike. Trump says he’ll brand any legitimate vote count that shows him losing to be “fraudulent” and proclaim himself emperor for life. He’ll push to fill RBG’s Supreme Court seat before the election to give himself a solid majority there should he lose it in the popular vote. Until it reaches that point, those op...

Why Arms Control With China Is A Must
John Rossomando, The National Interest - 44 minutes ago
*John Rossomando* *Security, Asia* Both America and the world need China to sign the START treaty. The United States and the world must exert all available political, military, economic, and diplomatic pressure to get China to sign the next iteration of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) or other arms control measures. China remains the largest nuclear power without any degree of transparency or treaty-imposed limitations. The START agreement signed a decade ago between the United States and Russia will expire in February, and the Trump administration wants China to sig...

US Preparing A Military Response To Wave Of Iranian-Backed Attacks On Its Forces In Iraq
War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 2 hours ago
*SouthFront:* *US Is Preparing Military Response To Wave Of Iranian-Backed Attacks On Its Forces In Iraq* Over the past months, attacks on convoys of the US-led coalition moving military equipment and supplies have become an ordinary development in Iraq. Local Iranian-backed resistance groups demanding a US military withdrawal from the country have conducted over two dozen attacks so far. The most recent ones took place on September 22 and 23. The September 22 attack erupted in the district of al-Dujayl, around 60 km to the north of Baghdad. According to Iraq’s Security Media Cell,...

Military Snipers Could Soon Be Using "Guided" Bullets
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 2 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Americas* It's all thanks to a DARPA project. *Key Point*: DARPA has been quiet on the project since 2014. One of the most challenging roles in ground units is that of a military sniper. Military snipers must take long distance shots with precision rifles, often doing a fair amount of math in their heads to make a bullet reach its target. A new guided-bullet technology, however, promises to make longer distance shots a little easier by installing guidance systems in bullets. The mission of the sniper is to take out targets at ranges farther than your ...

The American Dream was Always a Lie – The Path of Christ is a Lonely, Difficult One

"We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God." (Acts 14:22) When the apostle Paul wrote the above statement, he had been stoned to death. Or least, that is what his enemies thought. "Then some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and won the crowd over. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead. But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe. They preached the good news in that city and won a large number of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Icon...

Black Lives Matter is covering up its Marxist roots
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 3 hours ago
Americans need to understand that BLM founders are Marxists, and even if they take it off their website (where millions have already seen it), the demand to destroy private property, remove religious liberty and dismantle the nuclear family isn't going to go away. They've got a catchy slogan, but it covers up their goals. https://www.heritage.org/progressivism/commentary/fact-checking-new-york-times-fact-checker-blms-china-links?

Venezuela: From ‘Magical Realism’ To Parliamentary Elections
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 16 hours ago
Elliott Abrams, White House Special Envoy for Venezuela, recently referred to [far right politician] Maria Corina Machado’s foreign intervention appeals as “unwise” and “magical realism.” In so doing he made the US military intervention scenario less likely, at least for now, and he unwillingly left the electoral route as the only politically viable option. Meanwhile, Abrams himself has been pushing to escalate the blockade which has now generated a critical fuel shortage situation, with all its implications in terms of food supply and healthcare. The post Venezuela: From ‘Magical...
Japan Designed Battleships With Monster 20-Inch Guns. Why Were They Never Built?
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *History, Asia* Japan lacked the industrial capacity to compete with the United States. *Key Point*: Had the war not come, Japan still would have bankrupted itself spending on these massive ships. In January 1936 Japan announced its intention to withdraw from the London Naval Treaty, accusing both the United States and the United Kingdom of negotiating in bad faith. The Japanese sought formal equality in naval construction limits, something that the Western powers would not give. In the wake of this withdrawal, Japanese battleship architects threw themselves into...
Reforming Tokyo’s Ballistic Missile Defense is a Priority for Japan’s New Prime Minister

*Matthew Ha* *Security, Asia* Suga could mark his first policy success as Japan’s new leader by implementing a robust and comprehensive missile defense plan. With Yoshihide Suga confirmed as Japan’s new prime minister, one of the first pressing policy choices that he faces concerns the future of Japan’s ballistic and cruise missile defense (BMD) architecture. Since Japan faces a multitude of missile threats from North Korea and China, Prime Minister Suga should propose a comprehensive solution that ensures improved persistence and distribution of BMD capabilities to reduce the bu...

As peer opponents field ever more sophisticated air defenses the U.S. Air Force requires ever more ingenuity to get its B-52 bomber force to its targets. The Air Force needs a large missile its bombers can carry with them to strike radars, missile sites and air bases hundreds of miles ahead of the slower manned aircraft.

*-by Reese Erlich* In a surprise ceremony on Wednesday, embattled President Alyaksandr Lukashenko was reportedly sworn in for a sixth term after Belarus’s contested elections in August. Opposition leaders are calling the unannounced ceremony a “thieves’ meeting” and a “farce” and are urging condemnation of the action.

Wishful Thinking? Drone Warships Are Vital But Not a Perfect Path to a 355 Ship Navy.
Brent Sadler, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Brent Sadler* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] Unmanned warships will matter, but they need to be tested before the Navy can receive much-needed funds to build a larger manned and unmanned fleet. Defense Secretary Mark Esper recently visited California and where he chose to spend his time is enlightening. Stops included the USS Bonhomme Richard, which suffered a catastrophic fire in July, the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier, and in Santa Monica, the defense think tank Rand Corporation. The visit no doubt boosted morale, but one of Esper’s comments left analysts wondering....
A National Security Strategy for New Japanese Prime Minister Suga
Thomas Cynkin, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Thomas Cynkin* *Security, Asia* Yoshihide Suga will have more than enough high-priority national security agenda items to keep him fully occupied. Japan is incrementally becoming more of a consequential international actor amidst an increasingly complex international security environment, and so Tokyo concomitantly faces a greater array of national security challenges requiring nimble and effective policymaking. Unfortunately for Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, there will be no honeymoon period during which he can comfortably settle into his new job. There is no doubt that Suga i...

Hitler Wanted To Invade Great Britain, Here's Why It Didn't Happen

*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* Russia took precedence. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *For the British, the invasion threat remained well into October, but Hitler’s mind was no longer on England, if it had ever really been firmly fixed in that direction. Rather, it was turned east toward Russia. Major Graf Von Kielmansegg, an officer in Germany’s 1st Armored Division based near Orleans, France, was dragged from a cinema on the night of August 28, 1940, and told to report to his chief of staff. “As I entered his office I was sure that we were finally going to be...
Tank or Cannon: Meet Iran’s Bizarre M110 Artillery Gun

However, Iraq maintains it in service and it has a pretty decent range. *M110* The M110 is a bit of a zombie—neither tank nor artillery piece, but something of both. The M110 is based on the smaller M115 howitzer, a towed artillery piece that in its ultimate configura...
