Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 14 hours ago
IADL calls for the immediate release of Maher al-Akhras, a Palestinian man and father of six, jailed by Israel without charge or trial.

Fascism Is A Failed Response To Capitalist Crisis

In Marvel comics and movies, Ant-Man is a super-hero who can change his size using a special suit and “Pym particles.” When giant, he’s…giant. But when he’s tiny he keeps the same density as a regular human, giving him the ability to lift and move things much bigger than his insect size. The idea of […]

Russia and China's Nuclear Weapons are Becoming More Dangerous
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Nuclear Weapons, * What does that mean for U.S. nuclear doctrine and strategy? One top U.S. official has some ideas. The U.S. must massively “revise” its nuclear weapons-oriented 21st-Century Strategic Deterrence Theory to reinvigorate its arsenal of current and future weapons of mass destruction as a way to stay in front of fast-modernizing rivals, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command said. Adm. Charles Richard told a prominent think tank that the U.S. must quickly and efficiently prepare to face two major nuclear-armed rivals in the coming years, citing Chi...
Naenara 101: North Korea Debuts New Tablet Computer
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *North Korea, Asia* But you won't be able to buy this at Best Buy. North Korea is not exactly known as a prominent producer of consumer electronics, compared with its neighbor to the south, which gave the world LG and Samsung. But the country, per a new report, has introduced a new tablet computer called the Naenara 101. NK News, citing a domestic media report by Pyongyang Sinmun which was itself touted in a Facebook page by Russia’s embassy in Pyongyang, showed the introduction of the tablet, which is called the Naenara 101.

The Wealthy Want To Raise Taxes on the Non-Wealthy
Chris Edwards, The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Chris Edwards* *Society, Americas* In many states, they have pushed to raise sales taxes, carbon taxes, gas taxes, soda taxes, and cigarette taxes. Ryan Bourne and I examined the economics and politics of wealth inequality in this 2019 study. We considered whether the wealthy tilt our political system in a conservative direction, which many liberals worry about. We found that the political preferences of the wealthy are not much different than other Americans, and that plenty of top wealth is plowed into liberal causes. That reality struck me in examining income, sales, and pro...
Russia's Stealth MiG 1.44 Fighter: Built to Kill F-22 Raptors
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *B-2 Bomber, * It most likely had no chance--and was delivered nine years late. The Soviet Union’s MiG 1.44 was a well-known and visible effort to respond to or answer the U.S. F-22 Raptor, however, the project was quickly canceled after its first flight in 2000 for reasons which may still seem somewhat unclear, to say the least. While several reports cited engineering problems associated with the Mikoyan Project 1.44s first flight, its rapid cancelation may have had more to do with another clearly apparent deficiency--it simply does not look very stealthy. Any...
WW II History: How the Landings at Anzio Decided the Italian Campaign
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* [image: Wikimedia Commons] The fighting in Italy would continue for several more months. However, after an initial splash of headlines celebrating the fall of Rome, the eyes of the world turned to Normandy. As the last days of 1943 slipped away, World War II in Italy ground to a miserable stalemate. Below the eminence of Monte Sammucro, the town of San Pietro lay in ruins, its destruction so thorough that surviving civilians rebuilt their homes some distance away, leaving the heaps of rubble as mute testimony to the ravages of war. “For...

Counterfactuals: What If Clinton Had Won in 2016?
Pierre Lemieux, Econlib - 10 hours ago
Some historians like counterfactuals. In his book Escape from Rome (Princeton University Press, 2019), Walter Scheidel analyzes counterfactual scenarios about how the Roman empire could have aborted earlier or could have been later succeeded by another European empire. In general, counterfactuals are inseparable from rational understanding. To identify a cause is to know what would […] The post Counterfactuals: What If Clinton Had Won in 2016? appeared first on Econlib.
