*DW:* *Belgium's COVID-19 health care collapse: 'It will happen in 10 days' * More than 300,000 of Belgium's 11 million people have COVID-19 right now. The president of Belgium's medical union tells DW how desperate and precarious the country's health system has become. On October 29, Belgium recorded its highest daily infection number on record: more than 20,000. The epicenter is Liege, where surrounding boroughs have seen more than 10% of the population infected. DW spoke with Philippe Devos, the president of Belgium's association of medical unions, who works as an intensivi...

*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2011%3Anewsml_GM1E78F0Y0N01&share=true] Tokyo was hoping for a knock-out blow. Instead they awoke a sleeping giant. *Key point:* Even Yamamoto knew that the attack was a risky gamble. Indeed, it only delayed America's abiltiy to win. It was, as the phrase goes, another perfect day in paradise. As the sun rose above the Pacific in the clear, cloudless sky east of the Hawaiian Islands, on December 7, 1941, the giant U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, on the island of Oahu, was...

*We're going long. It has to be done because the situation around Nagarno Karabakh is vastly more complicated then is being covered. The media, alt and main stream is largely spin with a liberal dose of anti Muslim attitude. France has been over the top with this as of late. Curiously today a Greek Orthodox Priest (Greece) was shot by Muslim extremist (Turkey) You see how memes play over and over in the media. Reinforcement. It keeps you focused. Fearful. And controlled.

*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Environment, World* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC2Z0J9LTPSL&share=true] This does not bode well for the global climate. A sixty-member international team of scientists has now found evidence that frozen methane deposits in the Arctic Ocean are beginning to be released. Methane—a potent greenhouse gas that is partly responsible for driving forward man-made climate change—has been detected even at depths of 350 meters in the Laptev Sea near Russia. The deposits are considered “sleeping giants of the carbon cy...
Nuked Three Times: Meet the Impressive XF-90 Fighter Jet

*Sebastien Roblin* *History, Americas* [image: By U.S. Air Force photo - http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/shared/media/photodb/photos/060728-F-1234S-041.jpg, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=6385208] This fighter has one wild history. *Key point:* This aircraft was built to be tough and to survive as an escort jet. Here is its enduring legacy. In 1945, the U.S. Army Air Force issued a requirement for a “penetrating escort” jet that could accompany comparatively ponderous B-29 and B-50 strategic bombers all the way to targets over the Soviet Union. I...
What Ever Happened to the Stealthy RAH-66 Comanche?

But America's pursuit of stealth across the board as not been cheap. Pop quiz: what prominent U.S. military aircraft has a stealthy radar cross section and advanced networked sensors but has gone billions over budget and has fallen years behind schedule? While the F-...
China Wants to Put Its J-20 Stealth Fighter on Its Aircraft Carriers
David Axe, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2017%3Anewsml_RC136E20EAD0&share=true] What kind of modifications would it take to pull that off? *Key point: *Beijing wants to do what Washington has done with the F-35 and add a stealth jet to its carriers. Such a move would only extend China's growing sea power. The Chinese military reportedly has decided to develop the air force’s J-20 stealth fighter into a sea-based variant to fly from the navy’s growing fleet of aircraft carriers. The Central Military Commission, the People’s L...
On Tory Incompetence and Stupidity
Phil, All That Is Solid ... - 5 hours ago
Another national lockdown is due to begin 00:00 hours Thursday morning and stretch to 2nd December. Seems very sensible. While a fortnight too late, just like last time, I suppose better late than never. But that's before looking at the detail. Unlike March and April, the new rules are significantly less restrictive. But does less restrictive mean less effective? At Johnson's press conference, he said pubs and restaurants are to close though takeaway services are allowed to continue. Non-essential retail will close, and no more mixing of households. International travel is banned an...

Robert, Ice Age Now - 5 hours ago
Democrats are expressing unease because members of their party are not showing up in Miami-Dade in the same volume seen four years ago. Thursday’s Trump rally drew “thousands” compared to Biden’s “hundreds.” As of Thursday, 53 percent of Democrat voters had turned out to vote in the crucial blue county compared to the 59 percent ...

Happy Halloween. I always wanted to do special Halloween posts to celebrate Egypt’s horror heritage and God knows we got a lot to share but it is 2020 Needless to say, the true Halloween night is not tonight but rather next Tuesday 3 November 2020 in the first place. I mean the whole world is holding it breathe for real. I wanted to write this post from a long time about the ancient Egyptian pieces that I felt to be a little scary at the Egyptian Museum of Cairo. [image: A clay head from Pre-dynastic Egypt at the Egyptian Museum of Cairo] Yup, that smile !! By far, this could...
