Robert Beckhusen, The National Interest - 12 hours ago
*Robert Beckhusen* *History, Europe* [image: Wikimedia Commons] The Type XXI provides several lessons in how technology—while important—doesn’t alone win wars. It’s also a lesson in how the fanatical pursuit of advanced weapons can make winning wars a lot harder. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The Nazis' pursuit of *"Wunderwaffe" *throughout the Second World War created a vicious cycle. As they were losing, they spent more and more resources on developing radical new weapons, which distracted from more important logistical needs, worsened Germany's war situation, and increa...
Why the West Failed to Learn How to Combat the Coronavirus from East Asia

Roberts had run into an Iranian mine while attempting to extricate herself from a minefield. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Each U.S attack proceeded as if by the rules of a 19th-century duel. The U.S. ships radioed to the Iranians their intent to destroy the platform, and gave them five minutes to abandon ship.

Reclaiming the Race Analogy in Fulton v. City of Philadelphia
Guest Blogger, Balkinization - 5 hours ago
Kyle C. Velte The Supreme Court held oral argument last week in Fulton v. City of Philadelphia, a case asking whether a taxpayer-funded foster care agency may turn away same-sex couples who wish to be foster parents because of the agency’s sincere religious objection to certifying same-sex couples. A Philadelphia ordinance—the Fair Practices Ordinance—and the contract that a family foster care agency such as CSS must sign with the city prohibit such agencies from discriminating against these same-sex couples. But CSS is asking the Court to find that the First Amendment’s free exer...
Iran’s Army May be Huge, but the IRGC is Tehran’s Real Power Broker

*Scott A. Snyder* *North Korea, Asia* A return to provocations as North Korea’s primary mechanism for drawing international attention would signal weakness, not the intended message of strength.
