Orthodoxy, Systematic Theology, And Music
Fr. Stephen FREEMAN, OrientalReview.org - 21 hours ago
I have heard it said, numerous times, that Orthodox Christianity “does not do” systematic theology. Having done my graduate studies in systematic theology, I occasionally bristle at the comment, particularly when those making it have never actually studied the subject. It is true that Orthodoxy does not do “systematic” theology, […]

Is China’s H-6K Heavy Bomber as Good as America’s B-52?
David Axe, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*David Axe* *Technology, Asia* The H-6K is Beijing’s B-52 — a far-flying, fuel-efficient heavy bomber combining a simple, time-tested airframe with modern electronics and powerful, precision weaponry. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *In battle, a long-range bomber is only as good as the intelligence that tells it where to strike. And when it comes to intel for bomber raids, China might not be quite ready to steer its new H-6Ks. Today just three countries operate long-range heavy bombers. Russia has 170 or so Bears, Backfires and Blackjacks. America fields 160 swing-wing B-1s,...

How Science Ignores The Living World — An Interview With Vine Deloria
"In a capitalist system, whoever supplies the money determines the technology. This means that science, as it’s applied, is never really for the good of humankind, but instead for the good of the financial elite or the military. It also means that science will be dominated by the authorities who have found institutional favor, whether they have the best evidence for their beliefs or not."

B83: The U.S. Military's Most Dangerous Nuclear Weapon?
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Americas* [image: Wikimedia Commons] At nearly one and a half tons, the B83 is the largest nuclear bomb that the United States currently keeps. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Today, the bomb has been moved into a "bunker-buster" role. However, considering the political implications of using a tactical nuclear weapon, it is likely they will remain on the ground. Thank God for that. The B83 is one of two so-called “dumb” or unguided nuclear bombs that the United States maintains as a part of its post-Cold War Enduring Stockpile arsenal. Along with in...
What is a "Ground Effect Vehicle?"
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Eurasia* [image: Reuters] The RFB X-114 was intended to be able to traverse rougher waters and possibly the open ocean by flying higher than previous ground effect vehicles. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Despite the overall favorable capabilities displayed by the X-114, and an evaluation by the West German Ministry of Defense, the project was not further pursued. Ground effect vehicles take advantage of a flight phenomenon in which an aircraft at low altitude experiences lower drag and increased lift, in effect “floating” along the surface of the ...

[image: Watch: Iranian naval forces seize foreign ship carrying smuggled oil] BEIRUT, LEBANON (8:00 A.M.) – The Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s naval forces detained a ship carrying the Panama flag in the Gulf waters that it said was “smuggling fuel from another ship,” and arrested 10 sailors and confiscated 300,000 liters of fuel.

Why the Tank Is Here to Stay
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2016%3Anewsml_S1BETETAEIAB&share=true] This warmachine is still vital and fullfills a need that other weapon systems simply cannot. *Key point: *These weapons are common all over the world ever since they were invented. Here is why even now many countries will keep tanks around. After more than 100 years since the first tanks rolled into action during the Battle of the Somme in the First World War, the tank continues to evolve, but it is unlikely that these metal behemoths will l...

Flamed Out: Why the Army Does Not Have Flamethrowers Anymore
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Peter Suciu* *History, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2015%3Anewsml_TM3EB4T1HOV01&share=true] Such weapons were controversial and also not very effective in combat. *Key point: *Flamethrowers have been used for a very long time. However, in modern times they began to fall out of favor. The idea of using fire as a weapon likely occurred as soon as the first human settlement was attacked by a rival tribe. The problem is that fire doesn’t know friend from foe and for eons couldn’t really be controlled. The earliest known example of a “c...
You've Seen the V-22 Osprey Before, But Not Like This
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Americas* [image: Wikimedia Commons] The V-22 entered service in the mid 2000s, but the journey to the V-22 platform began much earlier. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The XV-3 was one of the first aircraft to use the dual-rotor technology, useful for quick takeoffs and landings, that would later become ubiquitous with the Osprey. The V-22 Osprey is easily one of the United States Marine Corps’ most recognizable platforms. Large, fast, and capable, the V-22 combines the hover and heavy lift capabilities of a helicopter with the speed and range of a...

Could these weapons really make a big different if Beijing decided to invade?

In fact, the Navy is becoming more alarmed and worried that it needs more ships. The U.S. Navy has concentrated too much of its combat power in big, expensive ships that are too few in number to win in battle against Chinese or Russian forces.
